Yes, one of the most efficient methods to get better performance on slower computers is to lower the resolution using the method mentioned in the post above.
I was able to add the command to Recharged via Steam game properties and it worked. much better framerates etc. ..but how do i change it in game folder for Freerider v1? when i try, it says .exe may not be stable - then the icon changes (blank) and does not open? I tried Freerider.exe -screen-width 1100 -screen-height 600 - how should it be typed/changed?
EDIT: - I GOT IT ! It has to be done on the SHORTCUT to the .exe not the .exe file itself.
- I'm flying MUCH better now on these settings (I knew i was better than this lol).... zero latency (LAG) on "Car Park" etc. I have total control again - No more hitting the ground and ceiling :) my race times are way faster and i'm freestyling like never before !
- THANKS !!
Glad to hear that you got it working!
Yes, getting a high and stable framerate makes a huge difference when it comes to control.
For others who might want to do the same thing:
For the standalone windows version that is available here on Itch, the best method is to create a shortcut and add the command line parameters to that one.
On Steam, the most convenient way is probably to set game launch options directly in your Steam library, here's how to do that:
