If GameEx is sluggish or slow read this

20. In your THEMES\Theme folder, make sure that your selected theme's (Eg. "default - default") Theme.ini has AniBak=false.

21. Set NoWaitVSync=True in GameEx.ini

22. Set Sleep=16 in GameEx.ini

Not quite correct. 21 may make a difference. 20, should make no difference whatsoever. 22 will actually slow down GameEx, but is a good setting used in conjuction with 21. On machines that overheat 21 and 22 are good options.

I dont believe this should be added to the pinned topic, but thanks.

Actually, I quite agree they are not really about speeding GameEx up, but rather taking less processor power. These are tweaks I recommend since making these changes I have got processor usage of GameEx from 50% on a P4 3Ghz with 1Gig of RAM and Radeon 9800 Pro 256 to about 2-5%. Which I think are important changes to make especially for a computer inside a cabinet running 24-7. Preventing the likelyhood of overheating the computer becomes paramount, so if anything they should be default settings at least. To be honest I didn't even notice that the background was even moving until I made my own theme and realised the background was waving around. I thought my monitor was on the blink!
