close explorer trick from ut2k4 and bf2 for cod4. helps fps

I edited this for some friends but it works and figured id share the code for those with older systems or low ram systems.

Make a new .txt file in the cod4 folder (just right click in the folder and click new, then txt file) then copy the code to txt file. What this does is cool. It closes explorer automatically, this is great for older systems and low memory systems. Explorer eats some ram (this is the desktop explorer not the web browser so save any work before doing it). Then it launches cod4 and connects you straight to the cl server. No messing with anything, it does all the work for you. This is helpful also for ladder match as it might get you a few extra fps. Then when you close cod4, explorer relaunches back. :)


copy and paste this code into the .txt file
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
start /wait iw3mp.exe +connect 63.113.60.2:28960
start explorer.exe

rename the .txt file to cl.bat and add to desktop


ps fizzy taught me this trick and im just keeping it alive with new games.

Very cool!

Where was this when I was trying to run BF2 :pissed: haha oh well.

I'll test it out later :)

Actually i had posted it back then as well. It would log you in and select your soldier as well. But it helps. Have 1.5 ram and i notice it doesnt lag as bad during airstrikes.

But i really like just click and connect.... Hopefully it helps you as well.

Oh I have 1.5 also. Maybe I can turn up the settings a bit with this :)
