How can disabling replay recording give so much? It's just saving all the commands as text or some related form. No graphics or anything.
same question I asked myself before tryin'. Replay Recording is simply not as performing as in CoH1, but I couldn't say why and how! no official replies from relic about that...
In low-end rigs like mine disabling replay recording results in a boost in performance:
Intel® Core™ i5 3210M Processor
Intel Integrated Graphics HD 4000
8 GB RAM
Keeping AA low, textures high, physics medium and tweaking inside the settings in order to keep shadows but disabling Ambient occlusion file I can run 1vs1 multiplayer matches at avg 35 fps.
Which is more than enough to enjoy the game
