Hey guys,

As a general rule, we certainly can't endorse any third party applications being used to modify our game client.

That said, third party applications that do not add any in-game advantage or unfair benefit to players are not a high priority for our support team.

Use at your own risk, and always be wary of applications that could potentially have access to your account information.

And please don't post any links to this application on the forums.

Thanks!

Hey Val, thanks for the info. I do have to wonder though if the Development Team is planning on working on a new engine for the game. The game has certainly evolved a lot since the game was first released, and it does get pretty slow sometimes. I have a computer that runs Windows 8, so my machine isn't too bad. Even I get times when the game gets extremely laggy, and it appears that PWI has issues with using memory properly.

If the way PWI uses memory could get a massive update, it could mitigate the usage of 3rd party programs, and not only make PWI look good because of it, but save people from potentially getting **** by using programs with Trojans attached to them.

This is PW2. The first version was the pay to play version, if I'm not mistaken. inb4holywater

Upon further inspection of the thread...

/inb4close for necro b:chuckle

It shouldn't be closed for necro because it contains useful Informations that actually would be going to waste if this thread was to be closed.

Instead sticky it I guess =P

I have minimem working all the time now...
Mimimem doesn't actually interact with PWI in anyway, therefore cannot be a violation.
The only thing minimem does is clean up excess data in a computer's memory that programs don't remove on their own~
Just letting you know b:bye

Very interesting. I still think PWI needs to implement their own systems such as this, I'm sure it's possible for them to make their own program, and have it run as a background process. This way, 3rd party programs couldn't pose a security threat to players. I agree with people who use this, as the game can be pretty laggy sometimes.

That being said, I also agree that this thread shouldn't be closed for necro, though it likely won't matter if we ask for it to stay open or not.

1) Place all your music, movies, documents and favorites on an external harddrive. ( A huge one recommended !)
2) Install windows and office on you PC. All the newest drivers and personalise all your settings. Link your windows personal folders to your external harddrive. (80 or 120GB solid state C drive recommended)
3) Make an image of your harddisk.
4) Install some more basics like PWI and whatever else is really important for you the comming year or 2.
5) Make another image of your harddisk.
6) Go use your PC, do not click any suspicious links, do not install any software that is not really needed and when you do install something, only install what you need and definately no toolbars and **** like that.
7) Whenever you feel you installed stuff that you dont really need anymore or you think your PC might be slightly slower than it was when you freshly installed it, spend 15 minutes to format your harddrive and reinstall it with the image from 5). If you feel 5) is outdated and contains stuff that actually is no longer all that important to you, install 3) instead and repeat steps 4) and 5)

On top of that, clean the dust out of your hardware once a year.
That is how you keep your PC and PWI running properly.

Well, a little more than that imo. Make it so that it is very easy to reinstall. Having a good image of your harddrive makes it an easy desicion to reinstall and you will find no reason not to do it like every 2 or 3 months.

That's a good point.... PWI doesn't develop anything for PW though, they just hire Wanmei to do it all.

BF2 runs on this computer at 25+ FPS at the lowest, why can't PWI? b:cry
