Let me just quickly give my in-game/menu settings and ask a few questions about them and some other detailed settings and see if anyone can answer them. Bear in mind that I'm only playing with a P4 3.2GHz CPU adn ATI 9800Pro256MB card right now.

That's it for my in-game settings and please post any comments or suggestions. Now here are some more questions:
1. In the UTEngine.ini file, there are 3 settings I'm not sure about under [SystemSettings]. At FragOnSight, they suggest changing these to strip the high quality settings for struggling systems.
SkeletalMeshLODBias=0 (mine is set to 1 right now)
ParticleLODBias=0 (mine is bizarrely set to 2147483647 now for some odd reason)
ScreenPercentage=100.000000 (mine is set to 50.000000 now and I still am not sure what this setting means)
I guess just this one numbered question for now.
