Reduce Reduce Reduce

[HPAVC]

Obviously on slave sessions you often want to reduce the impact on your computer as much as you can if your using multiple instances or using lower end secondary computers.

Obviously a somewhat low resolution.

Often I have felt that the minimap was something that needed removing on slave computers. Perhaps it was just voodoo, but it always seemed that it caused extra lag.

Before I switched to using Wine for my slaves, unchecking all the audio seemed to helps (rather than muting the sound) the events don't seem to fire which means that the loading and unloading isn't occurring.

I have tried to remove almost every GUI frame I can find that I don't care for in an attempt to lessen the footprint of the game.

Anyone have any information to share on resource reduction?

No sound in setting's.

Lowest graphic.

800 x600 res or lower if possible.

And move the camera so you look straight down and zoom. Unless you need to see on that monitor too.

I believe it's possible to reduce some settings even lower than the in-game minimum by editing the config.wtf file, such as draw distances and things like that. But I could be mistaken.

Google WoW Tweak's.

Here's a dump of the Config.wtf settings.

and here's a blizzard site that includes some that I haven't seen listed other places.

Additionally, it might be good to look at what other people strip out of the WTF file for running under non-activex systems, i.e. linux.

is a good list of WTF settings for Cedega, but I wouldn't do the "opengl" thing in windows if you can avoid it.
