Do you wish you could easily increase your framerate? Have you tried many configuration files / scripts that don't do anything? Well, this may be just for you!*
Look no further! Say hi to XFPS: Xavier's Framerate Prettifying System.
This plugin disables a lot of unneeded features that take up a lot of time when drawing frames, such as 3d skyboxes, particles, dynamic lighting, etc. It enables support for multi-core rendering (option in the game's settings menu sadly does nothing). It also disables Awesomium (what allows webpages to be displayed within the game). This means that gamemodes such as Cinema will not work as expected. The main menu is also HTML, so a clone of the Garry's Mod 10 menu takes its place. A standalone version that doesn't disable Awesomium will be available upon request, although it may be slightly more challenging to install.
If you have any issues installing or using XFPS, feel free to ask for help in a reply to this thread.

Hello everyone! With regards to the recent incident about the servers being down, they were unfortunately hit by the whole "ransomware" thing that's going around right now. Xavier is working hard to get things back up and running with that but in the meantime he called together the staff and some of the old-time veterans of the community to come up with a plan with regards to what to do next and what we want the next steps of the community to be. We have some ideas but I wanted to take the time to tell you guys about something that I fervently suggested and have been talking about for a long time with the staff.
My goal with this endeavor is to bring the community closer together and to facilitate more interaction between myself and all of you, while at the same time trying to grow and expand the community. I believe the game I created our guild in has the potential to fulfill all of these objectives provided that enough of you make the commitment to step up and participate. So, without further ado let me introduce to you the latest addition to CSI: our official PlanetSide 2 outfit!

So, without further ado let me introduce to you the latest addition to CSI: our official PlanetSide 2 outfit!
What is PlanetSide 2?
PlanetSide 2 is an MMOFPS developed by Daybreak Games, the same people who brought you H1Z1. It combines the elements of a first person shooter with massive maps to support as many as 300 or more players spread across 3 different and unique factions. Another key feature of the game is the squad and platoon system which allows for up to 12 players to form a full squad, or 48 players to form a full platoon, and work together to capture and defend bases spanning 4 separate maps. It is FREE on Steam to download and you can find out more by visiting the official site here
Why Should You Play?
Because games, especially this one, are always better with more people! The phrase "the more the merrier" could not be any more true for a game like PlanetSide. You get the satisfaction of playing with your friends while kicking ass as a whole squad working closely together with one another. With close to 900 hours of experience playing this game across almost 2 years I can say without a doubt that this is one of my favorite games, if not my most favorite, to play with others.
What do You Need to do to Join the Outfit?
Once you download the game, you'll want to create your first character by choosing the Vanu Sovereignty as your faction and Connery - US West as the server to play on. Once you finish the tutorial, hit P to go to the social tab and click on "Outfit." When you search for an outfit just type "cant" into the search bar and our outfit should come up. Submit an outfit application that has a short message of who you are so I know to accept you. If you don't want to...

New stuff! Cool stuff! Let's get right into the changes version 2.70.23 brings us:
Added:
Added:
- Air Drops! (dz_chernarus only for now)These happen every 2 and a half hours. For each chunk of 5 players, the timer decreases by 13 minutes for a minimum of 1 hour between each drop above 45 players
- Shop! You can now buy and sell items to the attachment trader in safe zone. The prices depend on the shop's current stock and the amount of players currently online. Note: The F2 store in which you may buy perks and stamps is still available through the same menu.
- Blood Splats! The red screen that used to appear when taking damage has been replaced by a new blood splat system. Where the blood appears on the edge of your screen indicates the position of the damage inflictor relative to yours.
- Up to 200 zombies See other changes below
- Proper weapon sound spatialization Gunshots sounds are now properly positioned instead of sounding like they're coming from all sides at once.
- Rare weapons: Items highlighted in bold are only available through air drops
- M82 (With new ammo type .50 BMG)
- M21
- M14
- TOZ-34

- G3A3
- Crouching is now limited to one per jump
- Flashlight will now work for people using XFPS or other FPS-enhancement configurations
- Helicopter sounds will no longer randomly stop playing
- M24 now deals 72 damage (Effectively replaced by the M82, allowing us to have more weapons that use this ammo type that would otherwise have been considered weak)
- 7.62x51MM ammo is now more common
- Fists may now damage vehicles
- New error message when attempting to send mail to a server in which your inbox is currently full
- Fall damage is now more like Counter-Strike: Source
- Fixed easily abusable spots in hospital and south of the map
- Memier death messages
- Fixed being able to purchase permanent attachments twice
- Fixed forcing a safezone respawn
- Heavily optimized zombie AI (More work to be done, but for now we can have up to 300 zombies on the map without lag. Currently capped at 200 - players * 2)
- Flashlights start with 15 battery upon being picked up
- Fixed flashlight HUD entry's numeric display being backwards
- New loot system for a better spawning rate certainty. This also allows for extremely rare items that have the chance to spawn once every few months. Stay tuned
- Prevented an exploit with the old store system
- Rounding errors in Scroll of Safety display time "You must wait another 0 seconds" has been fixed
- Tweaked weapon recoil so that bullets go above your crosshair when spraying instead of staying below.
