Tired of lag in City Car Driving? Low framerate boring you? Between low end and high end PC's some of them have problems. If you do, you are not alone, many people playing CCD have those problems and they can be solved using 3 easy-to-install non virus programs.
+not so important step [CAN BE SKIPPED]
*Do not skip step

Steps on how to get rid of your lag

**Step 1: Download the following 3 softwares: 1) Advanced System Care (which heals your computer) and can be downloaded from here: www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html , 2) GameBooster (which closes all unnecessary Windows/Microsoft progresses while playing) and can be downloaded from here: www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html , 3) FPS Limiter 0.2 (which sets a FPS limit to your game, which your video card to run without getting overhelmed, and thus, with better performance) and can be found on a lot of site just search for it in google

Download those 3 softwares, and after you have downloaded all of them, go to Step 2.

++Step 2: Install the Advanced System Care software. And then run it. Update it with latest updates. And then, Scan your system with it and it will repair automatically any errors it may find in your System and in your Registry. This is critical as stable and clean system can lead to a smooth gameplay. After that, go to Step 3.

**Step 3:
3.a) Install the FPS Limiter 0.2 by following the sub-steps bellow:
3.b) Unpack the files of FPS Limiter to a folder. Unpack them all into ONE folder, together, and keep permanently that folder somewhere safe in your hard driver. If you are a Windows Vista user, keep this folder out of Program Files or it may not work well!!!
3.c) Double click the java application (FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar), and then click "Search Executible"
3.d) Now find Starter.exe which is located in computer/programfilesx86/Forward Development/City Car Driving Home edition/Bin/win32
3.e) In the FPS Limiter, set the FPS to what you want. Somewhere around 35-65fps is good. 35 is recommeneded. Keep in mind that making that number too high may make your computer overheat. So stick with safe numbers.
3.f) Then Click 'Create Bat'.
Now the FPS Limiter will generate/make an new, ugly file called Starter or something, make a shortcut of that to your desktop. Everytime that you play the game you are going to need to use that shortcut and not the original CCD shortcut.
Optionally, You can do anything with this file's shortcut, like to rename it to a more proper name like "City Car Driving" and make it have the original CCD Icon.

There you go! Now you have a icon that will make your game run at a nice, smooth, limited FPS.

Now your game is ready! Follow the following 3 steps below for how to set ready your computer and play!!!

++Step 4: Close your internet connection, so you safely can close all your Anti-Viruses and Firewalls!!! Close all your Firewalls and Anti-Viruses!!! All those internet-protection programs can eat a lot of PC resources, which does not leave enough resources for the game to run fast! Then go to Step 5.

**Step 5: Install and Run the GameBooster. Press GO TO GAME MODE. It will close all your unnecessary hidden/background Processes (that are automatically starting with Windows when you start the computer but you don't need them while playing City Car Driving! They eat valuable PC resources!). Go to Step 6 now.

**Step 6: Run the game via the new file's shortcut you created in the step 3! Running the file will NOT immediately run the game. First it will pop out a Command Window. Don't touch it! It is the FPS Limiter. Have patience as it takes some seconds. Shortly after the pop up of the Command Window, the game will run.


DRIVE SAFELY!

Also:
1)Each time you want to play the game, just repeat step 4 to 6 and enjoy the game! Simple! And when you exit/finish CCD, close the Command Window of the FPS Limiter. Then, you must run again the GameBooster and return from GAME MODE to NORMAL MODE! Simple!.

Your FPS are also set while recording, for people like david02, queenjerry, and Jericho. This also works during the rain time. So now you can have high fps during the rain on what ever computer you may have.

Oh, for step 4, when you boost the game once, just load it and gamebooster will boost it so you don't have to open gamebooster whenever you want to play.

Doing it now, hope it was worth the time! Just waiting Advanced system care to do its thing...

I have never been able to play with rain on windshield! It's wonderful. :D
Playing high settings 100% traffic with rain on windshield while recording has never been so much fun! :woohoo:

It hasn't even worked for me, I guess I am doing it wrong, followed this tutorial 3-5 times and still can't do it. Running the game on that .bat file but comes up with an error message in the middle saying your game isn't responding and asks me to close program. Confused?

Did you turn it into a shortcut to your desktop? It only works when the .bat is a shortcut.

Do you have to run it from the .bat or can you use the normal icon? If all the .bat does is limit the framerate won't bother with it, as it doesn't work-the command console comes on then instantly shuts down and the game doesn't load.

Do I also have to defrag my computer? It will take a while and I CBA is it's not worth my time.

You do not have to defrag your computer and using the normal icon is optional. Have you made a shortcut of it? You make a shortcut of the .bat and move it your desktop. I'll make a video of it.

I have shortcut on my desktop...I defragmented in 18mins this time rather than 2 hours.

I'll play around with it this weekend and then report back if it works.
