    How To Remove "Reload" and "Low Ammo" Messages - SP and MP

    1) C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Localization\INT

    2) Open the following file with notepad:

    R6Hud.int

    3) Find the following lines:

    [HudPlayerArea]
    Reload=RELOAD
    LowAmmo=LOW AMMO

    4) Delete "Reload" and "Low Ammo" entries (leave blank):

    [HudPlayerArea]
    Reload=
    LowAmmo=

    5) Save the file.

    You can also delete the "ENEMIES REMAINING" line for Terrorist Hunt mode to get rid of this message. It will simply display the number of remaining terrorists on the right side of your screen.

    How To Disable Post Processing Effects to Increase Performance

    The post processing effects (HDR; Motion Blurr; Eye Adpatation) puts extra processing cycles on to your GPU. If you eliminate them this should speed up your frames per second minus the added visual effects.

    WARNING: This may adversely affect the entire game, SP and MP, and you might not be able to re-apply the post processing effects. The only way to re-apply them may be a full re-install of the game.

    PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ONLY AS A LAST RESORT TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE.


    1) C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\Engine\Config

    2) Find and open the file with Notepad:

    BaseEngine.ini

    3) Find the following line:

    [Engine.RenderDevice]
    bUsePostProcessEffects=True

    4) Change from "True" to "False"

    The game will look very basic (washed out). Thermal vision will become very blocky and consist of the basic colors of Red/Green/Blue. The Night Vision filter (green static) will also not function because it is a post processed effect.

    Users MAY Not Need a Shader Model 3.0 Card

    WARNING: This has not been tested.

    Anyone who has a non-SM 3.0 card should edit the files below (after making backups) and see if the game starts up and what kind of performance and or in-game anomalies you encounter receive while playing.

    WARNING: PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALWAYS BACK UP FILES BEFORE EDITING.


    1) Find the following files:

    C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\Engine\Config

    BaseEngine.ini

    C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Config

    DefaultEngine.ini
    PCKellerEngine.ini

    C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Config\PC

    DefaultEngine.ini
    PCKellerEngine.ini

    2) Find the following entry in all the files:

    [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
    DisableShaderModel3=False

    3) Change "False" to "True".

    4) Save files and see if the game starts. Ideally, this should be done on a non-Shader Model 3.0 video card to confirm the game will start without using SM 3.0 if this parameter is active.
