Actually one way to fix fps issues is to play in windowed mode as well, I've been getting 15 fps all this time and when I played around with the settings and accidentally clicked on windowed mode I found a pretty drastic improvement and it went up to 30 fps. Hope it helps!
I found a fix that worked once but I think one of my cores is damaged, hold windows key press R, type msconfig press enter, go to boot tab, advanced options > check mark number of processors > select max amount under that, hit ok, on previous menu check mark boot log and os boot information and make changes permanent then hit apply, it will prompt to restart say ok, it will take a moment to boot as it is unparking your unused cores
the lag doesn't help the fact that instead of following to plot in the first city, i started wandering and now i'm lost because i cant make sense of the map
Alisethera buy a scroll to teleport to velika. Ask around in game if someone can help. If I saw a message like that asking for help, I'll give you some gold to help you find your way back.
Any user who has issues with the game starting after altering any files/settings either need to of replaced that file with the backup created (which should have been made before editing anything) or you'll need to re-install your game. If it keeps happening it isn't the files you edited, it's either your computer blocking it or TERA launch client issues, if you keep having these issues just post a support ticket on their main website, be it EU or NA.
thing is with a 100 kb ps internet it took me days to download this game and sadly ever since iv done this my fps has decreased by half to a point it unplayable sadly i wasnt smart enough to make a backup and change the setting back doesnt return it to its original state
***** I would advise to rewatch and read the description. Mouse Smoothing needs to be set to FALSE. Also, Intel Core i3 is a processor, not the graphic card (GPU). Those are two different things which affect gameplay, but having an i3 processor does not mean your game can run even the lowest graphic settings with a weak/old GPU. You can locate your graphics card in the Device Manager on your computer under "Display Adapters". You can google how to find that if you don't already know. Hope this helps!
***** And actually the graphics card almost doesn't matter on your fps the processor and ram matter the most the graphics card is only for encoding the image into your screen and then it looks better and doesn't have glitches
The overall FPS is alot better than it was before, but i still have moments where i just stop responding when i'm walking around. That's the biggest thing i'm looking to fix
Unbelievable this actually worked for me. I honestly was thinking about buying a new laptop. The fps worked and (probably not even true) my game got prettier. I thank you for your help!
***** its funny how i can run the witcher 3 maxed with 45 fps with my sucky processor so its up to tera to optimize the game better.... for either intel and amd
***** its not the ram issues the only way that could be making a difference is if the game was using over 3.5 gigs of vram its tera its a shit game with shit devs, i can play crysis 3 with a min of 80fps and a max of 180 with my 970 sli and even that game is kinda poorly optimised but i can't get tera above 30 fps
i dont know why it lags for me, i have beyond the recommended system requirments, But it only lags when people are around. It doesnt matter if i have my graphics on the lowest or the highest the fps stay around 10-20
This didn't work for me, when I tried to save the change from true to false it kept saying I had to replace an already existing file and when I said ok to that it said that access was denied
When you open the client, Alt-Tab out and start Task Manager. Go over to processes, find TERA exe, right click>change priority>Above Normal or High. This might help with it as it will put TERA in front of the line towards where your internet connection is going if I'm not mistaken :P
When I try to open what you're telling me to open it says access denied, and I right clicked it to try and run as admin, but there's no option to do that, just "open".
It wont let me save it brings up another folder to make me save it somewhere else like you clicked save and it saved it. Mine does not do that another window pops up for me but when i click save anyways its says Access denied and i can't run it under administrator when i right click it no option
First of all: Man I love you! Second: HOLY SHIT?! What an improvement! WTF? Third: I know exactly what this lines of code are supposed to be doing. Someone clearly fucked up a debugger! Sabotage? WTF?! Fourth: I love you! :D Thanks for serving so many people!
This modding of files basicly makes my resolution still say 1920x1080 but its noticably not, it basicly lowers the resolution of the engine considerably, might aswell lower it ingame
You should be able to find the path just by right-clicking your desktop Tera icon and selecting "open file path." I made this change before--I thought--what a surprise it wasn't saved! When I play it tomorrow on my laptop, hopefully Tera won't overwrite the change.
Best man!!! My FPS increased from 80 to 120 !! My biggest issue was to stay in areas with many other guys! Especially in Velika...now my FPS are fix and there is no problem anymore!!And to all with problems...either u did sth wrong or ur PC is bad :D THANKS MATE!! :D
Thanks it worked :) i was wondering why i lagged on a 3,8 hexacore with the same videocard as you...and i have 16gb of ram. Now it runs perfect on highest settings.
Well.. I gotta say this didn't work at first.. I tried some other people suggested and notice no difference in town. Then! I teleported to another town and my fps jumped from 16 to about 45! Gotta do more testing bit I think all is well now!! Will report if anything changes.
I couldn't find Program Files (x86) anywhere on my PC and that really pisses me off. I also searched on the computer "TERA" and I clicked on the folder and there was only the app to the game. Not a single file in there. That REALLY pissed me off.
First you need to enable hidden files, then go to your root drive (c:) and open program data, then open happy cloud, then client, and finally TERA. after that follow the guide above and your welcome in advance :P
Or you can search "run" and type this in there C:\ProgramData\HappyCloud\Cache\TERA. I've watched so many types of tutorials that i actually know how to do things differently now.
i apologise because its not relevant to the video but please can you tell me how to make that detailed map come up. i somehow closed mine and cant find how to bring it back up anywhere on the internet
The problem is not Windows 8 as your friends have fail in pointing at the operating system. Yes, having a slow internet connection in a game where it practically depends on your internet connection is your main issue. I highly suggest port forwarding 10001 for TCP to your computer. In fact, if 2MB - 1,4MB is your actual download speed, your upload speed is barely making the cut of not getting disconnected.
im having a problem about slow character loading ...like they're invisible for quite some time but i see their name ...please tell me if u have a fix for that
I'm guessing it won't work for everyone, but it did help for me. Framerate got like doubled. I can finally play battlegrounds with 15-40 fps now, although it's on the lowest settings, it's still better than 5-20 :)
Hey friend, I looked into my TERA's folder and there's no one file called "s1engine.ini"... What should I do? There are only files called "Default..." and other like this. Can you help me? :/
Hey, I did everything in this video but I am still having game lag. My specs are: Intel i7 2630QM processor, 4 GB RAM and I have Intel (integrated) and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M video card. I thought it may be because of integrated graphics but it's the same with another one. I tried many methods, even at minimum requirements I have around 20 fps only.
I changed both files and still getting under 30 fps in low graphic mode idk what is going on here but I have a comp that more then meets the requirements of this game
I'm on Windows 8. Never tested Tera on windows 7 on my setup : Intel Core2 Quad q6600@2.4GHz 8gig RAM NVidia GTS250 1go Yes, I do have lag spike. Velika used to hold me at 10 fps max. Sometime in battleground I get at 4-5 FPS. But I never had "problems" with this. I still have enough FPS to be able to shoot, place traps, retreat... I'm currently testing the change showed in this vid. It seems to helps. Won't be a migical cure, but I get better framerate than before.
Well this isn't exactly what I was looking for but I think it might be worth asking here. When I play I have alright frame rate but the mobs and other player's animations are all choppy. My own personal animations are fine. Any idea what this is?
You probably downloaded it via Happy Cloud streaming. I did this when I installed the game the first time. Try redownloading the client from the site, this time without Happy Cloud (which is a terrible program) and re install the game directly to your computer.
+Jake-ジェイク if you dont find your "TERA" folder look after GameForge (programfiles 86x) first and click on the first and the first and the first folder till you will find the TERA folder
When I use the button to auto detect the potential of the pc it says that I can play with the graphics settings to nearly full,so I think it's using the AMD and not the Intel...however I'll check better ^^
Well this did improve my framerate, but I'll still get lag spikes out of no where. Even though I have my graphic settings set to the lowest in game. I use a Nividia GT 325m graphic card, back when the game was in closed beta I never lagged at all. This sucks...
hey, everything runs smooth with my pc on highest settings, but i get this lag from time to time, im hitting some monster and for few seconds i get this lag spike, it gets me killed more often then i would want, do you know what might be the problem?
Actually one way to fix fps issues is to play in windowed mode as well, I've been getting 15 fps all this time and when I played around with the settings and accidentally clicked on windowed mode I found a pretty drastic improvement and it went up to 30 fps. Hope it helps!

this took me from 20 fps to 65-70+
This worked for me, thanks!
Robert Vermilyer is this safe to do?
Paulina Atienza your welcome :)
Cook3il yes absolutely, you see microsoft is not about quality, they dont tell you that your other cores are in a stand by mode
im sure my pc is good enough to run tera, or even games with higher graphics and it still lags so much...
gta v high here and tera still laggy
Titoepf X i changed my net like 1 month ago now ı can play in highest and it doesnt lag
me too, why?
And then you went into a bg or dungeon and it's dipping into 20 fps again...
the lag doesn't help the fact that instead of following to plot in the first city, i started wandering and now i'm lost because i cant make sense of the map

+Dan WolfSkyWay the gpu is the most nessesairy thing youre computer if you want to play a game '' Face Palm''
It actually worked like magic. Kudos!
It's in a hidden folder in the C: drive called program data.
The directory should look something like this
C:\ProgramData\HappyCloud\Cache\TERA
Awesome! It works. Can't believe just because of 2 settings can fix this issue! TYVM!!!
The overall FPS is alot better than it was before, but i still have moments where i just stop responding when i'm walking around. That's the biggest thing i'm looking to fix
Yeah, the framerate issues is one of problems i've never been able to method to fixing it, but hopefully ENM/BH do something about it soon!
Unbelievable this actually worked for me. I honestly was thinking about buying a new laptop. The fps worked and (probably not even true) my game got prettier. I thank you for your help!
I did everything u did and nothing happend when i pressed Home or End button....
Instead of 5 FPS in cities I get 10 now >:D
HAHAHA yay gratz!
xD
I can't find the bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE and bEnableMouseSmoothing=false anywhere. Please help
i got an amd fx 8350 and gtx 770 and 8 gb ram and i can barely run this game at 30 fps on medium???
***** its funny how i can run the witcher 3 maxed with 45 fps with my sucky processor so its up to tera to optimize the game better.... for either intel and amd
min
you can look it up its really a rather good processor never had any problems with it whatsoever
CakeTactics yeah i get a min of 70 fps in witcher 3 maxed 1080p but tera i can't get above 40?
***** its not the ram issues the only way that could be making a difference is if the game was using over 3.5 gigs of vram its tera its a shit game with shit devs, i can play crysis 3 with a min of 80fps and a max of 180 with my 970 sli and even that game is kinda poorly optimised but i can't get tera above 30 fps
i dont know why it lags for me, i have beyond the recommended system requirments, But it only lags when people are around. It doesnt matter if i have my graphics on the lowest or the highest the fps stay around 10-20
This didn't work for me, when I tried to save the change from true to false it kept saying I had to replace an already existing file and when I said ok to that it said that access was denied
I'll try it, but i wont run it on max settings, i'll adjust it a bit so i can at least see Tera's beautiful landscape.
It worked but then once I restarted my client it no longer worked. What do I do?
When you open the client, Alt-Tab out and start Task Manager. Go over to processes, find TERA exe, right click>change priority>Above Normal or High.
This might help with it as it will put TERA in front of the line towards where your internet connection is going if I'm not mistaken :P
worked like a charm. thanks for the tip!
Did you try Computer>ProgramData>HappyCloud>Cache>Tera?
Hello, when I edit it, from TRUE to FALSE as you've advised. When I save it, it says, Access is denied. How to solve this?
Before opening the ini file, right-click on it and open as Administrator, this should fix your problem.
When I try to open what you're telling me to open it says access denied, and I right clicked it to try and run as admin, but there's no option to do that, just "open".
Very nice guide, really helped out a lot.
It wont let me save it brings up another folder to make me save it somewhere else like you clicked save and it saved it. Mine does not do that another window pops up for me but when i click save anyways its says Access denied and i can't run it under administrator when i right click it no option
when I change true to false it says that it can't find it
Can't find the folder anywhere on my computer only the Tera icon to launch straight forward do you where it could be hidden?
First of all: Man I love you!
Second: HOLY SHIT?! What an improvement! WTF?
Third: I know exactly what this lines of code are supposed to be doing. Someone clearly fucked up a debugger! Sabotage? WTF?!
Fourth: I love you! :D Thanks for serving so many people!
Nice vid. Butt when I'm on Tera I sometimes see people grey or creatures invisible. And only see there names?
What do I do?
Well didn't work for me,but what's the metal song at beggining , it lifts my spirit high up XD
Do you have to put the "Bindings=(Name="x",Command="fov 100")" under the line "bEnableMouseSmoothing=false" because I did it anyways.
In the client folder only appears an application caled "TL" :/ can you help me?
Thanks so far this worked great!
THIS SURE IS MAGIC.
Thank you so much!!!!!!
This modding of files basicly makes my resolution still say 1920x1080 but its noticably not, it basicly lowers the resolution of the engine considerably, might aswell lower it ingame
You should be able to find the path just by right-clicking your desktop Tera icon and selecting "open file path."
I made this change before--I thought--what a surprise it wasn't saved! When I play it tomorrow on my laptop, hopefully Tera won't overwrite the change.
When I first logged in my fps was 45 (its usally 30) but after some time its 30 again, and i'm getting LOTS of lag spikes
I can't find the smooth mouth thing thing
Best man!!! My FPS increased from 80 to 120 !! My biggest issue was to stay in areas with many other guys! Especially in Velika...now my FPS are fix and there is no problem anymore!!And to all with problems...either u did sth wrong or ur PC is bad :D
THANKS MATE!! :D
HELP I'm trying to save for the s1 input but its leads me to the "save as" and I try to replace the file but it said it can't do that so what do I do
Thanks so much! I knew my computer was capable of running this on max settings!!! :D
Thanks it worked :) i was wondering why i lagged on a 3,8 hexacore with the same videocard as you...and i have 16gb of ram. Now it runs perfect on highest settings.
you found any solutions on that? becouse its driveing me crazy..
Thank you sooo much. I was having the same problem thanks!!!
Doent work for me ... still the same FPS ..
Well.. I gotta say this didn't work at first.. I tried some other people suggested and notice no difference in town.

That's probably because you're running a 32bit OS, you nutter
he obviously hasnt windows 7 64-bit
go on program files then press T
Or you can search "run" and type this in there C:\ProgramData\HappyCloud\Cache\TERA. I've watched so many types of tutorials that i actually know how to do things differently now.
Thanks men, it's really works. Great tutorial!
Yeah no probz mate
wait so how do i edit it if tera doesnt work after i change it?????? plz help
TY SO MUCH worked good for me from 24 to a steady 54
Thank u kritzeh, this video helped me a lot and I see the difference! :D
Ty alooooot dude you are the best, even tho it have been 3 years still works ! your the man
When i open S1game it only shows default things nothing starting with s1
i apologise because its not relevant to the video but please can you tell me how to make that detailed map come up. i somehow closed mine and cant find how to bring it back up anywhere on the internet
Is your computer at min or recommended because it didn't work for me.
Hi, i saw the apple software update, do you have bootcamp?
I don't have the Happycloud file nor' do i have the TERA file in my program files. Help.
Just in the search bar type happycloud or Happycloud or TERA or Tera one of them should be the file

yea when i try to play this game i am running at about 17 fps on the char selection screen and about 11-12 fps in game?
I did this and got little to no changes. :c
Thnx so much! I couldnt even play untill now!
GTX770 here, 17 fps average. Overclocked my 1055t from 2.8ghz to 3.5ghz stable, but no help. Tera seems to have a huge problem with this card.
I'm guessing it won't work for everyone, but it did help for me. Framerate got like doubled. I can finally play battlegrounds with 15-40 fps now, although it's on the lowest settings, it's still better than 5-20 :)
It wont let me save the changes to either S1engine or S1input.. what do i do? It says "Access is denied"
Wow great thank you for this guide this one really works. Thumbsup
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE i can't find it on the text...
I followed with the video but it didnt work. the fps is the same. Very choppy like. Maybe it's the case sensitive part. How do you change that?
Hey friend, I looked into my TERA's folder and there's no one file called "s1engine.ini"...
What should I do? There are only files called "Default..." and other like this.
Can you help me? :/
Awesome, I also enabled vsync to get rid of the screen tearing. My specs are the same as yours expect I have an i5 not an i3.
Right click the TERA Icon Launcher select Properties select Open File Location.
Hey, I did everything in this video but I am still having game lag. My specs are: Intel i7 2630QM processor, 4 GB RAM and I have Intel (integrated) and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M video card. I thought it may be because of integrated graphics but it's the same with another one. I tried many methods, even at minimum requirements I have around 20 fps only.
Hey, thanks for video. Can you share your SonyVegas render settings? :3
I can't find the S1 Engine in side the configuration folder. Can anyone help?
I changed both files and still getting under 30 fps in low graphic mode idk what is going on here but I have a comp that more then meets the requirements of this game
also if i edit these files then start the game they resort back to the default
i only got trouble with the decomposing from mobs ( that red upfloating stuff ) any tips for that?
should i do this every time i try to log in or just 1 time ?
thanks man.works just fine.
hello ,.. is here any chance to run in in 800x600 mode ?? :/
I'm on Windows 8. Never tested Tera on windows 7 on my setup :
Intel Core2 Quad q6600@2.4GHz
8gig RAM
NVidia GTS250 1go
Yes, I do have lag spike. Velika used to hold me at 10 fps max. Sometime in battleground I get at 4-5 FPS.
But I never had "problems" with this. I still have enough FPS to be able to shoot, place traps, retreat...
I'm currently testing the change showed in this vid. It seems to helps. Won't be a migical cure, but I get better framerate than before.
Well this isn't exactly what I was looking for but I think it might be worth asking here. When I play I have alright frame rate but the mobs and other player's animations are all choppy. My own personal animations are fine. Any idea what this is?
it says for me "cannot find bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE"
no search for bSmoothFrameRate ONLY
Imyoutrout nvm
i dont have this archives ._.
I can't fine the TERA files either. (I'm running on window 8, not sure if that makes any difference)
Go To:
C:\ProgramData\HappyCloud\Cache\TERA
PS-it was in the description, but if it doesn't work then maybe redownload
You probably downloaded it via Happy Cloud streaming. I did this when I installed the game the first time. Try redownloading the client from the site, this time without Happy Cloud (which is a terrible program) and re install the game directly to your computer.
Thank you, I found the files and I kind of fixed the lags. My fps was 15 - 20 now it is 20- 30. Thank you again.
David Cheung i cannot find the Config ;( can someone help me please
Nice, worked for me!
Can u explain what are that options..i mean ehat they do?
I cant find my TERA folder. Any help?
Its cause u have it on steam u need to get tera independently
Jeremie Robert NVM. I found it under steam>steamapps>common>TERA
Nam Uchiha And 10.
+Jake-ジェイク if you dont find your "TERA" folder look after GameForge (programfiles 86x) first and click on the first and the first and the first folder till you will find the TERA folder
?? i dont have happycloud in programdata
When I use the button to auto detect the potential of the pc it says that I can play with the graphics settings to nearly full,so I think it's using the AMD and not the Intel...however I'll check better ^^
Well this did improve my framerate, but I'll still get lag spikes out of no where. Even though I have my graphic settings set to the lowest in game. I use a Nividia GT 325m graphic card, back when the game was in closed beta I never lagged at all. This sucks...
Can't find bEnableMouseSmoothing=true please help !
help theres no tera folder i download tera on steam
i save, but it changes back the values, probably the moment i launch game.
Your FPS looks around 30-40 and you calling it hight?
It's actually in the 60s and the only reason it looks anywhere near 30 is because all youtube videos are capped at 30fps.
50+ FPS is unnoticeable to the human eye.
Oh god, here we go. Humans don't see in FPS. No matter how high the frames go it's noticeable to anyone's eyes.
You obviously don't know anything about FPS or the Human eye.
If you're going to stand your ground claiming you know what you're talking about, i'd suggest making sure those facts are correct before hand.
I cant get the config file when I open up the client it gives me onlya thing called TL and I cant open that either help!!!
Is there any other way to solve the FPS problem? I did everything you said in the video include the one in the comment, my FPS is still around 5~13
Make sure Tera is set to open using your Radeon GPU and not your integrated intel GPU.
hey, everything runs smooth with my pc on highest settings, but i get this lag from time to time, im hitting some monster and for few seconds i get this lag spike, it gets me killed more often then i would want, do you know what might be the problem?
