I’m easily above normal specs for the game and even running with everything on lowest in 640 resolution i’m easily in a terrible fps range at all times with graphics looking worse then hl1 even with mipmaps forced to performance. Has anyone found any console commands to help out with the fps issues till its fixed? (Such as actually turning shadows off instead of medium)
Newest drivers and everything before anyone asks. Also wheres the screenshot folder located?
Disabling ambient occlusion in the advanced video settings menu? (Something I heard in a BRINK-related irc channel).
I disabled everything under there at the moment. Someone on steamforums found the main file that controls graphics.
Heres a config that may help for now for those experiencing lag.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\xxxx\xxxxx\local\base\brinkconfig.cfg
Pasting this over the contents of your brinkconfig.cfg may help but make sure to make a backup.

One thing that should bewould be a great patch change to help lower end systems would be allow r_skippostprocess 1 within multiplayer matches and solo as currently it can only be used on the charcter select. or make a button to turn post processing off.
If anyone has extra commands/tweaks to help make the game run better post here and ill add it to this config or post your own configs.
