Ultimate FoFiX Experience

Hey everyone!


This "tutorial," if you will, will show you how to get the best FoFiX experience. It will show you how to get the game to run really smooth, and still have heavy effects running at the same time. I personally have a bad graphics card, and I can get it to run at heavy settings really smooth. Here's how.


Note: You must download everything here or this will NOT work.



Required Stuff

FoFiX v. 3.121 (Installer)
Animated Stages Part 1 (Self-Extracting Archive)
Animated Stages Part 2 (Self-Extracting Archive) [Combine Part 1 and 2 in the same folder. Name the folder "animated stages" without the quotes.
Rock Band 2 Theme (Not What You Think It Is) Self-Extracting Archive----This theme has been heavily modified for this project only. Download for other use is ok.
Guitar Hero 5/Band Hero Behind Neck, With Rock Band 2 Overdrive String Flash Overlay



Now that you have downloaded everything required and installed it accordingly, we can begin.

First, open up FoFiX. You'll notice that it looks like I did nothing to change the theme. Go to your options.

Now, this may take a while, but change every setting in all options to what is listed below. Please note that some things may not change.

Now your settings are saved. FoFiX should restart now, and everything should go smoothly, unless you really messed something up. Go play a song. In game should look amazing with blues, reds, blacks, greens, and more, with FatDogs Knapman notes. The only thing is the loading time for a song. It should take a 45 seconds to a minute to load everything. If it says NOT RESPONDING, let it go. Thats a sign that it si loading. Trust me.
