Problem #1: How to increase the maximum FPS (framerate) from 30 to 60 when playing Transformers: War for Cybertron:

Possible Solution #1: (by CYBORG112 from the gamefaqs forums)
Most unreal engine games have this line in their config ini
[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62
MaxDeltaTime=0
Setting that to false should remove the Fps cap.

Problem #5: Can’t rebind / configure the keyboard or controller when playing Transformers: War for Cybertron PC :
Possible Solution #1: (by Pluberus from the Steam forums)
Here is a quick guide on customizable keys adapted from here:http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm
1. Download AutoHotKey for free.http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
2. Install AHK.
3. Open notepad.
4. Create a script (see below).
5. Save the script as “SOMENAME.ahk” - Make sure to change the “Save as type:” in Notepad to All Files before saving.
6. Double click the script to activate it.
To make the arrow keys function as WASD:
Code:
Up::w
Left::a
Down::s
Right::d
^!s::Suspend ; Press Ctrl+Alt+S to Suspend. Press it again to resume.
You can copy and paste the above code into notepad and save it as an AHK script. To customize your controls to your liking, just replace each key with your own. (I.e. to make a act as b, type a::b)
Using AHK with Multiple Programs:
(By Sora-Chan) For those of you who use AutoHotKeys for other things or for those of you who want to use it for multiple games but with different binds, here’s some code for you:
Code:
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 3 ; Need this to allow two key press threads to run at same time
#IfWinActive, Transformers: War for Cybertron ; The title of the Program's window
{
XButton1::F
}
This will make it so that it will switch to the binds for Cybertron when that window is active. If you want to use it for a different game or program, just replace “Transformers: War for Cybertron” with the window’s title.

For Reference
The variables for the mouse keys in AHK are:
LButton - Left mouse button
MButton - Middle mouse button
RButton - Right mouse button
XButton1 - Fourth mouse button
XButton2 - Fifth mouse button
So, to make the left mouse button act as the right button and vice versa, you would use:
Code:
LButton::RButton
RButton::LButton
The list of variables for various keys is here:http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

Sample Script:
Here is code to make “f” melee and “c” transform:
Code:
f::MButton
c::f
^!s::Suspend ; Press Ctrl+Alt+S to Suspend. Press it again to resume.
Code:
^!s::Suspend ; Press Ctrl+Alt+S to Suspend. Press it again to resume.
f::MButton ; "f" activates melee
LShift::f ; Left Shift activates transform
XButton1::LControl ; Mouse button 4 (forward?) activates ability
XButton2::LShift ; Mouse button 5 (backward?) activates 2nd ability
t::b ; "t" activates kill streakes
e::g ; "e" throws the grenade
q::e ; "q" is the use key
NOTES:
If you have UAC on: make sure to run Autohotkey.exe as an administrator in Vista and Windows 7 or the keys wont work in game.
Make sure, when writing your script, to use lowercase letters (Except when using the Mouse Button variables). For example, if you try this: F::S, it will not work. Use this instead: f::s.

                                                                 The issues maybe related to graphic cards or due to steam settings,but it varies from people to people.
Problem #10: Error logging in using existing account:
solution:Some misplaced script is prevnting existing steam users from logging into the official website of the game and the only workaround fix for this game is by going to activision site and register for another account.No other altenative fix for this currently.

2. Click “Redeem Code.”
3. Fill out the form to register a quick account OR on the top right, click “Log-In” if you already have an  ACTIVISION account. (It will fill the information in for you.) The account is used to hold all of your codes so you can look back at the code if you need it again.

Portforward these ports and you will be fine.
TCP/UDP 7000
TCP/UDP 6500
TCP/UDP 13000
Problem #13:Mouse Control fix:
Solution:
This happens when you port a game to PC and that too in hurry. Its not due to broken game, it just that developer forgot to change the mouse X-axis and Y-axis sensitivities while porting the game to PC, which is sad.
Problem #14:Game cras on Alt-Tab:
Solution: This game is based on Unreal 3 engine which considers Alt-tabbing to a poison and doing it will cause blackouts or even BSOD's.So if you have to do multitasking,then run the game in windowed mode.Or if you have downloaded the game from Steam, their is a tag “-noborder”, add it in setlaunch option for the game and see if that works.
Problem #15:30 FPS locked:
Solution: The game is programmed to work @ a fixed framerate of 30 by default.However due to additional graphical features  like motion blur and other properties a drop may be experienced.But with the patch being developed as we speak,things are expected to calm down.
Problem #16:Problem Loading The Game, Executing TWFC.exe
Solution:If on executing twfc.exe, the game doesn’t load, error message appears saying “TWFC.exe has encountered problem and needs to be closed”. Follow the procedure below to resolve the issue.
1. Restart computer, this may actually resolve the whole issue for some, if you aren’t that lucky, read on.
2. Go to Program Files/steam/SteamApps/common/transformers war for cybertron/binaries, right clicked on TWFC.exe and selected “run as administrator”. (Steam Users)
- Others go to game directory, right click on TWFC.exe and go to its properties, then click on compatibility tab and check “Run as Admin”.
Try executing the game now and it should work fine.
