Re: Texture Streaming Budget keeps setting to low 2-3GB

Got it, thanks!

Are you able to change the value for the Texture Streaming Budget from the video config file at all? You should be able to find the videoconfig.txt file at: 

C:\Users\[Your User Name]\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local 

Once you have the file open look for the "setting.stream_memory" value. The value for Very Low should be 160000, and Low would be 300000, so if it's defaulting to either of those settings you should see one of those two numbers. Can you try manually adjusting that value to see if it allows the settings to stay changed in-game? 

Let me know how it goes when you've had a chance to try it out.

    @EA_Kent  I triyed that but when I open the game, the setting is in low, and when I check the settings file, it changed to "400000".

    @EA_Kent  My results are the same as @Faraday64. The "setting.stream_memory" variable is 400000, (not 300000 or 160000).


    Strangely, the changed setting seemed to only be written to the settings file after opening the settings menu, (let me explain). Having played a game where I noticed the low texture budget, I opened the settings file (videoconfig.txt) in Np++, but the stream memory setting still showed 2000000 (what is apparently the "High (6 GB)" texture streaming setting). When I alt-tabbed back into Apex and opened the settings menu, however, it showed "Low (2-3 GB)" for the texture streaming setting and Np++ prompted me that the file had changed on disk (and to reload). Upon reloading the file it showed 400000.
