Is having Ultra low details mode possible?
Hi
I've been running for a while with these nice autoexec/videoconfig adjustment that allowed to go below fixed specs and to enjoy the game
(granted, I have a correct processor, 8Go RAM and a quick SSD to add virtual memory, and unhappily, an integrated "graphic card", emphasis on quotes).
The fact is the latest changes (while probably for preventing cheating and so on), prevent me to run by my previous settings (see below).
In these, there is nothing that could give me an unfair advantage*, it just allows me to play the game at enough fps for it to be sufficient for an FPS.
So, as you now prevent individual tweaks, could you please implement an "ultra low details" mode? It exists in some games and it is great (it usually includes settings for using more virtual memory and so on, and adjust streaming/preload parameters, and it makes a good job)
I could not care less about my antialiasing, shadows being realistics (or having shadows), reflection in my water, and high details for models at the resolution I need to run.
Since low details is LOD 0.6, could you please adapt the settings below to whatever you deem to be correct and not causing cheat,
and propose it as a game setting, so that for example, it would allow LOD 0.3 or 0.4? This setting was a great help, as disabling shadows and adjusting distance for level of details on the environment, fading and models. Also, could we use personalized resolutions? it is not possible to set resolution below 1280*720 or 1024*768, and that would help (1136*640, 1066*600, 800*600...)
I know this is much to ask, but a lot of players are in my case, and it would help not having to resort on special configurations and not having to mess with the game config files (indeed a better PC would be a better solution, but if it was an option, I would not write this).
With my previous settings I was handling 40-50 FPS in the open, 25-35 in fights, no stuttering except in the most dire situations. Today, it's more 30/15, and stuttering happens more easily.
Thanks
