I'm pretty sure that the setting you're talking about is dynamic lighting. It does so much impact on performance so you're just going to force some people to play with 15 FPS. Oh and it does not gives any real advantage.and certain settings are restricted to a minimum of Medium, to help to reduce exploits with people running on Low settings to gain an advantage.

Thank god i have some skills about reversing and ur restrictions hardly will be working.
Seriously? Students, people that have a family to support, mortgage/rent to pay, who lost their job, etc, etc, etc.Ipkiss wrote:how may one's financial situation be so desperate that he just cannot afford a rig able to run PR on max settings with at least 30 fps
But hardware is as cheap as dirt! As I said, average hardware. You don't need top-notch for PR. You can also buy used rigs at a price of bloody nothing. It's just funny. There are many ways to at least save up some cash for an upgrade over time or something like that. Also students can do part-time jobs, and someone who lost a job has to find a new one anyways so whats the point? I mean, if you like something and want something, you'll find a way. If not really, I guess, you'll come to the forums and say something like a person above.[R-DEV]AfterDune wrote:Seriously?

There are so many reasons why one can't afford a new rig.

The most amusing thing here is, I think sirfstar and most of people he is talking about can afford good rig but just don't bother.
Oh really? Without giving credit to the almighty, what would those be sirfstar?sirfstar wrote: Thank god i have some skills about reversing and ur restrictions hardly will be working.
Ipkiss still makes a good point. Players are locked into an ISP regardless of their income situation and their ping can impact their gameplay. I hope that we move beyond players with the ability to set their settings on 'looks like plastic'.[R-DEV]AfterDune wrote:Seriously?

wow, i never knew. I'm really happy that you guys care about such things.[R-DEV]Rudd wrote:it's more important to have medium effects to make smoke screens work at longer distances.
If they do have the money, but just don't bother, that's something different. If you have the money (more than enough of it, that is) and complain about things, you should just buy a new rig.Ipkiss wrote:But hardware is as cheap as dirt! As I said, average hardware.

Yup. And even if you do have the money for a computer you may be forced to get a computer that isnt so great. For example, me! I had to get a laptop for school that could last a long time on battery and be quiet, so i got a 1000 dollar HP laptop, not too great, but it does what i need it to do, plus gaming on low- med.'[R-DEV wrote:AfterDune;1887727']If they do have the money, but just don't bother, that's something different.

But still there are LOTS of people who really cannot afford to buy a new pc, even if it's a mid-range class or lower. It would be foolish to think everyone can afford it.
And make no mistake, getting a new job these days is easier said than done.

The only thing that low effect do is DISadvantage by not seeing explosions and not being able to adjust UGL shots for example, never had any issues with smoke.it's more important to have medium effects to make smoke screens work at longer distances.
Okay, but still I don't believe in these LOTS of people, I think their numbers are small. Most of PR players have PCs able to run it fairly well and I was surprised seeing that guy's post.'[R-DEV wrote:AfterDune;1887727']If they do have the money, but just don't bother, that's something different.

As long as textures can be set to low and effect on med then it should be fine, in my experience those are the 2 biggest lag makers.MineralWouter wrote:people always seem to think that the devs pull this stuff out of the blue just to make people annoyed. Me and others spend quite a few hours comparing graphic settings to see if they would be exploitable. What the dev team did is a result of that testing.
Yes we might have some players who will have trouble running the game smoothly, but this is the best solution IMO to make sure the game stays as much balanced and fair as they can make it.
Almost anyone. I would never even think to do any sort of thing.sirfstar wrote:anyone can make the smoke transparent with some bugs of BF2 and built-in ATI drivers features. So restricting any settings just does not makes any sense.
