Graphic options

[waldov]

I know there has been a lot of talk about the new graphic restrictions in 1.0 but i couldn't actually find a thread about it so ive decided to make one.
Personally I love/hate it, i think its good that people cant see through vegetation and smoke etc. but now low end systems and laptops grind to a halt trying to play. Why cant some graphic options go lower? specifically view distance. Its more of a disadvantage lagging at 15fps then then not being able to see max distance. Anyone elses opinion?

It should be possible to atleast lower the lightning.

Yeah anything that doesn't give you a competitive advantage should have the option to be turned down, i cant really see why that wouldn't be possible and how that would affect anyone adversely.

I'm pretty sure the lighting has some effect on smoke screens. But the view distance I'm unsure of.

A low end computer has a bigger disadvantage lagging then it does having a little bit less view distance.

Before they added the view distance option it was laggy because I believe the default was 100%. I play on 65% and its fine now. Good FPS.

Yeah im glad they changed that.
