The primary reason an advanced options subset is needed

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 3:58 am

Sorry if it's a re-post, but I can't stress it more.

Hardware variation is a given for rig diversity, people have different monitors, GPUs, processors, RAM. Allowing an advanced config in-game for the system settings that are accessible via console would allow players to better tailor their game to their machine. While a one-size-fits-all option works for homogenized games systems, it doesn't work when hardware is diverse.

The options for configuration that are needed in the GUI.
(Basically everything that is found in wasdie's config setup)
    -Bloom
    -FOV - up to 90 (anything after that becomes quite distorted, first person models especially)
    -HDR Level
    -Anisotropic/Bilinear/Trilinear (though the two former are rather outdated)
    -Texture
    -Shaders
    -Physics
    -Particles
    -Effects
    -Post-Processing
    -Objects
    -Shaders
    -Sound
    -Water
    -VSync (toggle)
    -SSAO
    -Shadows
    -Color Grading

Also: Please fix the bloom on the daytime skyboxes. They're atrociously bright.

Regards,
Vask

You can use the Crysis 2 Advanced Graphics Options program, does the same thing just not within the actual game

I'm not entirely certain myself. I do know that I can use the wasdie config options. Yeah, that's obvious, but it'd be soooo much more convenient and appropriate if the devs themselves did it.

Why should someone have to download and use a third party exe just to adjust their graphics?

There are a 100 good quality free mods out there that have more graphics options then this so called AAA quality product.
