📋 About This Mod
About
It started as a simple mod that allows you to change the graphic settings aiming to improve performance on old pcs, now it's becoming a full granular controler over all graphics configuration. Note: the default configuration has the standard values for the game. In order to see changes you have to manually alter the config file or download one of the config files in the files tab. This mod will override shadows, vSync and distance/lod options, use the config file to change these options instead of game menu.
These settings are experimental. There are a lot of settings and we don't have time to thoroughly test all of them. If you find something that doesn't work or have any suggestion please let us know.

[]The balanced config file is used to run the game on a GTX 650Ti at 30 fps (i lock the fps with vSync option) with some effects enabled. Shadows are disabled because they coust too much for my old GPU, but by enabling SSAO with some quality changes the game doesn't become too plain.

]The performance config is used to play the game on i5 intel graphics notebook at 30 fps (with some drops to 20). It's not perfect and the game is kinda ugly, but it's a miracle it runs at all.[]If you are here not to increase performance but give a boost on graphics you can just start the game to create the default config file and take a look at these settings: MaxFPS or vSyncCount, ShadowResolution, ShadowDistance, SunShaftsResolution, AOsampleCount and MBsampleCount.
