About This Mod/Fix
In «AweBag» I Try to Restore Everything that was Removed or Disabled in Release version and Fix Various Issues.
This is a «Pre‑Release», so Some Things may Not Work Correctly.
Testing and Working is Frozen...
Hi! In this Mod/Fix, I tried to Restore Absolutely EVERYTHING! But I Stumbled Over My Own Ambitions....
If You Have Strength and Desire, You Can Fix What I Couldn’t….
Known Issues:
· When Opening Profiler, DoF Temporarily Disappears and then Suddenly Returns.
· Maybe some "Crazy Shadows" from Trees, idk...
· I Don't Like DoF While Driving.
· When SuperSampling is Enabled: Profiler's Interface, CCTV Cameras, and Dynamic Headlight Shadows Break.
· Backup Recommended.
Note: TXAA is Disabled by Design due to a Number of Conflicts.
