Graphic options help plz

[Nic727]

Hi,

 

I would like to know what’s the difference between balanced, high and ultra?

 

the fact that I choose one and it doesn’t change other settings is very weird.

 

can you explain plz?

 

thx

Good question! Anyway, they made so many changes in the graphic options since last year (not only 3.001!),

but actually they never documented these options correctly in my view. And not all options are self-explanatory

by the way. It would be really nice, if all these options could be explained, what they are good for and when

they do make sense. Anyway, thanks to the ones who can clear this up.

unlike some other game, the bos preset are like hidden settings, it don t auto-choose settings on the right of the screen to fit your choice of preset, like total war series graphic panel does for example.

 

there is information  bellow about what presets are in game: ( note, the member Coconut did a mod to be able to change those setting in mod section of the forum, was made for clouds first but other settings can be edited too )

 

[preset=0]
//Textures settings
    Filter=3
    texmipdown=1
    land_textures=1

    reflection=2
    grass_quality=5

    landscape_parallax=0
    smooth_effects=false
    clouds_quality=2

    ssao_res=-1

[end]
