why bother playing it then , its a fun game not competitive , without the fog of war , there is no point to it....

lol, simpleitems. all of the icons would be machinegun :D

When I played the Beta and tried RivaTuner with LOD Bias Adjustment it didn't made any effect on the game. I take it because of the engine and not outdated version of RivaTuner ( I still use older drivers because of my CRT ). Anyway in theory it should have ended looking something like this.

Battlefield 3 isn't as fun as people make it out to be. More of a hype booster. But I'm sure RayTheNoob will be here to challenge my logic any moment. The best thing I would suggest is to wait for a config tool like they released for Crysis 2, which made hell of a difference to the gameplay.

If you need the game to look like that then you're fucking bad.

Nope

The only reason to play Crysis is for the graphics.

But that's not true for Quake? What's the logic, here.

Really? Really? Okay... the game is set in realistic environments with the intent for parts of those environments, such as foliage, to be a part of the gameplay, not to be removed by a minority of players seeking advantages over their opponents. I'm honestly amazed you'd need that explained.

You're partly right, i didn't notice that the foliage and other stuff has been removed (or rather made transparent, from the looks of it), that in itself is borderline wallhacking. I wrote that under the assumption you were talking about making the graphics extremely simplistic to improve the visibility.

what i thought, those games only got settings like low-ultra... u cant tweak it in numbers, isnt there a console and cvars? maybe they are locked for online?

you can download latest last night release of skilth for quakewars. fixed all the skins and has new settings all around + linux drivers "libraries"

GDF vs GDF

make some custom skin packs and allows climate skins with climate "" set in map info file.....

then you all makes 1000s of good maps that are nothing todo with the strogg

there is a console but i havent tried anything in it besides render.drawfps 1

other than that, maybe u can read the following page to see which settings help with framerate and wich dont:

lol, the game is meant to be an even platform so theres barely any tweaking that can be done outside of the video settings in the menu.

Most of the console commands are blocked and there is no way to kill graphics like with the quake engine.

a few ones are working tho, create a user.cfg file in your bf3.exe folder and paste this:

WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapEnable 0
RenderDevice.TrippleBufferingEnable 0
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 0
WorldRender.FxaaEnable 0
WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0

this should grant you like 20 fps, which is better than nothing...
