Hi!

If you opt in the unstable branch you can now test some experimental settings for lower end machines.

The recommended setting for low end machines is now as follows:

Startup dialog:

  • View distance: Very low or Low

  • Shaders: Low (Disables SSAO and other edge enhancements. Disables shadow filtering)

  • Virtual resolution: Low (Renders the 3d view at a lower resolution. Hud and inventory is rendered at full resolution)

  • World detail: Low

  • Foliage quality: Low

  • Water quality: Low

  • Surface quality: High

  • V-Sync: On (Should be on for any configuration)

In game options:

  • Blur shadows: Off

  • Post processing: Off

Full list of changes in this update:
