Analyze This: Graphic Settings and UserOptions.ini -- Is Your Game Running Optimally?

I did notice slight performance increases when I had it turned down, though, so I imagine you will notice a decrease if it even lets you turn it up. Let us know if you try it out!

That setting is not in my useroptions.ini. Which means they have either taken it out or it is a Nvidia physx only setting (I'm on AMD). Editing it in did not do anything for my bullet hole distance rendering so I'm really curious what setting actually does. Not being able to properly test attachments has being one of my biggest annoyances so far.

It still works (as of GU10 at least), but I don't believe goes in by default. Are you sure you have it typed correctly? Just add it somewhere under [Rendering].

I added it like this with a zero value and it did absolutely nothing to my particle/bullet hole rendering:

[Rendering]
GraphicsQuality=3
TextureQuality=1
ShadowQuality=0
RenderDistance=3000.000000
Gamma=0.000000
MaximumFPS=120
UseLod0a=0
VSync=0
OverallQuality=-1
LightingQuality=3
FogShadowsEnable=0
EffectsQuality=3
TerrainQuality=3
FloraQuality=3
ModelQuality=3
ParticleLOD=2
MotionBlur=0
AO=0
ParticleDistanceScale=0

It's somewhat possible GU11 removed its usefulness, but try it with a value of 0.00001, as that's what I used to use.

I had forgot about the PhysX setting (have had it off for a while). Turned it on high to see what it did and looks great but not too long after playing with it on my FPS went to crap. Set it down to low and it still looks nice and is pretty stable.

[Terrain]
RenderFlora=Off

Mine always reverts to =On when I load the game? Any idea why?

Set ini to read only

Aye, is your useroptions.ini on read only? Make sure you uncheck that to save the change, then you can recheck it.

Also, your FloraQuality may have to be set to Off (which is now a value of "4" in the .ini) in order for it not to get turned back on.

Setting it to 0.0001 didn't do anything either. Does changing/adding this setting still work with you?

To nitpick, I used 0.000001 to preserve the same number of digits, but I doubt that matters. Maybe they disabled it, I'll go try!

[ItZMuRdA]

Yep, looks like it still works. I'll post a VOD of the stream after for you to see what I mean.

Interesting. Are there any other values where 4=OFF?

I don't think so. I think that happened with Flora because they added "Off" as a quality function in a later patch, post-release, so 4 was the unused number. Same like TextureQuality=0 is actually ultra for textures. There's some funky ones.

Here's the link to the vod:

I tested it at 0.000001 at the beginning. Starting at about 1 minute 30 seconds in the video.

Thks for the vid but I used exactly your setting and nothing happened on my end. Maybe it has something to do with other settings as well.

Question is: What max distance bullet hole rendering can you get with that setting? I'm standard on 40+ meters now. Not sure what to do to max it out but if it works on your end, maybe you can get a clue because believe me, this is a very important attachment test setting.

I've seen dozens of YouTube weapon reviews and guides over the course and so far no one has ever been able to properly analyze and demonstrate the effects of fwd grips and to a lesser extend compensators. Everybody is mostly in the blind with this.
