I'm trying to make sense of the grahpics.lua file to extract maximum performance for VR. My hunch is that there are a number of things going on that we can control that will affect the frame rates and that the key to extracting those frames are in that LUA file.
However, the values in the file are somewhat confusing since there are settings for low, medium, high, ultra and extreme settings; guessing they correspond to the Complexity setting in the graphics menu. Since I am in the dark here for the most part, and others may be as well, perhaps those among us who know more can help.
Thanks in advance!
NB - the file in question is located in the \...\Config\ folder.
Here's a sample from the file:
Camera =
{
Low =
{
near_clip = 0.02;
far_clip = 150000;
structures = {100, 12000};
trees = {1000, 1500}; -- looks to be obsolete
dynamic = {300, 12000};
dynamic2 = {300, 12000,0.5};
objects = {3000, 80000};
mirage = {3000, 20000};
surface = {20000, 80000};
lights = {200, 40000};
districtobjects = {400, 400};
districts = {3000, 3000}; -- changed from 8000 to 3000
lodMult = 1.0;
lodAdd = 0;
};I use Notepad++ to edit this type of file.
Other files to be considered for "possible adjustment":
\...\Config\Effects\shadows.lua
