Hey guys I have a little problem and was wondering if u're having the same one.

my pc is

i5 2,5k 4x3,3ghz

gtx 570 msi twin frozr 3

4 gb ddr3 1600

i use the highest quality settings and I always have 60 fps but when I ride a horse I can see land loading or changeing, u know suddenly a tree or a rock appears which kinda doesnt look good, here are 2 example screens.

 

look how the rocks shift in middle left section of the pic

i don't have it unlocked yet but you can try double/trippling these lod values.

[fafor]

i will try in a moment, also have you found any ideas how to kill mammoth or a giant? or you just require a higher level?

 

 

edit: i multiplied different number but i did not see any changes at all

Great work! Kudos.

[Bloodinfested]

Im thinking fGrassStartFadeDistance at 10000.0 or 12000.0

Long lists of tweaks, I might be able to come up with something. Edited November 11, 2011 by DarthVue

Unlike most games where you can’t tweak much of nothing so your stuck with what you buy, tes you can so if its all ready there why not use it!

Anyone tried upping the shadow resolution? See if that helps with some of the jaggedness? Not trying to complain, just curious.
