serb 54 Posted July 23, 2014 Best settings for better spoting players in forests? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted July 23, 2014 You have to set 'Anti-aliasing' to 'embarrassing', 'Shadows' to 'Full Cheat' and 'Texture Quality' to 'Being a wanker'.Also, moved. Don't do that again please, it is a weakness of the engine that certain will exploit.We are all "wankers" to some degree ! Bb 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted July 23, 2014 Honestly, if spotting players is your main issue, get out of the forest. But I don't know, I tend to like my game to look better, instead of being able to see things in the bushes more clearly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate towns, going there only for supplies, and spoting player before he spots you is good, you can decide to kill or run away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted July 23, 2014 Best post of the week.Bit crass though, and not at all helpful. I've reported myself for it and I'm not the only one.But I do feel that exploiting the video settings to murder people more efficiently goes against the 'spirit' of the game, and that, to me, is what makes this particular game special. Dayz is not about k/d ratio, it's not about 'winning' and it's not about any other kind of statistic that separates you from the experience, it's about "running-alone-in-the-woods, oh-so-scared my golly" and all the side stories that human interaction will create on that basis.But that is me, mileage may vary. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted July 23, 2014 Maximum settings all day, baby. I'd rather die in a beautiful environment than live in a pixelated one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) What's get me in woods is when foliage/trees go from low res to higher res as you get closer. I'd love to minimize that a bit effect a bit. I see in in a lot of people's youtube video and it's very distracting. Not sure what it's called - it's like pop in but not quite the same.

I see in in a lot of people's youtube video and it's very distracting. Not sure what it's called - it's like pop-up but not quite the same. It's a "pop in", lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not mind my game being ugly as sin but trees popping in and out of view is the most annoying thing because it makes the landscape look alive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
