New beta branch build with instanced rendering of vegetation
2020-06-24Hi, there is new beta branch build available. Change log: Running backwards is enabled Game engine is updated by one generation. So it's important to check if everything is working as before. Please let me know if you would find something strange. Vegetation rendering was replaced with new system in each map which uses instanced rendering and it will help eliminate hiccups when building grass patches around player. There are new graphics options for Grass Density, Vegetation Distance, Additional Tree Distance, Additional Billboard Distance. Which are adjusted automaticlaly with graphics preset slider. But you can still override them manually. Grass Density You can now adjust grass density dynamically. 100 is really only for ultra settings. 75 is nice and peformant. But if you have lower graphics you can lower it down to get much better performance. Vegetation Distance
