Main post 1 update

05.10.2013 - UPDATE:

No package for now. There MAY be one again in the future.

For those of you who want to do some tweaking, you may try this user.cfg with attributes.xml all appropriate values set to 0 EXCEPT postAA (your choice) and set postprocessing to 1.

fov is your choice as well.

This may give you a massive boost in graphical fidelity on high end rigs.

Thank you. Tried it out and it does feel more crisp.

Never played with the attributes.xml These are the values you are referring to right? Once changed the sliders in game are displaying all low.

Interested in any updates you may come across on dof and film grain. Soon as grain is gone get the sweetfx running again.

Thanks

[Corvus Antaka]

Don't use sweetfx. it violates the TOS.

[Ellenai]

Pls paste ATI attributes.xml .. and what i need to do to improove some colors .. after few patches i cant see a sh*t in distance.

[Corvus Antaka]

no user.cfg for now.

Setting attributes.xml to 0 reset the entire attributes.xml file, wiping all keybinds & config settings from graphics without giving options for this.

Be careful, and backup your attributes.xml first before attempting user.cfg changes.

I dont know anything about that. I just mean that user.cfg works.

I reinstalled the game yesterday because the patch update didnt work for me. I then put a user.cfg file in Mechwarrior folder and the settings applied.

[ATao]

Anyone else got their game darker after last patch?

Much darker. 'Crisper' or something too though.

[ATao]

Fixed things a bit by bumping gamma from 0.5 to 0.7. Any thoughts on what they did with graphic settings? Any way to revert things without touching gamma?

yea i feel like the game's visuals have been crushed, I love this gfx mod and now its been taken away from me I will try the gamma adjust now. Otherwise i will see what other people come up with.

Btw I cant find this mod on Terra's website anymore.

[Corvus Antaka]

The user.cfg package has been updated for both high and low end specs.

link to the new file is here

[Shamous13]

Thanks for all of the work, I'll try these tonight.

[FlareHeart Devalis]

These files contain information and steps for removing the film grain effect, does that still work? I had heard the capability to disable film grain had been removed.

[RichAC]

I heard people could use the user.cfg to see further with heatvision. If this is true, its cheating...

I heard that if you wish really really hard you get $1million and a p o r n star to service you!

Test the .cfg

dont spread rumours

I'm assuming you think its not possible? Is that what your saying here?

ok I'm going to stop this right here. PGI is well aware of what exactly my cfg files do, and knows what is in the package. nothing in the provided package is against the TOS, and if there is a problem, PGI will tell me and the files will be removed.

You are free to use them or not. nothing in the files is any better than what you can achieve with the ingame sliders for visibility, and the only thing the settings do is optimize the various settings for users to up FPS somewhat or improve visual quality in general.

You can not see mechs further, or better.

If you have "issues" or you disagree, then please email support@mwomercs.com .

I'm just sincerelyl asking if its possibe. The fact it seems people are so offended and giving me hostile replies makes me wonder though.

I'm not implying anything is in your package. I overheard a player in my unit, that I just quit today, telling another player that it is possible to increase heatvision distance with a user.cfg file. And i'm just sincerely curious if this is possible.

He says he found it on the forums and i was calling him a cheater. Especially since PGI limited the view to ensure more fair play and prevnt abuse of heatvision.

I quit the unit because they all sync drop all the time which I also think is cheating.
He feels it is not cheating, because PGI allows for users to edit the user.cfg file in the first place. I say hes wrong. What are your thoughts on this?

Maybe I should have a made a seperate thread instead of posting in here. My apologies.

Edited by RichAC, 23 January 2014 - 07:55 PM.

[Corvus Antaka]

Yeah RichAC, I just dont feel that we need to clutter this thread with a debate over this.

heatvision increases & other adjustments that violate the TOS if they even still work (unlikely) will hopefully get locked by PGI soon enough.

Nothing in these files is a problem, and if it is then it will be adjusted accordingly.
