I tried various config tweak "packages", eg config files with 50+ tweaks in them designed to maximize performance & graphics. I went back to my own settings of all-medium with 5 or 10 tweaks and think it looks best this way. I guess it's just like, your opinion man...
A lot of the tweaks and configs that people do, they have no clue what they really do. People where asking what this or that command does
r_usePOM=1
so he says "that command enables POM"
Oh really, wow what an expert!
There's only a few people who seem to really know what they are doing and have documented all the variables well and know how they affect things. Most just put random numbers in and make it look like crap.
Since Luxus Silentium didn't do anything for me, I'll just use my own Low and Medium settings, plus maybe 5-10 tweaks of my own that I know what they'll do. I don't think there's anyway I can use Medium Shaders unless I ran 800x600.
Agreed. About the only changes I made are the 1-2 base settings you need on high to enable sunshafts (medium's not enough, if you're curious I'll check which since I forget and reply later on), and then the sunshafts themselves. Because how friggin cool are sunshafts?
Edit: Oh and I -gotta- have HDR.
