+ | {{ii}} If scenecomplexity/objects is too low players will not draw over a few hundred meters and buildings will change to a 2d model at a closer distance so you cannot see them or hear their shots. The recommended objects setting is high to very high (750k-1mil) outside towns and low to medium (250-500k) inside towns giving you a higher fps in towns and drawing players at a larger distance where it's needed. | ||
+ | {{ii}} The other values can be much lower for an additional fps increase, not much point in drawing anything outside 1000m. | ||
