SoD Graphics Config (Performance and Quality fixes) UPDATED

[Warhead Killor]

Hello everyone. For the past 2 days I've been digging around in the configs making various tweaks to all the of low,medium,high,ultra specs and I feel like I've hit the point where I can release it and it would be a benefit for all.

What does it exactly do?

It changes the default State of Decay graphics presets in the menu to suit a wide variety of PC's. For you low-end laptop users, the low spec has been retooled to bring lower texture quality and shadow quality, making the game naturally run better. For you power gaming enthusiasts, I've pushed the detail distance higher and bumped the shadow resolution, as well as force texture filtering to 16.

Where can I download? (Updated 6/27/2014 at 3PM PST)

The new version of the config packs comes in 4 different flavours. The choices only affect the low/medium spec settings, so if you aren't having trouble running the game, pick any that I don't have marked as 'lowres'

If you encounter issues accessing the downloads (like it loads the front page), right click and select "Copy Link Address" and paste into your favorite web browser.

It'll look something like this: http://puu.sh/9MYtp/3841fa5784.png

Start up the game, and change your graphics accordingly.

Like what you see here and want to support me?

I'm currently developing a puzzle game in the Unreal Engine that right now is in the concept section on Greenlight. If you like the config patch I created here, be sure to stop by and give me some feedback on the game that I'm creating.

So this will make ultra look better ?

[Warhead Killor]

Ultra will look potentially better, I can't say for sure since Ultra for me doesn't run all that great so I don't do much testing for it as a result.

If you can give me a pic on what's wrong with it I can look into it. I have experience with the CryEngine and I know how to get into the UI stuff so I can take a look.

Does this by any chance fix mouse jump?

No, this only effects the 4 graphic presets in the menus. Sorry.

Well it doesn't support16:10 at the moment, and my monitor sadly is only 1440x900 so if I try 1080p or 2160p a large chunk of the screen disappears on the right and bottom. Can only play in 720p and I'm supersampling etc. with Nvidia and I can't even tell because it's so blurry. :(

Ah, shame. Thanks though should help some preformance issues.

I had an idea. So I added some resolution parameters to one of the configs and when I changed graphic specs it changed the resolution to match 1440x900.

I think some of the ui text leaks off screen (but it does that for me with 1080p anyways) but is that considered a fix?

Perhaps something got messed, I'll make a .rar one as well.

EDIT: But I've discovered 7zip doesn't do that, try and redownload the zip. I'll put up a 7z version

I think it leaks off screen if the internal resolution is higher than your monitors, although I'm not sure. I'm going to test it anyway tomorrow, thank you. :D
