Low Graphic Setting Advantages?

[Nobelissimos]

How big of an advantage do players get for having almost all their settings set to the lowest to be able to see more? Games that allow this kind of stuff always really bother me because it feels like cheating.

Quite a bit. High settings will give you glare, blur the further you look, and grass all over. I don't know if they fixed it yet, but there's one map that encourages you to use the grass and corn fields to cover yourself. Difficult when low settings can turn off a lot of the grass and corn.

That's really unfortnate.

Only noticed the glare now, and on on map the sky was VERY bright it made it hard to see anything that wasn't the floor, had to turn HDR off to see.

that's PC gaming...
almost all games have this problem
in Verdun I got almost all setting set low because of fps, I have GTX960 and still got fps drops from 130+ till 20 fps, I haven't saw game that worked smove on Unity engine

Yeah , i dont get why some people lower settings just for a advantage. Its like lowering their potential lol i like a challenge, i want people to be hard to see in the bushes, makes it more fun. But when i crawl throgh the bush all sneaky like its pointless because these cucks can still see me.
Devs should lock these setting, and if someone with a crappy rig cant run it well to bad for them.
Same issue with Battlegrounds

i play on medium-high settings with reshade so i can clearly see much more without losing good graphics

[oochy_coo]

ahhh that explains it then - I was wondering why even when proning through bushes I was constantly getting sniped

all my settings are on high - theirs was obviously on low

so grassy/bushy headrows for me - some idiot crwling slowly in plain view for them

Im new at the game - I really like the gameplay but find the interface a bit weird/clunky/unituitive

but definately worth sticking with!


I also seem to have a problem with the friend list - 4 of us have this game but only 2 show up in my friend list? and i cant seem to find them to add them?
Any ideas on that?

I've just today turned most of my graphical settings to low, partly for performance (my FPS bounces from 50s-60s down to the teens, rendering issues yay), but partly to see if it would improve my gameplay.

While I enjoy the atmosphere of high settings, I didn't feel there was an appreciable decrease in aesthetics like there can be in other games.

Low graphic setting advantage? Ever play this game on the lowest settings? It looks like i'm on Playstation 1. Can't tell the difference between a grass blade and an enemy lol.

Mate I was playing on a way worse GPU and never had fps drops like that and still don't. Sounds like you got a devious Anti-virus or something.

Your Steam friends don't sync with the game lists, you will have to manually coordinate with the other two and join the same match or create* a squad together and join a match. Where then, you can right click (or left click, can't remember atm) on their name and hit the "friend" button from the scoreboard.

*Not sure but you may be able to "friend" them from the Create Squad lobby.
