Reflection Framerate customisation possibility?
Hi all,

I've been kinda lurking in the shadows following this game. I recently saw some 60fps footage on Gamersyde website and noticed "something" about the vehicle reflections.

Does anyone know what the refresh rate is on the in-game CAR reflections? It (at least to me) appears to be lower than the 60fps footage I was watching. It is possibly set to 30hz?

If so, this is understandable and common in games, however I was wondering if there were plans to maybe allow a Graphics Setting to let players chose the refresh cap to 60hz instead of 30hz?

Also the Reflections LOD pop-in was much more apparent in the reflections .... again for PC environment any plans to let to control this? I mean if it kills the framerate too much, players can drop it back down to whatever game performance they require?

An example vid of the geometry pop-in: (reflection on the bonnect/hood surface)

**Granted when you are actually playing the game and concentrating on the track, I'm sure its probably not noticeable for both the framerate and pop-in.**

(Btw, if I am wrong about ALL of this, then sorry all. Thus the question in the first place)

In reflection settings you can find these two things:
Quality - none (turns reflex off), low, medium, high.

Rendering frequency - static, very low, low, medium, high, very high, ultra.

So the rendering frequency is how much the reflections update according to the environment.

In the video.ini (configuration file), you encounter this:
[CUBEMAP]
SIZE=1024
FACES_PER_FRAME=4
FARPLANE=500

That's the setting for reflection: medium - high. For high-ultra it would be 2048 size and 6 faces per frame. Farplane remains at 500 but is also editable in the file and reacts in the game, haven't tested much with that, as high-ultra for my gpu really pushes it to the max.

Some lods transitions are more noticeable than others.
