Full screen on 16:9 resolutions
I've been playing this game for a while, but the performance is a bit laggy which becomes annoying at some locations. I tried different resolutions on a 16:9 ratio on fullscreen. They worked only a short while and the lower the resolution the better. I tried a custom 16:9 resolution in my ini files, but end up crashing before it loads. Is there a way to use a low custom 16:9 resolution on FULLSCREEN on my game? Also, my lowest on the game launcher is 1280 x 720.

Try 1024x576 as it is a true 16:9 resolution, no floating point, anyway try lowering shadow distance and object settings, they made me go from 77 to 120 fps and i couldnt be happier, character runs faster though. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game engine.

Thanks, and can you also recommend me on the shadow distance and object settings?

If I may pop in, I found that 1600x900 (actual 16:9 resolution) works best, especially for mid-range hardware. As I usually run mid-range hardware (every time I upgrade), I find it's a good 'sweet spot' for me, personally, as well. If you have lower-end hardware, 720p or what Volvo said works too, using 576p.

If I may comment on the Distance Settings. Shadows are particularly demanding, so I like to set a far Distance but a low DIRectional for Shadows - this way, I see shadows far away, and they look good up close as well. I use Bilago's configurator to set Distance at like 14000 (High) then the DIRrectional/Close/Detail at like 6000 (Low x 2) - be sure to set the fading distance (LOD) high, as in 800 or 900, so there isn't that "line" where the detail changes. A high LOD setting makes the shadows fade slowly over the distance, instead of having an obvious line where it goes from "crappy" to "good" so quickly.

NVIDIA Optimized Settings have a Low Grass setting, but all other Details on Ultra (for my GTX 1060), so I'd lower Grass for sure, but try the other ones higher and see if it works for you. HTH

Btw, I'm looking for low 16:9 resolutions to put on FULLSCREEN when the game launches, right around 800 x 450 to 1024 x 576. And pls tell me how to do it! SEriously, tell me any resoultions I can put on FullScreen lower than 1280 x 720!
