Minute 3:54 roads with dynamic puddles

Watch the video and compare the puddles. Currently I have static little puddles. In the video are extreme big puddles during rain. I dont like the word downgraded, but its a huge difference in the final game.
The game is great and the graphics are beautifull, but I hate it when features are deleted in the final game.

Answer and solution....

The feature was nit removed. The game effects for dynamic mud, puddles were only bad configured. So you need rain for many hours of real time. With tweaking of the gamefiles or useing this mod you get better results after a few minutes. Its amazing. Also there are no feeled performance issues. Not any FPS was lost for me.

So much thanks to gogame_leika to add this mod with the puddles from the beta and improvments for them.

I recommend this values in the mod file:
--Rain
r_RainOccluderSizeTreshold=10
wh_env_PuddleCreationDelay = 30
wh_env_PuddleCreationSpeed = 0.005
wh_env_PuddleDryupDelay = 100
wh_env_PuddleDryupSpeed = 0.005
wh_env_puddleMaskMin = 0
wh_env_puddleMaskMax = 0.9
wh_env_DirtCreationSpeed = 0.05
wh_env_DirtDryupSpeed = 0.0005
wh_env_RainDiffuseDarkening = 0.2

There's already a mod for the fog and I am sure there will be one for puddles as well. :)

The game is great and the graphics are beautifull, but I hate it when features are deleted in the final game. Many PC gamers have enough power for the game with all graphics feautures. there are also a lot of comparsion with the beta graphics and dynamic lights and shadows and vegetation.

False. There is an extreme rarity of gamers that can run this game on the highest settigns and utilize all features without running into issues. Not everyone runs SLI 1080 Ti and a top of the line Ryzen7 or i7. Quite a few do. A most common enthusiast setup would probably be 1070 and i5 x600K

You don't need to SLI 1080Ti's for Ultra lol

A fair number of PC gamers have a single one of those though. Enough the one I want is always out of stock, or the price is rammed up to $1600 for a single card from the arleady steep $1100-1200. Supplies not matching the demand as of yet.

I use a GTX1070 in 1440p with 40 to 50 Frames. Its mostly only a question about resolution and Anti Aliasing. Beta with more effects and much more vegetaion objects and shadows were also playable with 35 frames, but often I got framedrops for a seconds.

They had to cut some stuff to optimize the game since that video. Dynamic puddles were impacting performance greatly so they were cut.

in my opinion, to remove features is the last option every time. As I meantioned it, PC gamers need customiziation options to choose for them selve what they want to activate or not.

I do agree that it's pretty awful there's not puddle splashes, dirt kick up from footsteps or horse hooves. No children, no fog,(You have to turn it on with a cfg command) Just pretty underwhelming.

I'm glad you brought this up, I'd like to see the raindrops restored as well.

Yes, exactly. Like you, I'm getting good performance and the graphics are amazing. So I'm in the camp of looking for little changes that add [back] in certain graphic features that make it even more awesome.

If the hit it too high, I'll remove it of course.

I'm not too big on mods, but some--like the volumetric fog--are little options that can go in the user.cfg to turn them on and that mod-author was transparent enought to say so.

This customizability is a key advantage that the PC gaming platform has. Nice when it's available and transparent/documented.

I will speculatye out loud at this time that it is quite possible many features were cut before a hasty launch. The game rather obviousley did not get enough time in Beta. I do also think that these devs care and will in time (hopefully sooner than later) get things working as they intended. Meanwhile I am having far too much fun in this game given the current state of things. Though I arguably am having a far better time of things bug wise than most on here from what I have read too.

i think devs should leave options for pc. ultra should have features that are for future and not necessarily now its not suppose to run 60fps.

yes as JeL0sh mentioned these things are just disabled for some reason. I found the settings inside files and modified numbers of speed and dellay of effects. Not sure about density of vegetation. They seem to be there but not as many. Its the matter of finding right settings to tweak i guess.

Thx, about the vegetations. It looks like that they removed complete vegetations objects and replaced them with others.

the models are there i saw those models like in screens BUT. I dont think we can increase density of those. Those have to be painted in engine. the density has been decreased they painted it with less models thats why it looks so dead in forest. also if u want ur trees and leaves to be brighter like in the image its possible to do. Ill show it too.

I get fog and puddles just fine. The puddles even make a squishy noise when I stomp in them.

[JefferyNothing]

Yeah dont know what you're moaning about. These are in the game :/

Maybe they will add them again later down the line... the games release was not to good and performance was bad even on high end computers. Its still a very performance heavy game with optimisation and other issues. But Its playable and still very enjoyable and then theres the buggs and such technical issues to. It was not released ready but they have admitted to that and wished for that to not have been the case. I hope they can patch it upp properly and re add new effects like that and such... One thing that bothers me is that it rains much when theres no clouds in the sky at night.

There has been some vids on the volumetric fog effects. Using reshade on the game allows you to turn this on. It literally changes the entire look of the game.
