Who else thinks turning off ambient occlusion makes the game better

[Ludeman]

So I read turning off ambient occlusion would help speed up the game. Not only did it do that, it IMHO makes the mechs look way better! That wierd outline shine thing is gone, they look crisp and cleaner now.

I hate the Ambient Occlusion effect in any game, by rule turn it off in everything.. Exacly for the "outline shine". Whoever thought the effect was necessary addition to graphics.. Geez.. When I look at things irl I don't see "shadow" around them, and shining outline between object and the shadow as anti-alising tries to decide where to work.. :/

I honesty couldn’t tell the difference graphics wise but performance wise it stopped causing my GPU to 100%

I turned it off and I do like the way my Mechs look

I'm playing at 1440 with low graphics settings on a laptop with Intel Integrated Iris, can't say I miss the shineys at all because I'm so absorbed in the game play.
