Description
EVS expands the graphics options with simple config changes.


This is an experimental mini-mod.
Some settings may not work or may cause issues.

Usage: open the video settings and try the new levels for the old options.

Features:
  • View distance goes up to 40,000m
  • shadow distance 3,000m (above ~500m will cause some glitching and a hit on performance)
  • Terrain detail Ultra+ (grass clutter renders further and distant terrain is more detailed. Setting overrides the vanilla limit on very high terrain view distance)
  • more particles.
  • higher resolution shadows (spectacular with high shadow distance)
  • lower/higher textures and object detail (not very noticeable effect, except in the low end)
  • better clouds (slightly more volume)
  • more dynamic lights (the vanilla limit is 16 lights, EVS uses the maximum hard-coded limit of 32)
  • More depth of field and sharpening (beyond reasonable levels)
  • Client-side only

Latest changelog:
August 31st 2018:
Forced Ultra+ terrain detail level is even more detailed.
Optimized, less jagged shadows.
Some slider limits adjusted.

Using the added above ultra settings may indeed degrade FPS.

That's a good point. Although I've always just assumed it was obvious because servers generally don't need to take player's personal settings into account.

@Sams, thank you! I am surprised that the question was not asked an answered already either here or in your BI Forums post. I recommend updating the mod description with the words "CLIENT-SIDE ONLY" at the top; that may encourage even wider adoption (dare I say, an extended view distance?).

Yes it's client side. The server only needs to allow using it.
Eutyches Aug 27 @ 6:32am 
I have the same clarifying question. This is client-side only, correct? Thank you for the great work, @Sams.

Does the server I'm joining require this mod as well?

Nevermind. I've figured it out.
