Mist Survial better Graphics Guide

Here is my guide for a better gaming experience. I've improved quite a few things. And performance is also technically tested and constantly further developed.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬
What's new now:

➤ Texture streaming improved significantly, from 2 minutes after game start to 5-10 seconds (ssd).

➤ Clouds and Sky: Colors improved, more blue and not as gray. Clouds optimized in resolution. Look nicer and need less performance (distant clouds adjusted). True Sky activated.

➤ Water Flicker: Completely fixed by fixing the material reflection.

➤ Further lod adjustments and increases. Eg of buildings, Ai better lod, and details.

➤ Greatly increased grass distance, reduced density. no more popping.

➤ Cull distance increased, which means no more details popping up.

➤ Mesh distance from trees and bushes greatly increased, no more popping up.

➤ The performance in general should run better due to other minor optimizations such as lighting, grass and mesh adjustments in density. And other little things.

➤ Screen space reflexions optimized.

➤ Fog optimized in density and distance.

➤ Color adjustments and brightness optimized.

➤ Fov Optimized for smoother experience.

➤ Shadows optimized for better performance.

➤ Added Distance AO, the trees in the distance now look much better and not as bright anymore. Clearly visible in the 4 new screenshoots. I increased the fog density a bit.

The New Graphics

[Flashheart]

Out of date guide for a previous version of the game I believe.

[Draklamar]

This doesn't work for me at all due to the path Users/Name/AppData/Local/MistSurv/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/Engine
doesn't exist on my PC. I'm good till Local then after that nothing matches. I have also tried going thru my steam files and still nothing. Thanks for the help anyway.

[spawnersiak]

Dude... There's no folder like "windowsnoeditor" only "Windows" lol

[diegoschwarz]

I can't see the numbers on the lock to release the dog

[Flashheart]

@21Grams, where did you paste the config file? as the file location "windowsnoeditor" doesn't exist?

[21Grams]

Thank you, this fixed the "grass popping up 15 feet in front of me" issue that was driving me crazy.

[Flashheart]

I'm assuming this doesn't work anymore with new update, as the file location does not exist. No one has confirmed that this config can be made to work, but it keeps getting commented on, so the discussion stays current.

[Cpt. Raymond Holt]

I also don't see "windowsnoeditor" only "windows"

[Beatnbronco]

i don't see a "windownoeditor" file, only "crashreportclient" and "windows", if I click on "windows" it has nothing like what I see above in your post

[Lonnie aka-Rustyclaw]

Just CTRL C open notepad CTRL V
