Will you please update EVS to adapt ARMA3's recent video settings change (eg. add "Exreme"), to avoid confusion?:steamhappy:

Thanks for the mod :steamthumbsup:
Loading Enhanced Video Settings + CUP Terrains 2.0 Extended Grass Mod immediatley crashes Chernarus 2020. Took me quite a bit to narrow this down with aprox 100 active mods. Other terrains seem to work fine with both mods active. Hope this helps someone else.

@death2341 Client-side only, says that at the bottom of the Features list. :)
death2341 Apr 22, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
is this mod clientside or server side?

@Sams Hi! I wanted to ask you after the last BIS update, when the "Exreme" settings were added, is your mod still relevant? There may be a difference between the "Exreme" and "Super" settings that are in your mod. I wish I could understand.

Does this mod conflict with bad benson's midtex mod?
ANZACSAS Steven Sep 27, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
Ulta terain is now an option too with the update.

i believe this mod isnt redundant yet cus it has force ultra terrain and PP settings i think are better with the mod
Gunnodayak Sep 5, 2023 @ 8:31am 
I guess so.
lem0nium Sep 5, 2023 @ 7:31am 
So is this now redundant after the new update?

Where do i go to see the new options? I have the mod on, but i still see the same options as before.

Hey Sams. I love your mod, but I ran into a game-breaker. In the Cold War Crisis missions 'Night Patrol,' the mission crashes right after the initial cutscene. I have disabled every other mod but yours (and the required mods for CWR).

As a boomer low-spec gamer, the game is now smoother than my ass, thank you comrade
colereese0305 Nov 2, 2022 @ 11:46am 
ok, thx! i installed it last night and great job on the mod!
Sams  [author] Oct 31, 2022 @ 12:07pm 
First subscribe the mod here, then enable it in the launcher before starting the game.
colereese0305 Oct 31, 2022 @ 11:55am 
How do i install it
Damien Sep 13, 2022 @ 5:23am 
I am not seeing any real difference. I choose the highest values too.
Window 10 x64, Rtx 1070 ti ftw ultra, 32 gb system memory, all ssd's.
System and drivers are up to date. No other video mods.

Never mind it's working now!
nanner Aug 24, 2022 @ 9:52am 
That explains why I saw little to no difference when DLE was enabled.

Thank you! I will update the mod list to remove the redundancy.
Sams  [author] Aug 24, 2022 @ 9:10am 
Hey Knightin, thanks for the feature, looks good! :)

By the way, "The Dynamic Lights Extended" and my mod do the same thing for the number of dynamic lights, but both are now obsolete in that regard. The vanilla number on the highest setting was changed to 32 some time ago.
nanner Aug 24, 2022 @ 7:44am 
Here's a more full feature of your mod: https://youtu.be/qflbUERwvec
nanner Aug 7, 2022 @ 1:54pm 
Thanks! I featured this mod in a couple of videos, including this one https://youtu.be/asK6B6Im4LE

Everyone can access your mod from the video via a link to the Steam Workshop.
Horsemen Juan Aug 5, 2022 @ 8:54pm 
hmm, its not working i tried no mods, (just this EVS) there arent super low textures
Sams  [author] Jul 25, 2022 @ 8:24am 
Yes, FPS.
Operator_Beo Jul 25, 2022 @ 6:34am 
fps?
Horsemen Juan Jul 24, 2022 @ 3:34am 
alright thanks prob my RHS
Sams  [author] Jul 24, 2022 @ 1:55am 
It might be some other mod somehow conflicting with the textures setting. It works on my end without other mods, and the effect is very clear, unlike the super high settings is some situations.
Horsemen Juan Jul 23, 2022 @ 6:45am 
doesnt work i mean
Sams  [author] Jul 23, 2022 @ 6:35am 
Horsemen Juan velk.ca, yes there's super low textures. Or do you mean it doesn't work for you?
Horsemen Juan Jul 23, 2022 @ 4:39am 
Hey Sams, is the texture cant get super low or something?
Sams  [author] Jul 19, 2022 @ 9:47pm 
Woolly Bruh, that can't happen without some mod adding them to your game. If they're the exact same options as in this mod, somebody has probably ripped the mod and added into theirs.
Woolly Bruh Jul 19, 2022 @ 7:49pm 
for some reason the video options appear even though im not currently subscribed to the mod
Beanbag Enthusiast Jul 26, 2021 @ 12:13am 
Yeah ofc, they need their keys placed and enabled via the server files. That's why I was asking, I thought this is some sort of a special fix for the game that works all over the place.

Thank you anyways <3
Sams  [author] Jul 25, 2021 @ 11:31pm 
I'm not an expert on this, but to my understanding all mods need to be specifically allowed on the server. There are no mods that you can use on any server. I highly doubt this mod is enabled on official servers.
Beanbag Enthusiast Jul 25, 2021 @ 10:49pm 
Great mod, but can it be used on Official server and/or servers that don't accept other mods?
tulsa1990 Jul 20, 2021 @ 2:47pm 
Ok, thanks!
Sams  [author] Jul 20, 2021 @ 10:20am 
The mod uses the vanilla configuration. If you load the game without it, the game automatically changes the settings to the closest vanilla values. This doesn't cause any problems as far as I know.
tulsa1990 Jul 20, 2021 @ 9:43am 
Does this mod write to the vanilla configuration file, or does it use a custom one? I’m worred about possible issues that could arise from turning the mod off but forgeting to put my settings back to default values.
Predator14 Jun 19, 2021 @ 3:10pm 
do you know about it? the devs for update 2.06 will change the dynamic light shade from 16 to 36! all thanks to your mod which helped them! UNBELIEVABLE
Sams  [author] May 23, 2021 @ 10:22am 
You're right, it's pretty much what's stated in the description.
Although you can't achieve the same with cfg changes as the they're reset to the maximum available values on restart.
BuddyBubble May 23, 2021 @ 7:36am 
The idea behind the mod is actually very nice, to make an old graphic look nicer on modern computers. However, this is very minimal. Even the comparison images show at most an improvement in the shadows. These can be set very widely, which is more "realistic" but costs performance. However, only engine performance, fewer FPS were displayed, but nothing has changed in terms of the load on the GPU / CPU. The distance of the LOD is limited by the engine, so that beyond a certain distance definitely nothing is displayed anymore, nothing has changed for me even on the extra steps.
The bottom line is that this mod (unfortunately) only brings something in the shadow display and up to the LOD border a little more grass. (You can also see on the comparison pictures)
Maybe someone can say the relevant numbers for the .cfg file, just change it there, otherwise, after countless hours of testing the improvement of the graphics, it remains to say, The Arma engine is just not good.
Caxton Gibbet May 21, 2021 @ 3:25pm 
Thank you for this.
Just being able to set objects to "lowest" has completely change the whole game experience for me. Any difference in graphic and model quality isn't even noticeable, and it just runs so much better.:steamhappy:
MrSand Apr 12, 2021 @ 12:34am 
I don't know but I believe this mod is crashing my pc like hard locking it not sure anyone else having issues
Sams  [author] Mar 15, 2021 @ 8:28am 
Servers dictate which mods are allowed to played with. This mod hasn't changed in a while, so it must be server that doesn't allow it anymore.
