It seems to be different for some people, on my laptop that's really slow it was -2.000.

Default setting in my config file was 0.0000

In config.xml sofar I've seen it always set at 0.0000

I thought the default was -2.

The mipmapbias is set to 0 by default, raising it lowers the quality. Even with the game on all low I only push about 40-60 fps max, and in firefights it falls even lower (i ony have a 8800 so it's no surprise I can't max it, but most people have a even worse gpu than I do, so using the mipmap trick will definitely help them out a lot).

I'd suggest capping the frames at 60, lowering the shadow quality, and setting the mipmap bias to -1 or 0. All of the other graphics option should be left off, especially Lighting Effects. That option is the most poorly optimized. You might be able to get away with High Dynamic Range, or HDR for short.

With these settings you might run the game faster and still have a decent quality.

Np man glad it was helpful.

Im actually using 2.0 and everything off and it looks good still and runs great. thanks for the vids.

Well, if your hardware is too weak to run it then it's just too weak to run it :/ there's not much you can do. what are your pc specs?

Cool little setting but is there a better way to get better performance without making the game look this bad?

Currently trying to test the setting set to 1.0 or 2.0 since 10.0 makes it look really really bad.
