Quote:Tori's laptop has the slider turned all the way to the bottom, with Chacter Textures and Appearance turned to 100% and it runs around 15fps in crowded areas which is way better than we expected. I would recommend giving that a shot and seeing how it works if you're still up for it, GG.

P.S. Probably do a slew of updating in the next 36hrs or so when Open Beta ends.
The eye strain is actually from all the texture "popping" with settings turned down. Whole chunks of background will just pop in, characters, especially if they use the "armor" type clothing will come in as base sims then everything else pops onto them. That is where a lot of the issues are coming from. It's not that things look bad or that it's unplayable, it's that with how I process visual information, it just tires my eyes out quickly.
I tweaked some more stuff since my last post and I played for about an hour and a half continuous yesterday evening, but my eyes were unhappy after that time. There have been a few other games that did stuff like that to me as well. Dunno, I doubt I'll have any more time to test.
It played better than warhammer did on my system as far as smoothness and actual gameplay goes, it just has some visual issues that I need more time than I'll have with the open beta, to tweak before I can really evaluate it.
