Improving and optimizing shadows
In the upcoming update, Enlisted will become even better! Optimization will improve, a new setting will be added for powerful PC owners and it will become easier to understand what different graphics settings are doing!
These are not the only improvements on which we are focusing our work. In this devblog, we will show you the results of just one of our development teams.
Ultra quality shadows
We noticed that when the sun’s rays are almost parallel to the ground, there are so many shadow casters that on medium and even high shadow settings, level geometry was not rendered into cascade shadow maps to reduce the system load. In the comparison below, you can see how different this was in practice from what the game was trying to show you.
For players with powerful PCs, we’ll add an additional Ultra shadow setting. With it, you'll be able to fully enjoy detailed, high-quality shadows. Meanwhile, on medium and high settings, game optimization will be improved at the cost of disabling some visual shadow effects.
Tooltips for graphics settings
You can adjust various graphics settings to improve the visuals of the game. To help you better understand what each option affects, we have added tooltips for each graphics setting based on your feedback! This will be useful for both PC and console players. Check it out, commanders, you might learn something new!
