Its just so depressing to turn them off in total. Without them the landscape looks really really empty
Anyway since they are bugged since the last beta anyway (sometimes they are there, sometimes they only appear in close distance to your plane, you know what i mean) I can bear this a little more easy
at least for the time of this beta.
I just hope that there is a solution for the tree performance (and collision) somewhere/somehow/sometime soon
I mean I wouldnt mind turning some other details down a little bit to get the trees back in the game, but it doesn't really help. They are THE major slowdown in terms of stutters.... as I said in terms of fps I am quite satisfied
If you look at SG1_Luds and my specs it is obvious that this isn't hardware related... i thought at first that this could be related to my GPU (Ati 6870 1Gb)but if you look at Luds beast of a GPU (Ati 7970 3gb VRam) it seems clear that its a problem of optimizing.... or the trees are just sh*t in general
