I thought my post was pretty clear...I use the system.ovr file, but pressing PauseBreak doesn't display the in-game console.

would like to share this with you all: TweakGuides.com - Far Cry Tweak Guide

starting on page 7. It has a couple settings that haven't been mentioned that are good to adjust.

namely:
r_TexResolution= "0"
r_TexSkyResolution= "0"
r_TexBumpResolution= "0"
r_Quality_Bumpmapping= "3"

Was always disappointed with the skybox texture resolution before changing those. Now it's pretty.

Hey, wondering if anyone can tell me where to put these in my system.ovr file? I can't seem to get it working. Thanks.

[Valkya]

The console does appear for me but the fov or even the contrast command dosent anything for me.
The same happens with the sky settings in the system.ovr... dont do anything for me and looks bad like always.

[Instinct]

Anyone know the command to change the bloom effects? If I change it in-game, it'll change all my graphics to original.

This thread needs posted somewhere in HUGE writing. This has been the best thing I've found in Aion since I logged into the beta and tried it for the first time!

Here are a few quick screenshots while flying around Beluslan. A quick warning though, these are all at 5040x1050 so be prepared to scroll to see them properly.

THANK YOU to the OP for this and to everyone else who has helped test these settings, I owe you one.

I'll second that. Using an unencryptet unprotected network system where bot programs can access data packets even before the client and alter functions (seeing invisible players etc.) and then banning ppl for changing their clientside GFX would be pretty pathetic. Besides, if it wasnt specifically implemented no info about your clients settings are transimitted anyways.
And if they didn't want it to be used they could've just disabled the console.

@Azurian
Do teh batch files work now?

no, it copies the files, but doesn't change the settings correctly.
When trying to log in on Low-Spec, the game crashes when I try going on my character.

Thx for the guide :sparkles:

1. Remove the quotes (") from the the system.ovr file that has quotes around it. This is why that copy of the file isn't working.
2. Your other system.ovr file is labeled as a .txt file, which is why that one isn't working for you.

Did you really read through the entire first post of this thread? Doesn't seem like it tbh...

[Mashup]

The draw distance jumped by a ton, even from having Maximum everything before applying these new settings.

Eastern Shard


Sulfur Archipelago


Primum Fortress ~ Surprised to be able to see the throne room from all the way over here



Thank you to OP and everyone else who contributed. Made an already great looking game even better .)


Edit ~ Just flew way up directly above the fortress and I could see past the Eastern shard onto the next island despite being even farther away than my posted pictures. Insane.

I tried it with quotes and without, and having read through the first post, I noticed that Aleste had specifically mentioned quotes.

The second file is just there to show that I tried both versions of the file, .txt and otherwise.

I really have read through the first post multiple times and tried various things before posting here. I realize that it may not seem like that to you, but nevertheless I have. I am just trying to get some help here - if you can't or won't, please don't reply rather than constantly bashing me...realize that some people may have trouble getting things to work that you find simple.

I am disappointed in the replies to this thread to be honest - most of Aionsource is friendly and helpful, but these replies seem to be the exception.

I have finally gotten it to work as of today. Maybe I missed a step here or there, or thought I checked and still got something wrong - but whatever the case, that is no reason to assume that I didn't read through the posts.

[slashwrist]

anyone know which would be the command to disable "optimize char. details"? as for some reason that likes to reset itself to checked when I hit apply/ok, tried all kinds of fixes, everything else always saves.

[Dragonsbane777]

Question on this!

If I use a ovr file, and then while IG change something, does it overwrite other things?

Example - I have all these ovr settings to enable things showing far away. I see no way to enable bloom here in the ovr, so I use the graphics options IG. Does this suddenly apply all the other settings, like reducing the draw distances?

I ask because when I went to enable bloom, some of the sliders were not at max for things like distance even though they were set in the ovr to what is supposed to be more than max.

[Clanato]

Another great guide, thanks!

[Cervantez]

Yay, Anyone here with a beast pc uber max there settings an everything? I'd like a file just to see others compared to my own.:kiss:

[sparky1_2007]

Love the guide, got everything maxed on mine with fov set to 90 :)

btw, changing fov won't get me banned, right?

I have tried the settings guide and so far it's working great. I notice a small drop in FPS but nothing that affects my gameplay. However I've noticed one thing, and not being certain which setting it is that affects it I thought I'd ask. (Yes, I cheated and used one of the preset postings, not added everyline by itself).

At times it takes ages for mobs to appear. This goes for both npc and pc chars. At times I can even fight them, kill them and then I have to wait a while for the mobs to appear so I can loot them. (I can tab target them, I see them on my minimap, it's simply their images that don't appear on my screen.)

Any idea which setting I should tune down to sort this problem or is it more of a combination of too high settings? (And if so, any guides to which settings to start tuning?)

remove this:

e_obj_min_view_dist= "4096"


problem solved.
