hey guys, ive been playing about 3 or 4 hours now and i gotta say its amazing... the details and everything look great, but i do not have a high specs laptop. im well aware im only going to be able to run it medium, which it predicted and set me for but in battles and just general travel im getting frame skips or something? could you guys suggest a few graphics settings to maybe tune that would really help the gameflow without making my game look like garbage? :/ any help greatly appreciated thank you!

there is apparently a way to set SHADOW detail level way down, which speeds up frame rate a lot, while not doing too much to video quality

i see, ill definitely have to try that then, thanks man. any other suggestions forum creatures?

Decrease Antialiasing. Or disable it and enable FXAA from the Advanced screen.

alrite will do, can i do that from the initial start up menu?

Set shadow to med and blur to low...

I can play with everything else maxed out (including render distances) AND with 4x AA / 16X Aniso on a 9800GTX. Landscape look gorgeous even at modest resolutions.
