Enhanced Video Settings

Description
EVS expands the graphics options with simple config changes.

Usage: open the video settings and try the new levels for the old options.

Features:
  • View distance goes up to 40,000m
  • shadow distance 3,000m (above ~500m will cause some glitching and a hit on performance)
  • Terrain detail Ultra+ (grass clutter renders further and distant terrain is more detailed. Setting overrides the vanilla limit on very high terrain view distance)
  • more particles.
  • higher resolution shadows (spectacular with high shadow distance)
  • lower/higher textures and object detail (not very noticeable effect, except in the low end)
  • better clouds (slightly more volume)
  • more dynamic lights (the vanilla limit is 16 lights, EVS uses the maximum hard-coded limit of 32)
  • More depth of field and sharpening (beyond reasonable levels)
  • Client-side only

Latest changelog:
August 31st 2018:
Forced Ultra+ terrain detail level is even more detailed.
Optimized, less jagged shadows.
Some slider limits adjusted.

Will you please update EVS to adapt ARMA3's recent video settings change (eg. add "Exreme"), to avoid confusion?:steamhappy:

Thanks for the mod :steamthumbsup:
Loading Enhanced Video Settings + CUP Terrains 2.0 Extended Grass Mod immediatley crashes Chernarus 2020. Took me quite a bit to narrow this down with aprox 100 active mods. Other terrains seem to work fine with both mods active. Hope this helps someone else.

@death2341 Client-side only, says that at the bottom of the Features list. :)

@Sams Hi! I wanted to ask you after the last BIS update, when the "Exreme" settings were added, is your mod still relevant? There may be a difference between the "Exreme" and "Super" settings that are in your mod. I wish I could understand.

Does this mod conflict with bad benson's midtex mod?

Ulta terain is now an option too with the update.

i believe this mod isnt redundant yet cus it has force ultra terrain and PP settings i think are better with the mod
