after selecting “Options” from the main game menu, you will see a window where you can configure the performance of the game, and adjust the graphics and sound settings .
Contents
General[edit]
Show introduction video[edit]
Show or hide the logos and games developer movies when the game is being loaded .
Invert mouse on the X-axis[edit]
This options enables you to reverse the motion indication by horizontal mouse movement .
Invert mouse on the y-axis[edit]
This options enables you to reverse the motion indication by vertical mouse movement .
mouse sensitivity[edit]
This increases the speed of camera movements, and the speed with which the cursor moves .
Graphics[edit]
resolution[edit]
The best quality visual display is provided on the “native” resolution of your monitor . resolution affects the speed of the game slightly . Screen refresh rate determines the refresh rate of your monitor .
Combat animation Speed[edit]
The speed at which creatures move during battle . The cinematic camera shows attacks in powerful detail .
view distance[edit]
determines the distance at which objects and landscape are visible . The smaller the distance, the better the performance .
water quality[edit]
changes the visual quality of water . high quality lowers performance .
anisotropic filtering[edit]
increases the sharpness of the textures in the distance . It has a negligible impact on performance . Shadows changes the quality of the shadows . The higher the resolution, the smoother and sharper are the edges of shadows . Turning on shadows significantly reduces performance . Changes in the quality of shadows has little effect on the speed of the game .
Shadows on objects[edit]
Enable / disable self-shadowing .
landscape texture Quality[edit]
changes the texture detail of the landscape . This affects the texture quality, the processing speed, and the amount of memory required . This significantly affects performance .
Object Texture Quality[edit]
changes the texture detail of objects . This affects the texture quality, the processing speed and the amount of memory required
Creature Texture Quality[edit]
changes the texture detail of creatures . This affects the texture quality, the processing speed and the amount of memory required . has almost no effect on performance .
antialising[edit]
smoothes the edges of objects, eliminating the jagged “ladder” effect . affects the performance of the game .
vertical Sync[edit]
This is required by LCd displays . It determines the rate at which the screen is refreshed . has almost no effect on performance
3D View[edit]
(requires special bicolor (red/blue) glasses)
Enable[edit]
Enables / disables 3d view .
Depth[edit]
adjusts the effect of stereoscopic depth .we recommend you decrease the depth of the effect or disable 3d view, if your eyes become fatigued .
Sound[edit]
music[edit]
Enable / disable music playback .
Sounds[edit]
