Q:
Low vs. Medium vs. High Environment Setting
I can’t recall of the top of my head and I personally never used anything but high, however if you hover your mouse over that setting a little pop-up will describe what each value does.
I believe the difference between high and medium is ground clutter. Grass, weeds, maybe smoke effects and such.
I’m not 100% sure though and would like a more definitive answer myself.
It just describes the setting when I hover over it. It doesn’t list the differences in this one. (Other settings do though). I did notice that on high, my character leaves footprints in the snow, and on medium, it does not.
On medium, my computer contracts a pounding headache. Says it’s fine, but I don’t believe it, no.
On high, it begins to beg for its life and apologizes profusely for things I’ve never been aware of.
More research on the matter must be conducted.
