Guild Wars 2

That is the only place I found that mentioned use of this command line argument (I added it to the wiki a little bit ago though).

I imagine it’s probably not really useful though currently (likely unfinished), as a matter of fact, Shadows and some Lighting seem to be lacking with it in-use. Performance is relatively the same, but your experience may vary.

If I understand it’s purpose correctly, it switches GW2 from Deferred rendering, to Forward rendering.

Anyone try this command and have any feedback?

About a 10 fps drop (from 85 to 75 in isolated LA), occasional jittery fps on camera movement (fps still at 75, no other players in the area), lighting appears to be darker? (no bloom effect but other light sources are darker as well), slight loss of shader detail (my character’s face looks like he got plastic surgery). No noticeable visual improvement in any areas that I can see atm. Maybe it works well with hardware forced AA?
