+1 for your effort e.t.c
-10000 for Multiplayer..
I will wright the same comment as a similar addon 1-2 weeks ago.
I DONT want to play MP with som1 who sees the bushes "less dense" and the grass "lower"
In Single player/Campaign..i FULLY recommend it.
In Multiplayer is VERY VERY close to "Cheat"
Thanks for the supporting comment.
There is the same amount of bushes. Lower grass only gives advantage if mission on server has grass turned on, first person only, and if units are hiding nearby. Players who have bad frame rates have disadvantage all the time.
Server admins should enable signed addons only anyway. That way unsigned addons aren't allowed on their server and so people connecting with unsigned addons (or unallowed addons) are kicked.
Unless people prefer to play with a bunch of hackers and cheaters on public servers allowing all addons.
Yes, if someone wanted to cheat, why would they be using this addon anyway? :lol
So this essentialy lowers graphics quality to increase performance? OMG! I never heard of that lol...
how well does this increase the FPS? In percentage.
From system to system it varies...
This addon has helped my system FPS tremendously Dead. Thanks a million, really. It's little touches like this that make the game playable until they patch it up and fix all the memory leaks. Six pack of cold ones on me bro, paypal email style
Good little addon for those who need it. im on a pretty bad pc but something i noticed is that the grass doesnt slow me down. Not like ArmA1 where when i looked through the grass killed my pc. Doing the same here and nothing happens. The leaf trees on the other hand...
