An option to disabling Grass must happen!

Recommended Posts

This is a request for multiplayer missions.

In Arma 2 and many other games I experienced this problem. I understand that having grass adds realism and beauty to the terrain BUT it costs a lot of FPS as it needs to render. Please give atleast server owners to possibility to decide if they want players be able to turn off grass or not.

It usually gives me a boost from 5-10 FPS to play without grass but in Arma 3 that option no longer seems to exist(?).

Setting Terrain Detail to Low in the video-settings will do what you want, it will give you floating distant objects in return though. As far as servers go, some will give you options for it, some won't. Thinking about it, I don't think I was right about that. Either everyone has grass off or nobody. It may have something to do with the AI calculations. If grass is off on your PC, it may have an effect on some calculations done by the server where grass may be turned on.

TAW View Distance:

CH View Distance (based off of TAW):

Both allow clients to set the level of grass to either their liking or to what their computer can handle as well as overall view distance and object draw distance.

You could probably even look into how they accomplished disabling the grass, and alter it to make it a server side parameter for the mission, so it's disabled for all players no matter what.
