For anyone with below average FPS, try this!

[Qweets]

Open your console IN GAME while actually playing by pressing the "~" key and type in umbra culling and press enter.. should give you like +20fps maybe less maybe more.. Worked for me and others Happy shooting!

+1

WOW thanks! But what does it do? Still gave me like 15 FPS

 

[wazups2x]

Yeah, I'd rather not try it until I know what it does.

Umbra 3 builds an internal representation of a game scene and uses this data at runtime to perform efficient queries that can be used to e.g. determine the set of visible objects for the player or determine the set of objects that are within a given distance from a point.

So, that said...what can't be done now that could be done before disabling it? (I'm also of the don't toy with things you don't know about camp )

I believe it affects how shadows are calculated to be displayed.

Thanks for the tip, but I have one other concern:

Is there a way to disable VOIP?

Hello , with umbra it will only draw the objects visible by the camera as opposed to drawing the full map objects without it from what i understood , here's a video from the devs of this technology explaining it in detail :

Seems to help a little, but I tested it on Pavlov's House, and that map is a monster anyway.

It's a setting in the settings menu with this update. You don't need to do this at all in the console.

And is it the same name? Didn't see it

Is this enabled by default?

 

[MagicSnake]

Does this mean that if a player is casting a shadow from behind a building and you'd normally see his shadow around the corner of said building, that turning "umbra cullling" on would make his shadow disappear since the player is not within camera range? or does camera range ignore objects such as buildings?

True. The only map I seem to never be able to get over 25 frames on is Pavlov's House. How? I don't know.

What's it under? I don't see it.

+1 for the interesting video.

Nice feature, glad TWI included it in the game

 

[PanterA]

Yep it works thank you! took my FPS up in a little bit. Everything on High!

 

[Derpus]

Is there any reason not to use this? I.e. will it lower graphics quality slightly in some areas or make things pop up-load (which I really dislike)?

 

[NoxNoctum]

Ok one question, this helped my FPS a lot but do I have to do it every single time I start the game or every single time I load a new map or is it a one time thing?

Also does typing it more than once turn it on/off?

thanks
