[Tip] Enabling Distortion Effects

[Maj.Faux-Pas]

To enable distortion effects for weapons fire, artillery, grenades etc.

Open: My Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config\ROEngine.ini

Under:

[SystemSettings]

Find:

Distortion=False

And set to:

Distortion=True

Not guaranteed to work on all systems. Effects not finalized since they are not enabled by default and there is no in-game option.

Looks good though.

Can you post pics or explain the difference?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing the awesome shockwave effects in the first version of the beta. I never realized they disappeared - I wonder why?

Weapon sound echos also disappeared.

Weapon sound echos also disappeared.

I think the sound engine is kinda bugged , not a mention you can't select more then 32 channels

My ROEngine.ini is not there...
Where else can it be saved?

I'm getting distortion effects already and always have without this tweak, so I don't know what this one does.

edit: because it was already set to true lol.

This is part of Ultra settings... if you play on ultra you already have it on. But man it does look so much more awesome.

I see... didn't realize it was part of Ultra. There's no performance loss so it doesn't make sense to me why they left it out of medium and high settings.

Distortion basically looks like a shockwave. I could give you a picture but it wouldn't describe the effect. It makes the world bend and stretch around explosions, like a high pressure air 'wave' that radiates out. Sort of like a bomb blast, if you've seen videos of multiple large bombs exploding.
