settings
launcher- Graphics Quality: position in list: top: low quality, low hardware demands; bottom: high quality, high hardware demands;
most bottom is default
ingame- landscape setting: 5 is default size. 10 is very demanding. 1 is minimum. 15 is very very very demanding.
- disable elastic camera: makes camera statically fixed, improves performance on weak CPUs
- number of dandelions: a high number of dandelions requires a strong CPU only when all their seeds are in the air (around one location)
known issues
- some custom mp3 s don't play (due to large values in one of duration / bitrate / filesize),
- sometimes, after having switched resolution, the game doesn't initialize. Alt+Tab ing to Windows Desktop and back to game initializes it then. The menu might not accept input then. In this case, press ESCAPE to play without configuration. A Windows restart cures this issue.
Note: no collisions is on purpose
changes
- since media creation: the landscape turning dark for around half a second after sun set and moon rises is fixed, midday peak brightness slightly reduced, morning and evening brightness reduced, night brightness slightly reduced, fog closer in morning and evening
