PC-only Settings[]
| Shadows | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| On | Off | ||
| Shadows are added to vehicles, buildings (close up) and TK. | Shadows are absent from almost all features in the game. Only shading is added underneath pedestrians and vehicles. | ||
| Shader Versions | |||
| In computer graphics, a shader version is file data that represents the output of reflections, shading and lighting in display. | |||
| 1x | 2.0 | ||
| Original shader design. Lower quality textures, reflections and less saturates. | Updated color scheme, reflections and texture quality. | ||
| Normal Mapping | |||
| Mapping is the process of stretching or positioning a square texture sheet onto a surface in video. | |||
| On | Off | ||
| Embossed textures. | "Normal" textures are textures which have a separate, 3D-like, texture effect, despite not being 3D. Turning off this effect removes the 3D-ness of flat textures and results in mostly 2D appearance. | ||
| Anti-Aliasing | |||
| Anti-aliasing is the process of diminishing jaggies - stairstep-like lines that should be smooth. This applies notably to most edged surfaces, such as vehicles, components of buildings such as spires, and many street accessories such as street-lamps and fencing. | |||
| On | Off | ||
| Gamma | |||
| Gamma is the relationship between power and brightness in video settings. Adjusting gamma tends to affect the level of both brightness and contrast in the display. | |||
| 0% | 50% | 75% (default) | 100% |
