The more, the better.



Settings
--------

The game can be configured via the default.ini file.
These settings are loaded when the game is run.
It's reccomended to set the resolution to your monitors native resolution.
If you have a hyper graphics card set Multisample to 1.
If you have an old graphics card set Resolution to 0.5, this will further downscale the resolution.
Increase world detail to make things look rounder.
Decrease maximum particles to lighten your cpu's load.
Sound and music volumes work. If you set them to a negative number the game doesn't even bother to load sounds and music.
Motion blur is subtle and only works if you have a fast gpu.
Frame interval affects motion blur.
Timewarp will stretch game time.
