Weather

Weather Slots

• Recommendation: 2-3 Slots at 2x (ie. 30min slots) Weather Progression
• Default is Sync To Race but if you're racing sprints weather may change too fast
• So 30min slots (2x speed) gives a nice gradual progression of weather

Graphics

Aliasing, Shimmering, and Artifacting

Things we're trying to solve:

• Concrete barriers have aliasing
• Metal barriers have shimmering
• Mesh fences have artifacting or "wavy" visuals

Configurations:

• Default:
  • In-Game: Medium Multisample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA):
    • Exhibits significant aliasing, some shimmering, some artifacting
• Best Image Quality:
  • Driver Enhanced Supersampling using NVIDIA Profile Inspector
    • In-Game: MSAA Medium
    • Driver:
      • Antialiasing - Mode: Enhance
      • Antialiasing - Setting: 8xS [Combined: 1x2 SS + 4x MS]
      • Antialiasing - Transparency Supersample: 8x Sparse Grid Supersampling

Aliased Shadows

• This appears to be a limitation of the shadows implementation. It's trivially optimized but has to be done by the developers and comes with a performance hit.
• No antialiasing techniques seem to have an improvement effect on Madness Engine shadows
