> [@](#): > > _Steam-1S-Better2 said:_ > Looks like a good way to spot prone snipers too. Put the setting to ultra (low) and its harder for them to hide in the grass. Yeah, and that’s the real bullshit about that: Imagine you hide between grasses and bushes and think nobody can see you, but for others with different settings you are just lying on a free field -.- ---

No matter what setting i had on screen it always stayed on low, well I’m assuming its low as the plants are sparse, I really hadn’t noticed it before tbh. Very strange though. ---

Dam! I’m glad I found this thread!!!..I was about to redo my whole entire system thinking my shit is buggin’ out!!! that Patch really did a job to my setup! I tried every setup Ultra, Medium & Low and I get the same Glossy, Bright, Jagged look & my FPS stays the same 60-66!? BF4 doesn’t like SLI setups! I really cant stand that 3D Blur Color that comes & go when your moving around sometimes! I’m starting to believe EA / DICE gave us BF4 Console Patch!..lol ---

There is definitely something wrong going on with the terrain details setting, not sure if all the video settings are affected by this patch. One thing could be that not all the details are loaded in the start of the map, to test for yourself: 1. Join Test Range through Multiplayer menu 2. Wait for all the vehicles to spawn/load 3. Spawn somewhere and do some testing Sometimes it seems when you spawn before the map is completely loaded some vegetation is missing although I could be wrong. ---
