    Votan's Adaptive (Video-)Settings  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: 1.5.7
    by: votan [More]
    DependenciesDescription
    This add-on adjusts the view- and particle distance to the current graphic load and context (normal, combat, UI hidden) to stabilize the framerate. If the view distance drops and drops, additional effects get disabled:
    Distorsion, god rays and antialiasing. In this order.

    And if the framerate raises again, e.g. because you left the crowded city, the view distance increases again. This way you can choose between quality and performance: Smooth fps in combat and best graphics otherwise.

    Since 1.3.0: If you travel or use a door, the view distance is set back to the average between minimum and maximum. This is because:
    • You may leave a low GPU load zone and enter a heavy GPU load zone and do not hit a GPU burst wall.
    • You may leave a heavy GPU load zone and enter a low GPU load zone and would see the "nothing" where the opposite wall should be.

    This add-on works with Shissu's PvP/Game Booster. The difference is:
    • Shissu's PvP/Game Booster is more effective, but also regonizable and active during combat/on demand only.
    • This add-on is less effective than Shissu's PvP/Game Booster, but more subtile and operates all the time.

    If you want to see the add-on's activities, enable framerate performance indicator (/fps)

    A "Thank You" to @dorrino and @Cabum for their feedback.

    Remarks
    • Be fair to the system: If you use (adaptive) v-sync, like I do, keep the minimum framerate a few frames below limit (<60).
      Otherwise the add-on can not detect under-load.
    • As higher your target framerate, as slower the view distance will increase again.

    If you feel dissatisfied with the second main menu entry for "Addons", take a look at Harven's AS to LAM adapter.

    Important!
    If your view distance drops and keeps at minimum (your Minimum View Distance) you may have a problem with an add-on or need a new machine .

    If in doubt, just don't use the add-on and you will see.

    Beschreibung
    Dieses Addon passt die Sichtweite und Partikeldistanz der aktuellen Grafikauslastung und dem Kontext an (Normal, Kampf, UI ausgeblendet) um die Framerate zu stabilisieren.
    Wenn die Sichtweite schrumpft und schrumpft, werden weitere Effekte abgeschaltet:
    Verzerrung, Lichtstrahlen und Antialiasing. In der Reihenfolge.

    Wenn die Framerate wieder steigt, zum Beispiel weil Du die überfüllte Stadt verlassen hast, steigt die Sichtweite wieder. Auf diese Weise kannst Du zwischen Qualität und Performance wählen: Hohe Framerate im Kampf und ansonsten bessere Grafik.

    Seit 1.3.0: Wenn Du reist oder eine Tür verwendest, wird die Sichtweite wieder auf den Mittelwert zwischen Minimum und Maximum gesetzt. Und zwar deswegen:
    • Möglicherweise verläßt Du eine Zone mit geringer GPU Last und tritts in eine Zone mit hoher GPU Last und wirst nicht von einer Belastungsspitze umgehauen.
    • Möglicherweise verläßt Du eine Zone mit hoher GPU Last und tritts in eine Zone mit geringer GPU Last und würdest das "Nichts" sehen, wo die gegenüberliegende Wand sein sollte.

    Dieses Addon funktioniert zusammen mit Shissu's PvP/Game Booster. Der Unterschied ist:
    • Shissu's PvP/Game Booster ist effektiver, aber auch bemerkbarer und nur während des Kampfes/bei Bedarf aktiv.
    • Dieses Addon ist weniger effektiv als Shissu's PvP/Game Booster, aber mehr subtil und arbeitet die ganze Zeit.

    Wenn Du sehen willst, was das Addon macht, kannst Du den Framerate Performance Indikator aktivieren (/fps)

    Anmerkung
    • Sei fair zu dem System: Wenn Du, so wie ich, (adaptives) V-Sync verwendest, halte die Minimum Framerate unter der Begrenzung (<60).
      Sonst kann das Addon keine Unterlast feststellen.
    • Je höher die Ziel Framerate, desto langsamer erhöht sich die Sichtweite wieder.

    Wenn Du nicht mit dem zweiten Hauptmenüeintrag für "Erweiterungen" leben kannst, schau Dir mal Harven's AS to LAM adapter an.

    Wichtig!
    Wenn die Sichtweite auf Minimum (15) fällt und dort bleibt, besteht entweder ein Problem mit einem Addon oder Du brauchst ein neuen Rechner .
    Im Zweifel, verwende das Addon einfach nicht und Du wirst sehen.

    To Do
    - Option to change view distance only. Keep particle distance untouched.

    Gallery
    All sceenshots made at 2560x1440 (WQHD) with "Supreme" texture quality.

    Not the best moment to seek for the screenshot key, but hey 60fps

    A shame really. I kinda wanna use both. :s
    Enabling or disabling "/latency" causes that, even without Adaptive Settings.
    This addon still detects "Info Panel" correctly (just tested) and disables any performance meter modification. They do not have a conflict.

    So it's a game bug?
    Cause the Author of Info Panel says it's not his Addons fault.
    No. Not a game bug.
    PERFORMANCE_METERS:UpdateVisibility() does what is has to do. Info Panel does not change its behavior. So it re-arranges the controls has if Info Panel would not be installed.
    How to fix it then?
    Cause it worked fine before Wolfhunter. Something must have changed..

    They are shipped with the addon zip. They can't be out-of-date.

    Please Ambient Occlusion toggle
    Some of the graphic settings are missing like ambient occlusion. Please add a ambient occlusion toggle since its also a graphic setting that can be turn on/off without reloading. Thank you!

    Agreed - I tested this after seeing the post and got a big FPS increase in many areas.
    I turn off reflections two years ago

    Nice to know
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.co...omment_5063953

    ZOS_AlexTardif:
    "PS: Pro tip, if you have a good GPU and have all your settings maxed but want higher performance, change your Reflection Quality to Low instead of Medium or High. "Low" reflections are actually using screen-space reflections, rather than heavy-duty planar reflections. Planar reflections are more accurate, but they're far harder on the CPU, whereas screen space reflections are almost entirely a GPU operation and should lighten the load on your CPU quite a bit."

    ^^ Indeed.

    Thanks!
    I will take care of it in the next release.
    Does this mean that I should be able to see the view distance in the panel, even when using Info Panel? Because view distance won't show up at all for me, unless I disable Info Panel.
    Hoft could implement that, but didn't.

    Thanks!
    I will take care of it in the next release.
    Does this mean that I should be able to see the view distance in the panel, even when using Info Panel? Because view distance won't show up at all for me, unless I disable Info Panel.

    First you go to the addon's settings and switch "Touch Particle Distance" to "Off".
    When go to the "Video" settings and change "Particle Distance" to <=50.

    If your ESO's performance issue are typical like this: 30% CPU, 50% GPU and still 30fps or less only.
    This is "Your machine could do more, but not on a single core". => If you can overclock your CPU a bit more. Of course on your on risk.

    Maybe this gets better with "Summerset".
