Posting my TESO Client INI tweaks here for visibility for more users, its very easy to get lost in the chaos during the weekend events.Most obvious of these tweaks is an increase in character detail which fixes the muddy look seen outside of conversations.

So what exactly do you gain from these tweaks?

D3D9, D3D11, OPENGL Rendering Modes! D3D9 or D3D11 is set by autodetect depending on your videocard, but you can override it. OPENGL is good if you want to run TESO under WINE in Linux too, but it does have issues with rain water shader in the environment.

High Res Character Texture - Atlas will downsample other Players and NPCs by default, changing MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS will offset it forcing high quality detail.

Faster Player & NPC Loading!

Color Correction.

Skip those pesky intro videos!

Screenshots

I'll see about getting better screenshots this weekend.

INI TWEAKS

In your ini find & change or add the following

For Live your INI is located at ..\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt

SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-3" SET HIGH_RESOLUTION_SHADOWS "1" SET COLOR_CORRECTION "1" SET GraphicsDriver.7 "D3D11" (Pick One: "D3D9" | "D3D11" | "OPENGL") SET SimultaneousCharacterLoadLimit.2 "10" SET SimultaneousCharacterDestroyLimit "10" SET SkipPregameVideos "1"

Tips

If MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVEL -3 is too much for your system try -2, or -1. This setting can be memory intensive so be sure you have a Videocard with 1GB+ of Ram.

If SimultaneousCharacterLoadLimit.2 10 is causing hitching, lower the limit or remove the setting.

Be sure to pick one GraphicsDriver.

Disclaimer: All settings found during the weekend beta, settings may be altered or removed by later updates.
