What feature is your improvement idea related to?

Players with slow PCs shouldn't have to wade through console commands to turn off things that lower fps.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add more video settings for people with slow PCs that turn off demanding graphical effects like parallax mapping.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any.

if you have a list of existing cvars to add to settings that'd make it a lot quicker to add this in, though parallax mapping is a good start

GameChaos commented 2 years ago

what controls parallax is mat_pbr_parallaxmap and mat_pbr_parallaxmap_quality. Both require mat_reloadallmaterials to work. I got more fps by setting mat_pbr_parallaxmap to 0 rather than just mat_pbr_parallaxmap_quality to 0, so those should be combined in some way. couldn't find cvars for other effects like cubemaps and normal maps though.
