Why go backwards?In Alpha 2 you guys had a HUGE amount of graphics options in the game which really impressed me given the fact that it was an Alpha and now there are only 5 left in beta.What's going on?

they removed the options for whatever reason they had, probably because its a BEEETTAA theyll PPATTCCHHH IT

in the mean time you can go to C:UsersxDocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameConfig

and change the .ini files hawkengame.ini and hawkenengine.ini to your liking, getting rid of that nasty bloom and depth of field until the next patch rolls around and resets it all for the 100th time

You can get rid of motion blur and depth of field right in the advanced section of video setting ingame too.

Still not enough, there are so few options compared to what the .ini file has. DoF and Blur are only two of several things that can hurt some people's eyes while playing. I also had to use the file to keep my resolution from being changed to the point where all the text is blurred. So, until they add the rest of the video options only those with more serious issues have to break out the Config file.

Just to point out that removing bloom and grain and stuff like that will give you a larger advantage over other people and thus could be a banable offence in the future.

So then the loophole to that ban would be to put Graphics Quality to Low, because it is much more transparent (easier to see) than it would be on Ultra. Playing on Ultra is a disadvantage, because of all the filters that hinder your ability to see without hurting your eyes.

Before any Staff gave clarification about this, to be more exact. I'm up for Meteor teling us the state of the settings and what they want to do with it.
