I am very frustrated. I could run the beta with leaving at least some grass and tree detail, conversation depth of field, and even bloom. Now, all of that is off and the game is completely unplayable. Did I pre-order the collector's edition for nothing? I plan on getting a new pc when I get tax money, but that is a couple of months away. FML!
thank you so much. our tips worked like a charm. i am able to play it on better settings than i did with the beta and get a higher frame rate. thank you for letting me live out my fantasy of using force lightning!
