Rendering
- Glide
Your renderer is chosen the first time you load Rune. Follow
the settings for whichever is applicable from the
below renderers. If you've selected Glide,
then open up the 3dfx Glide support tab. Users
of Glide should have no problem whatsoever running the
game with all the details on.
Coronas.
Set this to True. This is the haze of light that appears around light sources in
the game, such as lamps in the game. It has little
effect of performance.
DetailBias. Try setting this to 0. This is semi-equivalent to
LOD bias setting available in the Voodoo 4/5 drivers,
increasing this value may fix a few visuals anomalies.
I’d recommend setting it to 0.
DetailTextures. A detail texture is
a very small, fine pattern which is faded in as you
approach a surface, for example wood grain, or
imperfections in stone. Set this to True
for improved visual quality. 3dfx cards should be able
to set this to True without any problems,
although this is a setting you may want to try
toggling to test the effects it has on your frame
rate.
Set it to False for increased performance. You can
use the LodPercentage setting to adjust the
range at which detail textures are applied.
DisableVSync.
Set this to False to enable v-sync, to ensure that you get no display
anomalies in games (tearing). Only set it to True if you’re benchmarking the games performance.
HighDetailActors.
Set this to True for better visuals. Setting it to False will improve performance.
RefreshRate.
You should set this to the highest refresh rate your
monitor allows at a given resolution. 85Hz
is what most will users should set. This will
effectively cap off your frame rate when vsync is enabled
to whatever the refresh rate is. Setting it higher may
damage your monitor.
ScreenSmoothing.
Set this to True to enable screen
smoothing for improved visual quality, set it to False
if you want to improve performance a bit, although at
the cost of some visual quality.
ShinySurfaces.
Set this
to True for
better visuals. Shiny surfaces are the reflective
surfaces in the game, e.g. in the training mission on
some floors you can see your reflection. Setting it to
False will improve your frame rate in such
areas.
VolumetricLighting. Set this to True
for better visuals. Setting this to False
will have a big improvement on frame rate. On most
graphics cards that have trouble running Rune setting
this to False along with DetailTextures
to False will mean the difference between a playable
& an unplayable game.
