I give a fuck! It's awesome to still see someone chugging away at this! Please keep up the good work and keep us updated. Hopefully something comes out of this. I wish we were still able to mod the initfs_win32 file so I could up the graphics still. Thanks for the update

Yea! You have to change the initfs_win32 in the update/patch/data folder. Dont even worry about the one in the original data folder anymore. I deleted that one. Make sure to back it up just in case. My initfs_win32 file is a bit of a mess right now. I'll see what I can do when I clean it up a bit. Also, does anybody know of any more console commands other than the 2000+ that were leaked already. A lot of commands seem to be missing. Stuff dealing with the emitter system and the shaders.

It worked when I started using Notepad++ to make the changed rather than notepad/wordpad.

Nevermind! I got it working!!! Wooo, time to take the graphics to a new level! Is it possible to get banned for this?

I also tried that. I tried just turning off the shadows and nothing else. Maybe there are multiple ways to disable shadows. He didnt specifically say which cvar/command he changed. Sorry, I dont mean to be a bother.

Yea, I used the method from here: http://www.bfeditor.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15524

That's what I'm doing, it's exactly the same size. I havent been changing any true/false values. I've only been changing integer values. Even when changing one value from 0 to 1 causes the game to freeze. Would it be possible for you to change a few settings for me to test out and see?

Hey rukqoa, If it's not too big of a hassle, could you explain how you were able to edit the initfs_win32 file and still be able to get online or even allow the game to start up in the 1st place. I've been trying tons of different things and combinations for the past few hours and I just cant figure it out. It either crashes bf3.exe before it's able to start properly or just hangs at "joining game" or "initializing". I want to up the graphics and animations in the game beyond the ULTRA settings and I would really appreciate it if you could help

Would it be at all possible for you to share with me exactly how you are able to change the graphics settings? I'm having a hard time trying to follow. I've been dying to change rendering distances and LOD while playing online. I've been researching this since the game came out and this is the 1st place that I've found that is actually making stuff like this possible! I just want to increase the graphics beyond "Ultra". If it's not too much, I'd really appreciate your help
