Hopefully 2.0 will have in game video settings and not rely on an external config.exe to change them.

The benchmark was nothing more than a cutscene it had no game code running in the background and was pre beta so yea its expected not to be a good representation of the final product.

I completely disagree, if you're not getting accurate information to begin with how exactly can you accurately choose settings that would work well?

Of course they could have the config options in-game, most other games do that, but I don't think it would be possible to make an auto-detect system that would work well for everyone. Ultimately you'd just end up having to change things manually anyhow.

I dont' really care if you agree with me, its how most games do it.

If I start Sykrim up now I have the option to choose between 4 pre-settings from low to ultra high, just as I do with Tera and numerous other games out there.

As I said before Tera has an auto detect setting aswell which does a pretty good job, you only then need to tweak a few settings.

Come on, even UT99' had that feature and it was working ok and that was 13 years ago... The goal is not to have something that will work 100% of the time, that's just impossible. But if it can properly work for 99% of users then where is the issue?
