How to enable better graphics rendering
Disappointed with the apparent lack of definition with the default graphics options, even when set on high?
You can get much better definition in by doing the following:
1. Bring up the console at any time by pressing "Ctrl + Alt + ~" (depending of your keyboard ofc, in sweden it's f.e. the §-button and not ~)
2. Type "r_megadrawmethod 0" which seems to set the graphics to it's highest settings.
3. Press "Enter" and you're done, the changes apply instantly, even while in game.
It enables a slight distance haze, what appears to be better rendering of many objects too, the trade off is that you'll notice a hit in your frame rate if you don't have a super high end card, so you might not want to keep it enabled (either that or you could lower the resolution to compensate).
To disable it just type: "r_megadrawmethod 3" (3 is it's default level) and it will reset to normal, you can also try 1 and 2 which are both different quality factors.
The biggest difference is probably the fog, better shader and lighting effects as well. Shadows are much more noticeable.
