Hey guys, I was wondering if certain graphical effects aren't enabled even when set to high and if so, how can I enable them?

Any more possible effects to be added in the future maybe? Lighting, higher res textures. Its a beautiful game to be sure even in the Alpha state, but I am wondering how much better will this game look when it gets closer to completion?

    Volumetric lighting is still not in until more performance optimizations have been implemented.

    And if your referring to the infestation looking all "NS1"-ish, that's because the Dev's haven't implemented the amazing infestation appearance showcased here:

    I sure hope so, because the current infestation is horrendous...

    Yes 3D infestation i still planned. They are working on other high priority things first though. Namely performance and game play. It will still be some months before we see the 3D infestation I imagine.

    You can have "godrays" in summit's alien start along with shadows that won't stop, console (keypress: `) says:

    r_atmospherics 1
    r_shadowsfade 0


    However, your computer will hire Hitman to take you out if you enabled these, Spark isn't ready yet for these things ;)

    I will see how my system handles it, just to see what she does :) Hopefully HD 7000's are out soon.
