Performance Increase Options

[DeaneTheMachine]

Just wondering if we could improve the performance of lower end hardware by allowing us to tone down the graphics in the options specifically:

Particle System Quality	Adjusts the quality of particle effects. Low Medium High
Shadow Quality	Adjusts the sharpness of all agents' shadows. Low Medium High

 

Considering that shadows as a whole use a good chunk of R.A.M., is it possible to get a option that allows us to turn this off altogether. From testing on other games (both modern and classic, shooters, fighting, simulation, etc.) this can improve FPS by 15-25 FPS, depending on the game. Would really help games and players dropping out just from too much lag and choppy gameplay

On my old laptop it was the loading time which was horrible (1,5-2 minutes/map, so completing PUG capture missions were impossible for me), but my fps was 27-30, so this is not a solution for everyone. (My specs were: i3 370m 2.4 GHz, 3GB RAM, AtiHD 5470m 512MB) Also I think there are no lower quality models of those you mentioned yet, so DE have to implement them. Anyway, this would help some people, so why not.
