On my computer, and on someone else's who posted a CohHelper file, I saw this:

Quote:
Advanced Occlusion Settings: No
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Occlusion Strength: Off
Blur: Bilateral
Ambient Resolution: Performance
Even though AO is shut completely off and the advanced settings are hidden from the user in the Options Window, CohHelper is reporting that the advanced settings are still set for minimal AO settings.

So, here's the question: Does this mean that there always is some form of minimal AO running, even if it's been shut off by the user? Or does shutting it off on the part of the user really shuts down AO though the advanced settings are enabled in the registry?

If "Ambient Occlusion: Off", then the rest of the values associated with Ambient Occlusion (Strength, Blur, Resolution) are ignored and Ambient Occlusion is really turned off.

I have another question.

Will this game have OpenGL 4.0 support in the near future with Tessellation support?

I'm trying to decide which gfx card to buy. Not all can do OGL 4.0
