 Abdu | * Or has that changed some time ago and it became automatic to switch to VBO when appropriate by OpenMW? | 16:07:39 |
 wazabear_notabear#7403 | openmw doesn't use DL explicitly for everything , it's all abstracted (for good or for bad) | 16:07:47 |
| Abdu | I see | 16:07:56 |
| Abdu | It's probably because it's not tested enough up until now. | 16:08:40 |

| Abdu | I'm surprised though, I haven't yet seen a bug with VBOs, I have alot of graphical mods. | 16:11:35 |

| Abdu | It's definitely a good thing. | 16:12:14 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | It would be nice if we had telemetry . Discord, forums, and Gitlab combined is not enough to get an idea of what hardware/drivers people use. | 16:12:31 |

 docent27#5244 | Often people do not like telemetry, or are afraid of it. | 16:13:37 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | Steam hardware survey is great, but who knows how it applies to openmw. | 16:13:46 |
| Abdu | Don't some launchers automatically set game settings to "the best ones" for current hardware? What do they do? | 16:14:50 |
| Abdu | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:15:04 |
 PriestOfIlunibi | Maybe if it was opt-in only, via a different download? | 16:15:06 |
| docent27#5244 | Steam players are most often windows users. They play openmw on anything - linux, windows, android, RP3-4, it seems they even ran on a switch. | 16:15:48 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | It would need to be included and an opt-in, but that was just a blurb, I don't expect openmw to add anything like that. | 16:16:18 |
 urm#2224 | The most important question is if OpenMW runs on Steam Deck well | 16:16:30 |
| docent27#5244 | It should work very well on it, the hardware is powerful there. | 16:17:13 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | At least for games like Skyrim they are literally just ini presets. | 16:17:20 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | I'm sure they benchmark on their target hardware, consoles are a big one. | 16:17:52 |
| PriestOfIlunibi | I think those tend to use tools like dxdiag to auto-fetch info and base a preset off of that. Don't quote me on that though | 16:18:35 |
| Abdu | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:18:56 |
| Abdu | Even OpenGL games do that. | 16:19:17 |
| PriestOfIlunibi | Apparently UE4 has a system for getting a "performance index" so there's that too https://www.tomlooman.com/auto-detect-graphics-settings-ue4/ | 16:19:53 |
 eddie5 | There was a guy who dropped by here a year or two ago who had it working on a Raptor Power9. 🙂 | 16:20:10 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | It's why in-game settings are so important, more valuable then auto-selecting best settings. | 16:26:04 |
| wazabear_notabear#7403 | You can see performance in real time and do lots of fine tune tweaking for all the settings specific to your setup in a way a launcher can never do. | 16:26:50 |
