Also thanks for the feedback!

I have changed my specs and this no longer applies to me but I will keep the guide up for those who need it!

i would say if your having issues with foliage try lowering just the foliage setting but also if you have a 3050 i wouldnt be running with rtx as it doesnt really have the graphic memory to use ray tracing or high level graphics

it actually worked really well

i don't have an amazing computer but im still lagging from the foliage, should i use the launch commands?

Thanks for this, the launch parameters work great, paired with (r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection 0). I'm getting 60-70 FPS, also switching to windowed full screen made the game smoother than exclusive full screen, not sure why that is but it could help.

Testing these launch parameters out on medium settings with in game commands r.Streaming.PoolSize 0
r.VolumetricCloud 0
r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection 0

So far the Launch Parameters have put me from 40-50 FPS TO a solid 60 FPS (where I have it limited to prevent screen tearing on my old monitor)

ALSO, before My CPU was sitting around 50% and GPU with sitting around 40%. NOW with these Launch parameters it is utilizing 80% of my GPU!

I just started testing, but I played a solid hour without crashing, which I normally would have crashed by now.
