Hello,
I would like to request more flexibility in the game’s graphics settings.
Currently, when the overall Image Quality is set to Low, nearly all individual graphics settings become unavailable, except for Shadows. This makes it difficult to optimize the game for competitive play, where unit visibility and readability are especially important.
Games such as StarCraft II and Warcraft III allow players to keep most settings on Low while setting texture quality higher. This improves unit clarity during combat without requiring higher-quality environment details or other performance-intensive effects.
In Age of Empires IV, Image Quality must be set to at least Medium to improve textures and unit readability. However, this also increases the quality of the entire game, including environmental details that some players may not want or need. For me, changing Image Quality from Low to Medium results in an FPS drop of roughly 80-100 frames.
Please allow players to adjust individual graphics settings even when the overall Image Quality preset is set to Low. This would let competitive players prioritize clear unit visuals while keeping unnecessary visual effects and environmental details at lower settings for better performance.
Thank you.
