Any way to disable the grass in the 1.0.2.4 update?

[churro]

I always play my game on the lowest of settings because I don't have the most powerful of computers. My game played very smoothly in 1.0.2.3. There was no grass while I played. Now, when I play this new version, my game lags pretty badly when I look at the grass. is there any way that I could manually disable it?

The grass should be disabled as a part of the new update, my fps has increased since, i used to run at 20fps at my base now 30-45.

Well, the grass I saw in 1.0.2.3 was minimal and didn't make my game lag in the slightest. Here is a picture. 

 

The grass I see now in 1.0.2.4 makes me lag every time I see it. Here is the grass I see.

 

Is there any way to make it so I can see the grass I used to see?

Have you tried different servers, just to make sure go on my server and test. I have had no issues.

I noticed the same thing on my server.

I tried 3 different servers, King, and I just tried yours. I had lag in all of them. Is there no way that I can manually delete or edit files to revert the grass to what it used to be?

It must  be your client then, try reinstalling epoch.

Already did that twice.

Same issue here too. I thought it was just me being fussy, but the lag certainly is higher than usual. I'd get 20fps before (which isn't great anyway) but now I get 10-15fps, sometimes even 7fps :(

you probably should set video memory to default because as far as i know everything else uses only 512mb of your graphic card

Come and see on our server, the grass is short, if it isn't it's a setting specific to your chraracter.

Did a fresh install of 1.0.2.4 and server fps was floating around 35-40, with just myself online. On my 1.0.2.3 server (with AI, and several other additions), server fps was consistently capping at 50 with a handful of people on.

 

Game is certainly playable but not sure why there's a server fps decrease.

i tried your server and the grass was the same.

 

Honestly, I don't think that this is a server-side issue. I believe that we should be able to control how the grass looks in our own game.

You can remove the grass mod by deleting the following files from the @dayz_epoch/addons folder

gdtmod_grass.pbo
gdtmod_grass.pbo.dayz_vb.bisign

I tried that, but the grass didn't disappear and I was still laggy. so I deleted all the gdtmod files and now everything looks like it was in 1.0.2.3. I am no longer experiencing lag at all. Thanks for the help.

 

BTW, I backed the up before deleting in case I needed them for something. Maybe I didnt have to delete them all but they are there in case some of them are crucial.

Confirmed, I deleted all the gdtmod files and my framerate has gone from 45 to 55 in camp to 70+ and I can actually see stuff laying in the grass.

This might help when you turn off the grass mod.
Add this to the init.sqf

setTerrainGrid 25 ;

For no grass change it to 50

does this take the grass mod off my server or just client ?
