Essential improvements
Skip intro videos
- Restores the E3 2012/2013 visual effects hidden in the configuration files. It uses the built-in patch mechanism that Ubisoft provided and incorporates the version 1.3 patch. It replaces some textures, shaders and a some default configuration in the core files. Some of the effects from E3 have not been properly polished by developers for release, including headlight shadows that may appear bugged at times. Similarly, using the version with MalDo textures, which allows you to use Ultra textures on GPUs with less than 3GB of memory, works removing mipmaps. This will introduce some significant aliasing on distant textures as they will not load the properly optimized versions included in the retail game, cutting down on memory. Also, the field of view is significantly closer with this mod, which might cause discomfort or decreased viewing distance by nature of the effect. So see Field of view (FOV).
