From readme:



==============================================

PERFORMANCE-WARNING:



The Orangebox/Source Engine is getting outdated and performs poor compared to newer engines like the Cry-Engine or the Unreal-Engine.

It's almost impossible to get good framerates with enhanced viewrange, hires-textures and high polycount.

Therefore prepare yourself for fps below 40 in some open areas, unless you're using the latest NASA supercomputer.SNAPSHOT-RELEASE:



V9.5 is a Snapshot-Release. Currently i have reached the source-engine limits in almost all areas. Unfortunately the limits are quite low. The current build of the source engine can't render detailed open areas or nice foliage without hitting this limits.

(Compared to the Cry-Engine: Source engines 100 % entity limit equals approx. 5 % of the Cry-Engine limit)



I'll take a break now, hoping the next engine version will give the possibilities, i need.
