Quality, Overall:

This tells Uru how much quality to use when rendering

special effects and environmental clarity. Uru will select settings that work well
with your system.

Full-Scene Anti-Aliasing:

Anti-aliasing smoothes the jagged edges of avatars

and scene objects, so the higher this is set, the smoother the edges will appear.

Texture

This tells Uru how much detail to use when displaying textures such

as object surfaces and close-up foliage.This affects how things look close up.

Anisotropic Filtering:

If available on your card, this feature improves the

texture quality, making it more consistently sharp. A small adjustment in this
setting can have a big effect.

AUDIO TAB

Enabled:

Check this box to turn on audio and audio settings. If left unchecked,

Uru will run without any sound, and you will miss a huge amount of what’s
wonderful about Uru!

Hardware Acceleration:

Leaving this option checked will usually give you

much better performance since it offloads audio tasks from the CPU to the
sound card.

Note: Hardware acceleration can be adjusted from the Hardware Acceleration slider in
the Advanced Properties tab found in the Windows sound control panel. In general, this
slider should be set to 100% because some features, such as EAX

environmental

audio, are only available when set to 100%.

Allow EAX Effects:

If your sound card does not support Creative Lab’s EAX,

this option is shown as unavailable. Otherwise, ensure that your sound card is
properly configured to make use of its EAX benefits, such as more immersive
and realistic sound effects.To disable EAX effects, uncheck this option.

Number of Sounds:

Low, Medium, High, Ultra.The game automatically

defaults to the best setting for your sound card.
