dude, get over it with the casing, but most of all USE THE DAMN PREVIEW FUNCTION! Look at the damn preview for a minute and make your damn changes, it's not that damn hard?!
==Introduction==

: Choose from the resolutions that are supported by your graphics card. Choosing a too low or too high resolution might effect performance. Some monitors have an optimal resolution. Wurm looks much better at higher resolutions so compare the performance at different settings.
;Fullscreen
:Play Wurm in a window or use all of the screen. Windowed and Fullscreen fullscreen does not have much difference, fullscreen yields a little more performance, not really noticeable unless on an old computer; this may depend on your graphics card.;GUI Window window opacity
: The opacity of the interface windows. This can make screens like the inventory see-through, completely solid, or something in between.
;Bob viewport when walking
:Inverts the mouse's Y-Axis for looking up and down.

Note that setting all the graphics settings on the extreme settings is not recommended. It will result in poor frame rate on even the fastest systems.
;Terrain Resolutionresolution:Choose from Lowlow, Mediummedium, or Highhigh. This has some effect on performance and affects the quality. More means more detailed landscape far away from you. If you appreciate a good view then use high unless your computer can't handle it. Settings medium and high also show rocks in the terrain.
:{|
;Water reflection
:Choose from None"Mone", "Sky only", "Sky and terrain", "Sky, terrain, and trees", "Almost everything". Have set to NONE '''none''' unless you have a semi-old card (FX5600 or better at least) and a good CPU (AMD athlon Athlon 2000+, 2GHZ 2GHz P4). It has a great effect on performance, turning it on will use a lot, but with a good comp it only gives a small drop in performance and it does make the water look nice.
:{|
|}
;Tile Decorationsdecorations:Choose from Extremely extremely sparse, Sparsesparse, Normalnormal, Densedense, or Extremely extremely dense. Have this set to Extremely Sparse extremely sparse for a performance boost. Using higher settings makes the game much prettier, but you also have a harder time finding anything on the ground, unless it is on/in dirt, road, water, rock or sand. Large performance drop if used. Using the extreme setting is not recommended, it will effect performance greatly.
:{|
|}
;Tree Render Distancerender distance:Choose from Very very short, Shortshort, Normalnormal, Farfar, or Extremeextreme. The amount of trees you can see. Have set to Very Short very short to have best performance. However, structures, items and animals will not be rendered beyond the tree limit. Short or Normal normal are optimal for quality versus performance. Only use far or extreme when you have a good computer. Using the extreme setting is not recommended, it will effect performance greatly.
;Structure Render Distancerender distance:Choose from Very very short, Shortshort, Normalnormal, Farfar, or Extremeextreme. The distance in which you can see structures. Set it to very short for a performance boost when you are in a (large) town. Set to Extreme extreme if you want to see towns from quite a distance away. ''The maximum setting of this option is the setting of Tree Render Distancetree render distance''
;Item/Creature Render Distanceand creature render distance:Choose from Very very short, Shortshort, Normalnormal, Farfar, or Extremeextreme. Set this to very short for a performance boost. Setting this to extreme helps looking for items and creatures. ''The maximum setting of this option is the setting of Structure Render Distancestructure render distance''
;Avatar's animations
:Choose from Allall, Walking walking only or Nonenone.
;Sky Detaildetail:Choose from Lowlow, Normalnormal, Highhigh. Set to high for more detailed clouds, but much less performance. Set to low for very crude clouds, but heaps of performance.
;Cave Detaildetail:Choose from Very Lowvery low, Lowlow, Normalnormal, Highhigh. Set to normal, the difference in performance from Low low to Normal normal is minimal, and in a cave you don't need great performance mostly. Even set to the highest does not drop your performance too much.
;Shadows
:Set this to none for a great performance increase. Setting this to the highest setting will cause the client to render everything twice.
;Render Cloud Shadowscloud shadows
:Turn this off for a noticeable performance increase.
|}
;Render Distant Terraindistant terrain
:Have ON unless it really makes the game unplayable. Great effect on performance, but good for spotting things early (like enemies).
;Render tile transition
:ON is prettier but it isn't essential as it only makes the Tile Border tile border between tiles blend between the tiles. Turn it OFF to increase performance slightly.
:{|
|}
;Render Bloombloom ("glow")
:Set to OFF for performance. Very pretty, makes the game look great, but has a large effect on performance. Makes the game look...well, more lifelike, look at the sun and you will not see much :P ''The effects of this option depends greatly on your hardware (some users may experience a heavy performance drop, some close to none)''.
:Have OFF for performance. Performance will drop a great deal when it starts to rain, but on will make weather look nicer, but weather is really nice anyway so it´s up to you.
==Sound Tabtab==

;Sound Engineengine:Choose from None none (silent), Software software or Hardware hardware (OpenAL). This will cause sounds to be played for certain actions, if you have downloaded the optional packs. Your own preference.
;OpenAL Volume
:Modifies the volume sounds will be played at.
