It had me wondering... Sprites.

So I bought ETW the other day and playing with DMUC mod, tis an excellent mod..

Now, I've been playing S.S 6.4 for a good while now, and in battles the fps drop used to surprise me, but i've gotten used to it. But playing ETW with high settings it was running smooth.. it took my a while to realise that was what seemed strange.

So this morning I started a Teutonic Order migration campaign to take a break from muskets, and sure enough the low FPS is there... then it hit me, the units arn't turning into sprites as they get further away

Is it possible to get them back on?

Its in the Stainless Steel F.A.Q

Q: Wow! Battle map is very laggy!
A: If you have an older computer, you may want to your SS directory, and inside default.cfg change "unit_detail=highest", to "unit_detail=low". Why is this by default set to highest? because when using the highest option MTW2 is forced to use models at any distance, instead of using spirites. What were the spirites you might ask? The little funny-looking images of soldiers when you zoom out a little.
