Hi guys

I know there are dozens of threads about people trying to disable the use of sprites when you zoom out. But even in 2021 nowbody knows how to do it or am I wrong?
As far as I know, empire and napoleon both use parameters stored in memory instead of parameters in pack files. I have found two people who managed to disable this behavior with cheat engine on empire total war but I am not able to contact them. Anybody still here, who knows what to look for in cheat engine to disable the aggressive LOD?
