 +
 +===Resolution===
 +
 +Resolution controls how sharp your image is and how well it fits on your monitor.
 +
 +We suggest selecting the native resolution of your monitor - ARDI will default to this in most situations.
 +
 +Note however that resolution does have an impact on performance. On slower or older hardware, running at a lower resolution may help boost your frame-rate (the smoothness of the video).
 +
 +===Full Screen===
 +
 +Check this box (checked by default) to run ARDI-VE full-screen. Otherwise, it will appear as a window which you can move around the screen.
 +
 +===Distance===
 +
 +Adjusts the //draw distance//. This is the distance at ARDI will substitute smaller, simpler models for your extremely detailed ones.
 +
 +The further to the right this setting is, the longer the draw distance. This improves visual quality, at the cost of potentially lowering your frame-rate.
 +
 +The further to the left, the sooner objects will be swapped in for their low-quality replacements. This may drop your visual quality, but may significantly increase performance.
 +
 +===Use Hardware Cursor===
 +
 +This changes how ARDI processes messages from your mouse.
 +
 +Normally, ARDI tracks your mouse at the **hardware** level, which allows you to keep moving your mouse even after your cursor reaches the edges of the screen. This makes looking around objects easier.
 +
 +However, some environments - particularly virtual environments,​ such as running ARDI-VE on a KVM or via an RDP/VNC session - do not give ARDI access to the mouse hardware. Unchecking this box will use a mouse access method that works better in these environments.
 +
 +===Invert Controller Y Axis===
 +
 +When using a controller (such as an XBox 360 or XBox One controller),​ this will invert the Y axis, meaning moving the stick //down// will result in your view moving //up//. This is simply more comfortable for some users.
 +
 +===Never Disable Animations===
 +
 +Prevents ARDI from disabling history playback animations. This option is useful if you'd like to prioritise smooth data playback over framerate when performing a replay.
 +
 +===Enable Touch Controls===
 +
 +//​Deprecated - This option may be removed in a future version//
 +
 +Used to enable touchscreen control.
 +
 +ARDI can now automatically differentiate touch and mouse controls and smoothly transition between them. This option is present for legacy reasons, but will be removed in the future.
