Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

ATI 9800 AIW using Omega drivers

there is a HUGE diffrence in graphics, i was running everything on high before, and it looked great, now it looks "cartoony"

to be more OBJECTIVE than "cartoony"
it looks to me like everything has a small black line around it, like cell shading on the turreted mounted weapons you can REALLY notice a big thick black line around the entire gun, it makes it look "off"

/havent changed resolutions, will try tonight

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

does anyone actually have two comparable screenshots?

i mean of the same location but taken in both versions of the game.

the cartoonyness could possible be caused by a tweak to the detail textures...that would speed things up. Or maybe the texture compression is different.

or the could have just changed what 'low', 'medium' and 'high' means. But i havent tried the patch yet lol.

aaaah... i had this on the old version. with geforce 6800 with AA set to x4 (possibly with quincunx mode on im not sure - the game doesnt say)

i got that outline usually when view from instide a tank and sometimes generally in the game.

hahahahah wow.. thanx Grimm for posting that, ive sent it around the office.. haha thats AMAZINGLY FUNNY

i guess its true.. a fool and his money are soon parted

(ATI 9800Pro AIW on a Samsung 21" with .22 pitch its 4 years old, its an amazing monitor IMHO)

I have dual 7800's as well,and I play on a 17 inch.I bought a 23 inch monitor a little after I upgraded my stem,but I found it was too hard for me to focus my attention fully on the screen.I liked the 17 inch better as the area was smaller and I could focus easier on it and what was going on,the larger montior felt to busy to me.

I suppose if I had stuck with it I would have eventualy have gotten used to it,but I took it back before really giving it a chance.

I still use a 6 year old keyborad as well though,since I am used to it and it's familiar to me.

Follow up:

Heres the videodeafault.con from my DC that had been changed to make the graphics better.

renderer.setFullScreen 1
renderer.fieldOfView 1
renderer.globalLodRadius 1
renderer.globalLodRadiusScaleFactor 5
console.showStats 0
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

I changed my BF2 videodefault.con, but nothing happened. They must have locked this setting somehow.

Here is an example. Forgive my low graphics settings, but you can see how the detail radius works.

I done this in Wake Island and you could see the deatil pop up in a wave in front of the jeep in external view. Check it.

Edit Bollox attachment didnt work!! Upload fuction is coming up with errors.

Bottom line is the LOD needs fixed. Any of you brain boxes figure it out?

VideoDefault.con is not used by BF2 at all. The only files it looks at in the \mods\bf2\settings folder are controls.con, sound.con, ReservedSlots.con, and ServerSettings.con. The rest are just stuff I guess noone at DICE ever bothered to delete.

Well I have a 6800GT, and I can tell that they've decreased the draw distance.. as for the graphics I guess it still looks fine, but not fantastic like it was in 1.02. Either way I cant play this POS because of the stutter this "patch" has introduced.

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

Also, don't you feel that Wake could use more colorful textures? I always feel like it's too pale, that it should be more green, and I have Eizo LCD (S1910), with saturation at +20....

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

I was trying some settings last night and it seems like the Medium Lighting settings are actually better looking than before but take more of a performance hit.

[teadaze]

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

the hell it is. medium lightning and texture settings look like below low settings here with my 9800 pro. I mean the game looks like **** now. maybe not for ppl with highend cards. but before it looked sweet as hell with crap card but now it looks like doom 2 ffs. ok maybe overdoing it there but the gfx is cleary worse now then prior to 1.03. and I lag like hell now that I didnt on 1.02.

again the **** has hit the fan and even tho they cleared up some bugs the game just felt like it took 5 steps back instead of forward...pfff

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

ahh, im still satified with the graphics, i mean really, does anyone play the game for the graphics anyway?, nope not i, ill take performance any day:P

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

wow dont see a diff

if you have a nvidea card you have to use colloer correction... same thing with me and now it looks much better

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

loaded 1.03 last night, and degradation of graphics was noticed right away. Performance getting better at the same time though.

Not too happy with graphic quality losses.

Re: Graphics Change with 1.03 ?

Until someone posts identical screenshots from the different versions I seriously think your all falling under the power of suggestion.

Me personally, I notice no difference whatsoever.
