Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

God, wth is it with people's intolerance on these forums?! Why do a bunch of you have to make all these snide, sarcastic, arrogant, useless comments when instead you could just give him credit for spotting that error and leaving it at that?!

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

As someone said, the pictures can't show much proof since the Mig-29 is taken at a different point on the runway.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

I dont get that GFX glitch on the runway as well, i think its just you T_C, a couple of suggestions for you: either DONT overclock your GFX card (if you currently are) or try MANY different drivers untill you fix the problem.

Can't people work out there own problems nowadays?? how he can think that a different view distance boggles the mind REMEMBER the NEWEST driver are not always the BEST (trial and error is the way to go with drivers nowadays) I hope this helps you sort out your problem.

p.s. WHY did you blank your name out on the screenshots? what are you trying to hide?

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

Because your images are too large they are too hard to compare, however I can say that I've noticed a decrese draw distance. I'm running an X800XT with Catalyst 5.9. I was flying over wake island over the chinese airfield, and I couldnt see the plane on the runway so i turned around to see if it was flying around, but really what happened is that the draw distance was reduced, and the plane was still there. I flew towards the runway again, then all of a sudden, the J-10 popped up.

I'll never be able to figure out how you function on the internet without being able to read.

I'd guess cause others flame him for pointing out a bug, and asking for help, people take things too far, maybe said flamers would try and get him banned from servers, or generally not want to associate with the name? Dunno a guess.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

Have to admit... when you were talking about draw distance... I automatically focused on what was missing at a far distance... not the runway at your foot.

But once mentioned it is easy to spot. I havent seen this yet in my game (pci-e 6800) running 78.01. Will look at it some more ingame to see if I was just missing it there too.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

thats exactly what i thought and i just looked at the mountains behind. i have a 6800 and i cant remember it happening yet

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

I see what this guy is talking about. I really don't see this as a big issue.
There for I claim judgement
to the original poster to shut the hell up and play the game :) Because this really isn't an issue and 95% of the people in this thread don't care. :)

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

THIS IS FOR ME:

I use the 77.30 drivers, YES they are old, I know...BUT

They seem to work the best.

Settings in game are

High except textures/lighting etc.

@ 1280X1204

I dont get in-game stuttering at all. Even on servers with 64 players. FPS doesn't drop below 50 unless there's a massive explosion.

I mean...you could try the older drivers...never know.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

This theory just came to me. If this problem is only happening on the runways, maybe Dice programmed it this way so that unskilled pilots would stop bombing the airfields because they wouldnt see anything to bomb until its too late. It is pretty annoying when an enemy plane commes and bombs, or fires rockets at you before you take off. This requires no skills and makes the other guy seem like a coward, so maybe DICE had enough complaints about it to secretly resolve it with a draw distance fix?

Who knows, anything is possible.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

so? what do we see? other than a texture error on the runnway?

With your pictures we cant say anything about the, as you claimed, reduced view distance simply because all your images where taken from a diffrent possition.

lol im glad i wasnt the only one going... ummm the pictures are from differnt places.... theres no draw difference between patches.. this post is as useless as the "the weapons are stronger" or "the weapons are weaker" posts... go play stop tring to find stuff thats not there.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

I don't see at all what you're talking about. It would help if the pictures were _all_ from the same angle and _all_ looking in the same direction.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

I should have realised that no good ever comes from posting on these boards, doesnt make much difference anyway seeing as how they've crippled the game with this patch.

Did you bother reading the first paragraph of the thread?, or just looked at the screenshots and decided to give a half ass'd reply to boost your e-w@ng post count.

Yes, I read your thread. Just because you have tried several drivers does not exclude drivers from being the problem alltogether.

Your screenshots seem to show an Anisotropic Filtering error...in reverse. I don't know if that's possible though, but that is an easy way to describe it.

2nd, who gives a **** about post count? I gave you two good possibilities to look into. Bad drivers(i.e. all of them!), or your card is begining to show signs of death.

If you don't like asnswers, don't ask questions.

I recently read an article talking about problems with the new 7800 cards and strange glitches when running certain resolutions and graphical qualities. Perhaps a similar event is occuring here with your card. They concluded that a newer driver may fix that error, so a future driver may fix this one.

Re: proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

Puh-Leeze! T_C....if that is your only gripe about the game (and "it's going to make me play with the 1.02 patch"), then you need to step away from the computer and get a life. Jesus! It is really pathetic to whine about such a small glitch. The only time I found that 'glitch' happening was on the tarmac, and nowhere else. Yeah, that's REALLY going to screw up the entire game! Try playing the game, instead of trying to find small bugs like that....you'll get more pleasure out of the game.

first of he is right!! if you look good you see that the futrther the distance the less pixels are used, soo i could make the difference between kill or getting killed and if you dont get that well go figure

p.s. what on earth does the fact that he notices a problem have to do with getting a life??
