proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

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

@ Drevor - of course if you reduce the image half the size of the original, its going to be difficult to notice anything wrong.
spot the difference yet ? (excuse my crappy paint skills)

you know ... the diffrence between you and me is that I acctually read your post. First of all I already wrote that I noticed that texture bug on the runway and secondly you where talking about a decreased view distance.
The view distance defines the range you are able to see (duh!) so noone is going to look bedind your plane for any missing textures but in the FAR for any missing objects. Next time a) think about what you are writing and b) read what other people write.

(I caped the images because, in terms of VIEW DISTANCE, there is no intresting information in the upper and lower parts of the image.)

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

I was just using the runway as an example since it stands out more.. it happens back and front, quite frankly im going to stick to the 1.02 patch and play on unranked servers (dont care about stats). Seeing as how I cant play 1.03 with the new stutter but I guess thats a whinge for another day.

Do I get this problem? No.
Do I care that you do? No.
Is anyone likely to care that you do? Open for debate.

I have the same problem...I assumed it was because I installed the 81.82 drivers for my 6800GT...

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

I can see virtually no notable difference. If anything the view distance in the 3rd pic is better than in the 2nd. Notice how you can see that mountain on the left? This seems contrary to your point.

Please make the pics smaller and post them side by side for easier comparison.

the pictures were not taken the same distances apart if you notice he is closer to the hanger in the 3rd picture and thats why you can see the mountain on the left and in the 2nd picture he was up the runway alittle more
besides that the distince doesnt seem to change

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

Here several solutions for you to try.

1) Video card driver issues
2) Direct X issues
3) Bad Video Memory
4) that texture got ass screwed on patch loading possibly bad write
5) bad sector on hdd (very highly doubt it)

I don't have any of these problems with my Nvidia nor did the patch decrease view distance. I actually found with the 1.03 patch I was able to increase my resolution and quality settings due to the memory usage fixes on the menu system.

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

I have CONFIRMED this is a v1.03 issue.

I installed drivers 78.05, 81.82, and 81.84 and ALL driver versions gave this bug. I even tried various graphics options in-game.

This bug was NOT present with v1.02 but I cannot seem to get rid of it in v1.03.

I only seem to notice it on runways and helipads...

I'll keep trying different settings in the nVidia control panel and in-game and see if I can find out anything...

THIS BUG SUCKS!!!

Its only a graphical bug, it doesnt effect gameplay at all, it would be more understandable that your annoyed if it was pink or something. Some people seem to be overexaggerating about this....

What irks me is that ANY noticeable graphical bug like this can be introduced after they claim to have 'extensively' tested the patch and even pushed back release of the patch to ensure 'quality'.

It certainly isn't going to make me stop playing the game or even revert back to v1.02.

But it IS going to make me spend countless hours with various driver versions, tweaks, settings changes, and control panel fidgeting in an attempt to resolve the problem on my own

I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my games.

you said that all dirvers you have tried had the problem. i give you drivers you havent tried.

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.

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

Yeah I noticed the draw distances are different, not in the map he put pictures of but in other maps.
