Graphics hit since 1.12

[18Zulukiller]

I was just wondering has anyone else had a drop in there graphics detail since the 1.12 patch. On the older patch everything used to look really smooth but now when i get up close to anything say an apc it looks very blocky (the detail i mean). Ive updated everything software wise that i can but it still dosnt look the same and i really missing the old detail.

in case anyone asks gf = ati x740 128mb not a great card but it came with the machine.

In SF i had a pretty big drop in FPS but besides that the detail is still good with me

I have, BF2 hasn't been the same since the new patch, I thought it was just me that was suffering from graphics problems, BF2 was running smooth at medium settings for me before the patch now I have to play with a mix of med/low with no AA. I've only got 6600GT 128ddr3 pci graphics card but I would expect better than what Im getting now.

When I installed SF and 1.12 my video settings were lowered for some reason, check yours.

Some cards had their settings set to low, spesh Nvidia. I believe its a memory leak issue, I can no longer play on High and the game will only run decently on medium. Just a dodgy patch.

Do you recon they will sort it or will we be stuck like this? I thought a patch was meant to improve things not make things worse? Maybe its just me.

A new patch is in the making, but they haven't said that they're working on performance tweaks/corrections.
It would be nice if we could roll back to patch 1.03 and play that - but there aren't many players or servers around. I only find two European ranked servers running 1.03, a Swiss and an Italian one - five players on one, the other is empty.

Patches are meant to fix and improve things, it's not just you! However, DICE/EA obviously never learned this..

They should work on that first. The gameplay fixes they are implemented are about as useful as if you let a biased 8 year old make the decisions on how to "fix" the "problems". Performance and major bugs should be looked at first I say.

But yeah, the graphics are screwed up, the cockpit in the MiG-29 distorts like it's underwater when you approach 200,000 feet, wtf is up with that?

The 1.12 halves (or worse) fps for quite a lot of people, see my rant and poll on the EA forums for more info:

Re: Graphics hit since 1.12

I have had no drop in quality. I have noticed the black outlines - this seems to be an antialiasing glitch and has always been present in parts of the game: especially when youre in a vehicle.

A couple of times i have gotten huge random triangles appearing on the screen depending on the direction i look (south for example) Looks like the sort of error you get when theres a visibilty glitch (H.O.M. type thing). This has happened twice: once since the patch and once ages ago.

I have also noticed (since the patch):
-some models getting distorted i.e. the actual mesh being stretched
-the UV cordinates of textures get messed up totally
-textures getting stretched and clamped weirdly
-odd random blobs of colour on some surfaces (that are visible to other players - which is weird)
-glowing red blobs on my hands
-the sky texture seems to be clamped incorrectly
-the localisation files seem buggered (my sniper pistol is sometimes refered to as a m-444)

But the framerate is fine.

Thats all i can think of. I tried to get a screenshot of one of them but it crashed the computer so im not going to try it again.

Im having no problems with my fps just the detail if i look at a shodow close the edge of the shadow will be just a load of triangles. Similar to when i get to lose to an apc it goes from a nice smoth graphic to a bunch of weird looking squares.

p.s. someone said doing the settings as the patch puts them lower well thats the first thing i did ive got 1064 * 780 60hz everything on medium (same as ive alwasy have done) . Ive even turned AA to the highest setting my fps stays the same but the details still messed up.

You are right. If they actually skip the gameplay fixes and just implement the "new goodies" notice my quotes "" , Ill be very ****ed. Hell like that last guy said - roll us back to 1.03 if needs be. What i noticed that has me a little skeptical:

1. Bf2 was released and had many major bugs ,
----In the mean time talk of the next expansion was all we heard
2. We were told of a coming patch with 140+ fixes to fix the issues.
----We got nothing even relatively close to that number and some "fixes" actually got worse ie: Name tag bug , and AA missle accuracy
3. The expansion was released and has much more bugs and runs much much more inefficiently than bf2
----- we already have some of their talk and ideas for an upcoming expack.
4. We are told of some major improvements through a new patch:
----- None of which seem to include any peroformance/ bug fixes
"ofcourse you can argue we dont know what the patch will entirey include" but wouldnt #1 on the list of items be optimizations? or bug fixes?

And please do not tell me that the aa will be fixed in this upcoming patch - we heard that from ea the last time for patch 1.03.... everyone needs to remember this and stop rejoicing about the fixed aa missles comign in the next patch. Lets wait and see, again.

Thats weird. I have a 6600LE PCI-e and run everything on full (except textures on med.) with 4x AA and it runs fine. Although mine is 256 i guess.

Re: Graphics hit since 1.12

I am having a minor issue since 1.12.

2gb ram with a BFG 6800GT OC

the problem I see now is only when I go in for a bombing run and when I get close to the ground most of the time the game stutters like crazy now and sometimes I get a 'lag death'. Not sure what is causing it but I remember before the patch I had one video setting on medium and since the patch everything is on High. I guess I'll have to play with the settings some to see what might be causing it.
