Graphics look low res

[ubiquitous]

Hello all. I recently discovered SFk42 and decided to give the demo a try. Like others I have seen, I receive a warning in game saying that my video card has less than 128mb RAM. I set all of the graphics settings to max and start the game, but my graphics look like this:

http://i.imgur.com/bbWzvYW.jpg

It looks like it's running at a super low resolution, even when it is running at my monitor's native res of 1920x1200. I have tried changing the resolution to various settings and aspect ratios (both via the menu and via the config file), and also changing the LOD settings in the config file, but without success. This seems like the kind of game I'd love, but I am reluctant to buy the full version without knowing whether it is compatible with my system. My specs are:

i7950, GeForce GTX 760 (2GB), 12GB DDR3, Win 7 64bit.

Does anyone know the cause of this and whether (a) there is a fix, or (b) this affects the demo but not the full game?

Thanks!

Make all necessary changes in the config file:
data\k42\loc_rus\config\config.engcfg
then mark it as attribute `read only`.

Thanks for the reply lockie. I tried your suggestion, but still get the same results as before .

The game seems to be running in the correct resolution (I can see my monitor switch to the resolution I chose and when I take a screenshot it has the expected dimensions). However, irrespective of the resolution the graphics look pixellated. I can't see anything  in the settings that would obviously cause this.

The config I am using looks like this:

A couple of words Ubiquitous;

1) Welcome to the forum!

2) SF seem to have a bit of a problem with Nvidia gpus, it's AMD friendly  .Avoid enabling AA in your Nvidia control panel as the game doe not like it. Overclocking is also not recommended. It's a 2007 game so not bad looking but it's never going to look as nice as Crysis 3, BF3 or Far Cry 3...

If Lockie's config does not work for you check with other players like  Wörghern  or 33 Lima I think they have rigs pretty close to yours. Mine are more modest...

As you should see, I play with a similar system to yours. I'm playing with all details full + my own sweetfx parameters. And all is rocking baby !

[frinik]

Woerghern; perhaps you should post your Nvidia control panel 3d settings unless you use Nvidia Inspector or Gpu z? And your settings in game( video settings menu) and finally post your config file.This way Ubiquitous can compare with his own and make the adjustments.

[Skiv]

Oh my lord, I forgot how can this game be so beautiful. Even for an '07 game.

[Flanker15]

There is an option in the game that is something along the lines of no video mode restrictions you have to switch on.

[Donken]

Oh my lord, I forgot how can this game be so beautiful. Even for an '07 game.

Im with you on that! It looks amazingly good

Yeah and you have not heard it ! Seriously, I make my wife crazy, especially this battle; there is war in my living room !!! My 5.1 shakes my home, I am sure that I also make my neighbors completely crazy ! Thank you Frinik !!!

Like Flanker15 said, you have to check no video mode restrictions.

[frinik]

Good work ! Keep your wife deaf!!!!

What about your Nvidia control pannel 3d settings?You know the morphological filtering, anisotropic filtering etc....

[Wörghern]

No more Nvidia inspector configuration since I'm using windows seven. To be honest, this was what I'm using before with vista but since the game work, I have never change or update it. So, here, you could see my nvidia configuration by default.





Below, I'm sharing to you my sweetfx 1.5.1 settings

http://www.4shared.com/office/TEmpARmTba/SweetFX_settings.html

[ubiquitous]

Thanks again for the continued tips. it's very odd because I have tried the same settings as Wörghern or the config file of lockie, but get drastically different results.

I decided to take the plunge and buy the full game to see if this problem is restricted to the demo version. I'll report back with results once I had chance to download and test it.

[frinik]

Cool!Make sure you post your config and Nvidia settings if you keep having problems....

[Kyth]

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but you might want to reinstall DirectX 9 if you haven't done so already.
Just to make sure you're not missing any critical files.

And I assume you're using the latest graphics drivers, that's always useful.

[yl9961027]

Unfortunately, this is not alone. Have a look my friend's experience.



This is not a demo version.
I have also encountered the same problem. But I was back to normal after restart computer.

SF - Panzer Elite mode?

1.What is your OS ?
2.What is your graphic card ?
3.What are your graphics parameters ?
4.What are your settings in game menu ?


S!

Have you tried the fix listed in reply #7 on this page?
