in this screenshot from you, you can see here some squares. will be easier to tell in midday lighting setting:


i think it's a pixel issue. maybe the normal map is too stretched? maybe have normal map be tiled? or maybe it's the texture underneath the normal map layer?

the system is not optimal. why not use one texture normal, one spec, one alpha, one diffuse. combine into one texture, strange artifacts bound to happen.

I see bumps, not squares Smiley
They are not ideal due to texture compression, but nothing special.

I do not really understand what you mean.
SABOW use one spec, one normal, one diffuse and one roughness texture, not combine into one (it not have any sence). All this used as shader input. Alpha not used at all.

And... it's now here! Hurray!!!
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SABW/steel-armor-blaze-of-war

From Gravi's facebook:
- updated to the recent version of GTOS engine
- international version (Eng/Rus in one package; determined from the OS language)
- slightly modified interface and adjusted game mechanics
- revised Iran battlefield and training battlefields
- M60 and T-62 interactive cockpit
- M60 and T-62 driver night vision devices added

If you bought the game earlier, simply redownload it in your library.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Grin

Brilliant time too, just finished another game I had on my 'to play' list. Now to spread the word and get others to join in.


Thanks Graviteam!

EDIT - Out of curiosity, why does it install into the GTOS directory? I changed it, gave it its own folder, will this have a negative impact?...

Don't worry about that, some of the changes will just be a nice surprise for us. Wink

Patch for non-GamersGate versions is still being considered.

Excellent. I re-downloaded it again, does it require the unofficial patch and the core update ?

Downloaded and installed, once that process was complete I launched the game and everything worked perfectly, had a quick look, started a campaign then closed the game.

Just finished real life stuff and was ready to get stuck in but when I try to launch SABOW I get the following message in a small dialogue box...

''critical error

003: Unable to create the rendering device''

edit - uninstalled and reinstalled, still getting the same message, could it be something to do with DX9?

I can't get into the game at all, even after reinstalling, going to retry 3rd download/install

Hi,


Why is the new file size much smaller than the old version?

Downloading 1.75 Gb .. !

Previous downloaded install files = ~ 3.5 Gb

SA_Setup-0.bin .................. 191 KB 
SA_Setup-1.bin ......... 2,049,876 KB
SA_Setup-2.bin ......... 1,526,763 KB


What's missing in new download?


Thanks

Cheers
Tom

Before reinstalling, check if the game folder was completely deleted after you uninstalled the game. If not, delete it manualy. It may be a good idea not to install it in Program files.

Did you update DX9 during the installation?
