Title: Graphics look low res Post by: ubiquitous on July 13, 2014, 08:36:52 PM 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 (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! Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: lockie on July 13, 2014, 09:02:19 PM Make all necessary changes in the config file:
data\k42\loc_rus\config\config.engcfg then mark it as attribute `read only`. Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: ubiquitous on July 13, 2014, 09:13:36 PM 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: Code: //äèðåêòèâû ïðåïðîöåññîðà Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: lockie on July 13, 2014, 09:51:41 PM I see that a couple entries missed:
Code: //thrust to setting Here's my config: http://www.4shared.com/file/F3Wi0ASJce/config.html Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: frinik on July 14, 2014, 04:16:49 AM 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...

Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: frinik on July 14, 2014, 09:31:21 AM 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. ;)
Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Skiv on July 14, 2014, 11:11:51 AM Oh my lord, I forgot how can this game be so beautiful. Even for an '07 game.
Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Flanker15 on July 14, 2014, 11:46:29 AM There is an option in the game that is something along the lines of no video mode restrictions you have to switch on.
Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Donken on July 14, 2014, 02:59:35 PM Oh my lord, I forgot how can this game be so beautiful. Even for an '07 game. Im with you on that!

My 5.1 shakes my home, I am sure that I also make my neighbors completely crazy ! Thank you Frinik !!! ;D :D ::) ...It's awesome, Thank you Graviteam and all the mod team ! ;) BTW, are installed in these screens via jsgme: Sound Mod (NTA) 1.1 Missions_pack_1.2 Missions_pack_2.1 SPM (NTA) 1.8 full(beta) Missions_pack_3.62 MayUpd_2014 JulUpd_2014 Free Camera Mod (Eng) Autumn mod Autumn_late mod Whukid's Late War skins (1944-1945) Friniks_201407 Alternatives Schemes Now my parameters in game.

Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: frinik on July 14, 2014, 04:24:58 PM Good work ! Keep your wife deaf!!!! ;D
What about your Nvidia control pannel 3d settings?You know the morphological filtering, anisotropic filtering etc.... Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Wörghern on July 14, 2014, 04:42:45 PM 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. (http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/692862param1.jpg) (http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/876153param2.jpg) Below, I'm sharing to you my sweetfx 1.5.1 settings ;) http://www.4shared.com/office/TEmpARmTba/SweetFX_settings.html Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: ubiquitous on July 14, 2014, 07:42:34 PM 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. Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: frinik on July 14, 2014, 08:03:55 PM Cool!Make sure you post your config and Nvidia settings if you keep having problems....
Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Kyth on July 15, 2014, 12:52:52 PM 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. Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: yl9961027 on July 15, 2014, 01:37:22 PM Unfortunately, this is not alone. Have a look my friend's experience.

I have also encountered the same problem. But I was back to normal after restart computer. Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: kapulA on July 15, 2014, 02:39:56 PM SF - Panzer Elite mode? :P

Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: ubiquitous on July 15, 2014, 05:17:19 PM For me this problem was fixed by installing the full version. No real config tweaks were necessary, I just set every option on max and was away:
(http://i.imgur.com/o5WujbT.jpg) yl9961027's screenshot indeed looks very much like the experience I had with the demo. Are you able to post the information Wörghern asked for along with the config file? Also, did your friend try the demo to see if the same thing happens there?

Frinik send it to me there is two days ago and it is not concerning unessential dialogues/speeches...However, thank you for the link, I did not know about it and it greatly interested me. ;) Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: frinik on July 16, 2014, 05:44:02 AM Just to clarify what I sent Woerghern( at his request) are tweaks to the common res( fire, smoke, etc) , new shots, engine, tracks and expl sounds... he made a mod out of it. BTW Woerghern I like your Alternative Schemes very much please make them public! They are my default camo and textures now. :D
Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: ubiquitous on July 16, 2014, 05:42:46 PM So, what do you think about it ? :) So far, I like this game a lot. I am always on the look our for new "hardcore" military games (I started to put together a list on my blog at http://ubiquitousgame.wordpress.com/hardcore-military-games/, but it needs more work). Things I like so far:
Things that I dislike or am undecided about:
On the issue of a quick mission generator: I saw from the editor manual that missions seem to basically be plain text files. I therefore wonder if it would be feasible to write a small application that randomly generates a mission from a set of pre-specified components. I need to investigate this possibility more carefully. Overall, I have been impressed by the game, which has filled a gap in my collection where a credible tank simulator should have been. I have already ordered a copy of Steel Armor: Blaze of War. Edit: I just tried the NTA mod, which is extremely cool. I'm seriously impressed by the scope of what the community has put together and am certainly no longer wanting for tanks to drive or missions to drive them in. :) Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Wörghern on July 17, 2014, 10:41:17 AM Just to clarify what I sent Woerghern( at his request) are tweaks to the common res( fire, smoke, etc) , new shots, engine, tracks and expl sounds... he made a mod out of it.

Of course, I plan to release a version of my alternative Schemes when it will be ready ;) For the while, I concentrate my efforts on the correction of uvws maps and meshes of the Tiger with the autorisation of Donken ;) Title: Re: Graphics look low res Post by: Wörghern on July 17, 2014, 11:07:54 AM So, what do you think about it ? :) So far, I like this game a lot.

This is the sequel of Achtung Panzer; Operation Star, a Tactical company simulator, much better than Battlefront licenses. It combines the best of all these games, Close Combat, Combat Mission, Theatre of War and much more. BTW, very nice blog :) |
