    beware...on my ATI Radeon Xpress 200M 128 Mb VRAM CMSF v1.02 has excellent graphics...but when I installed patches from v1.03 to v1.05 graphics is unsatsfactory

    Same here. I run it on my laptop for travel and quick games and it has a Xpress 200M installed as well.

    A little tip here: set the unit detail on a higher setting and reduce the texture detail setting. It will improve the graphics (in that the models don't jump back to basic models so often, as that is what I think you mean with 'unsatisfactory graphics'?). Performance varies highly during a scenario. </font>

    playing only v1.03...bad graphics for me with v1.04...

    anyway I think that the issue is with overwriting save game files...by restarting the campaign without overwriting files the game runs fine

    In my Thunder Campaign Ash Shammas scenario the game crashes approximately at 45.00 time.

    No previously saved game can be run without crashing with notice: Offset 0019bc5f.

    I restarted the campaign and I had the same result with a different Offset.

    Saved games available.

    Well...I'm so sorry, but I have to say that till now I haven't found a so long awaited game that disappointed me so much...maybe it's my computer, but I could run fine any other game.

    1.04:why as much graphic loss?

    Dan/California is correct in the sense that the majority of people have reported v1.04 being a LOT better than v1.03. However, there are issues which could make some people disagree with this. Primarily from people that were quite happy with v1.03's graphics and performance.

    Everything is a delicate balance. It was clear to us that the balance we had in v1.03 was not good enough for the majority of customers. So we made many fundamental code changes to address this. From a simple number standpoint, those changes were a huge success. Far more people are playing the game at very good framerates than before. BUT...

    Depending on the card, specific settings, and the scenario some people may notice some decreases from what they had in v1.03. Perhaps we can fix some of these things, perhaps not. It's very hard to tell. However, if nothing improves beyond v1.04 we'll not change things back to the way they were in v1.03. That's because the majority are happy with v1.04 over v1.03 and it is the majority that we must cater to.

    thank you.

    But i was accustomed to a beautiful and playable play. :D </font>

    well...it would be advisable that patches to gameplay, such as improved blast movement, etc., should be separated from patches to FPS/graphics improvement :rolleyes:

    v1.04: FPS at the prejudice of LOD?

    I ask because I have a 7900 GTX w. 163.71 drivers and have not noticed any issues.

    The icons look the same, the mid- far- terrain looks about the same or better than before, partly since I have been able to bump up texture quality and partly because grass gets drawn further out which improves the overall look.

    ATI Mobility Radeon 200M Series 128Mb VRAM

    However the question is: Why a difference in graphics between v1.03 and v1.04?

    If not, I think some more options would allow the individual player to set these 2 elements in the right way for his machine..

    For example now people have even extremely good FPS, even too much. So they would be kinder to sacrifice some for more quality. On the other hand someone might be getting the right sufficient amount of FPS now and so won't do anything.

    In any case I think that more graphic options would do the thing.

    fully agreed!
