xian Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Despite playing with the latest Mac version of CMBN I am still getting some graphical weirdness. I've had a tank commander sit on the barrel of his tank's gun, I've also experienced an AT gun crew set up in front of their gun! And here I include an HMG team firing from an odd angle (see image). Are PC users also experiencing these glitches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yes. BF.C is aware of these issues. Thanks for posting and including the screenshot. (Hopefully, there'll be a solution forthcoming.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, it's not a Mac thing. Don't worry, your reports from July are stuck firmly in my to-do list. There have been bigger fish to fry post-1.01. Hopefully we'll be able to fix some of these for the next patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Wow - good memory Phil! Great Work so far - by far the best game for many years. Actually when I think about it, best game since CMAK. FYI my top three game elements that I really miss (not mentioning armour arc): 1. Flammable terrain and buildings. 2. Anti-Aircraft Capability 3. Troops on Tanks Is there a chance that any of these will make it into CMBN? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 This can't be good for the gunner's health! Not the first time I've seen an AT team member sit in front of his gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 1 and No 3 I think are going to be in the East front titles..though fire might make the Bulge game..hopefully. We wont get any major new features in CMBN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What about fixing the shadows? Its really frustrating that at certain angles they are wonderful and add so much depth to the models, but then you move the camera and it turns into a total mess. Not to mention shadows showing up on both sides of solid metal plates. If the vehicle self-shadows can't be fixed, I would love to see an option to only have shadows cast on the ground and not on the vehicle itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Add the weird wavy effect seen on the textures when viewing plowed fields from a certain angle. It's a very ugly effect and one I'd rate right up there with the shadows. (And no, mods do not fix this). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've started getting this very odd 'flaps of skin' effect with my troops. Does anyone know which options setting might be responsible for this? It's odd, because I have been playing the game since it was released and this has only just started happening. The only new mods I've included are 'terrain' mods.

Baneman Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Changed your monitor at all ? I had that for a time and there was some conflict with the screen resolution/refresh rate. But shortly after the problem occurred, I got a new monitor and it all went away again. Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyriErik Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I get the same effect regularly at certain viewing setting 4. Haven't had it happen at other settings so it doesn't really worry me. Jyri 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Here´s another one. From "Le Hamelet" the 4th battle of "The Road to Montebourg Campaign". There is NO gap in the bocage here - only some sort of graphical glitch that makes it look that way. I fould out when I tried to send troops a few metres onto the other side of the bocage - and they instead embarked on the grand detour around the map. And got themselves killed. Very annoying.

xian Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Which Mod are you using for the Bocage? Is is the Aris terrain mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yes, I am using Aris´terrain mod. Though I must admit, I´m not sure about the effect of it. It seemed hard to spot any significant difference, when I installed it at first (but maybe that was due to my GPU settings). Could the mod be the problem? Edit: Just tried to remove Aris Terrain from my "z" folder. This had no effect: The gap is still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necramonium Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The mg crew that is sitting completely wrong is something i see allot on my pc version, like when they retreated and set up in a crater, the MG is set up on the edge of the crater and the operator is in the center and can't be hit by my troops, you only saw his mg shooting at my troops like a radiocontroller MG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting to open the map in the editor and check to see if it is a legitimate gap in the boccage or merely a graphical aberration.

Erwin Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I really appreciate that the latest terrain mods have mud around real gaps to help more easily distinguish them from "fake" gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Os 10.6.8 Intel Core Duo 2.8Ghz 4GB RAM 256MB Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro With 10.6.8's drivers being pretty stable, I'd lean more toward something happening with your card. Your hardware may be failing. The terrain mods could also be straining your drivers, though. Which would of course be the preferable thing. Try removing the terrain mods and see if you can reproduce the problem, then give me a shout or update here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xian Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Phil, It does indeed occur without any mods but only seems to happen with some maps and not others. It is more likely when zoomed out and if the model detail is set to low. I agree, though, that my graphics card isn't really up to the job. From many of the screenshots posted here by members I can see that my card is somewhat below par. Other than that I think that my iMac is fine and is not the issue. From 'Silence the Guns' no Mods: P.S. Good to hear about rez tools for the Mac at some future date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get those, but only when I'm zoomed out a certain bit. I'm sure it's my graphics card. It's an old, old, old RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700. Shoot, my rig's almost 10 years old. It doesn't bother me that much. I just try to stay zoomed in a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yes! The Lurching Bat Soldiers! Very well expressed. That's exactly what they look like - or maybe even a cross between Quasimodo ("The Bells!, The Bells!") and a weird 'Hammer Horror' Homunculus. Nice to know I'm not alone with the bat boys and their bat flaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 i just upgraded to an Nvidea GT430 sys is 6 years of age. i was getting these bat-wingers, at certain distances, AFTER i had modified some of my display settings. just mess about with those 'fast-faster' settings, they did help and i've not seen them since i tweaked the options! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
