Ranger33 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Graphics improvement: depth of field It was stated that the screenshots were not photoshopped. Since the newer ones show a depth of field effect, i assume that will be one of the enhancements. Can anyone confirm this? I assumed some of the shots were doctored a tad, since some are far higher quality than others. Would be cool but I doubt it. Edit: For example, this one vs this one. One of these things is not like the others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix_45 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That looks so cool, I'm turning back my shadows on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The second one is mine and I can assure you that I do not touch up my screenshots at all. I would say that the main difference between the two is that the first uses Heavy haze and is zoomed while the second is not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hmm. Same thing with these I guess? The game would look so much better if there was some kind of depth of field or filter to smooth out the razor sharp edges on everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Dunno, because neither of those are mine. I have to confess, the Wespe picture does look like it's been blurred though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Could the difference also be attributable to different capabilities of the respective video cards? I.e., some are better than others and deliver higher rez, sharper, contrastier images? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael This comment caused me to look at my graphics settings and discover that I have been playing on "balanced" this whole time. Maxed everything out and lo and behold the game does indeed look significantly better. Go figure On the downside, the shadows still glitch out all over the vehicles. That has got to be fixed. If it can't be done soon, at least give us an option to turn on environment shadows only, since they look fine and give the terrain some contrast. My other pet peeve about the graphics is the texture pop in. I'm pretty sure my card, that can run Crysis maxed out, can handle drawing all of the terrain, all of the time. My one final opinion for the night , is that BFC should contract out Aris to do the textures from now on. After using his, the default ones are just..bleh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil stanbridge Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It looks like AA has been turned on and perhaps a heavy AF applied? I didn't think Normandy supported Anti-Aliasing however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Re Anti-Aliasing... is that correct that CM games don't support it? I have AA on right now, so is that having a detrimental effect if the game doesn't support it?? I have asked a couple times before for what are the ideal nVidia or video card settings, but have never seen such a recommended list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I've learned that, if you playing the game on a laptop, be sure to enable the Full Power setting. I mistakenly left mine on 'Balanced' or 'Maximum Battery Life' and CMBN slowed to a crawl. Took a couple of days to figure this out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodin Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well my CMBN uses AA....some people I see here don't judging by screenies, but I have no jaggies at all... I have it turnd on in the game menu options and turned on on ATI catalyst. I have AA at 8x wide tent so it becomes x16 and I have AF set to x16. How do you take screenies? I'm doing cntrl print screen then doing paste as new image using gimp but it's just showing my desktop rather than the game..I was going to show a screenie of the settings at 1440x900 res.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Use Fraps to take screenies. As you'v found, windows screen grab doesn't work. GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
