erinandmichael2002 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Tried searching, so apologies if I missed it. Destroyed vehicles are not showing either smoke/fire - is this part of the "no fog" problem with ATI/Windows 7? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 No, fog-table (pixel fog) support is a separate issue. Not all destroyed vehicles are going to be on fire and smoking (as far as I'm aware). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streety Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Tech Support - you probably ought to at least ask them to clarify whether they mean some or ALL their destroyed vehicles, EVER, just to make sure. Although I don't know how legitimate others' claims have been in the past, some have posted about smoke etc with some ATI cards/setups. And if it isn't related to those issues, and they never see smoke and fire, then erinandmicheal2002 might still have some other problem. Hi Erinandmicheal2002. It isn't the same as the fog issue, and not all destroyed vehicles burn and/or smoke. But are you saying none of them at all, ever? Because obviously if some are on fire/smoking then it isn't a graphics/system problem. But if it none of them ever do after playing a few games, then you MIGHT have an ATI graphics card issue - at least, according to other previous posts/threads. If so, then for you (and anyone else coming after who have a similar problem): FIRST - just at least make sure you have smoke turned on (the SHIFT and I keys together, during the game). And if so, as with most problems, always try re-installing the game. And if that don't work, try updating the graphics driver. Still no joy? THEN, at least according to those other threads' messages: 1) Try changing your game's screen resolution (delete the prefs file in the game's folder and restart the game, and set the resolution to a different size than what you had before). 2) If that don't work, try changing your overall graphics properties in the ATI menu by a single notch (you know, from like "quality" to "balanced" or vice versa). 3) Some have said that even though they have Win7, that updating from v1.03 to v1.04 (the Vista patch which some, but not all, Vista users need for the game to work fully) also cleared up various Win7 graphics problems (including smoke - according to at least one poster). This, according to some, is because Win7 is essentially "Vista 2.0". However, I wouldn't be 100% confident of this, and seeing as Battlefront have the cheek to charge for this basic functional patch, I'd consider it a last resort. So before doing that I'd post your graphics card's exact name here and hope someone else has overcome the same issue, just in case it's some other problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinandmichael2002 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks for the replies all! I just recently reinstalled CMAK and in my mind I remember most destroyed vehicles showing something to visually indicated that they were destroyed! So maybe my memory is faulty, or maybe I just haven't played long enough with the new install to see it. Streety, I will try your suggestions. thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey erin, Schrullenhaft is correct in that not all vehicles KOed are always Smoked or on Fire. From most of my CMAK experience over the years ( including CMBB ) about 25-50% of KOed Vehicles will be Smoked or on Fire during any given Battle.

Erwin Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 FYI: There is a CM1 mod in existance that increases the frequency that KO'd vehicles will burn and smoke. I think I have it, but not sure where it came from. Obviously, we're going back a decade(!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey Erwin, That Mod sounds interesting...If you can find that CM1 Mod, can you post it here, or PM/Email it to me. Thanks... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
