Installing Win10 update seems to erase all CM custom settings in NVIDIA control panel?

[Bulletpoint]

Well, like the topic says: I just installed the Windows 10 "creators' update", and noticed the screen started flickering when I play CM, like it does when G-SYNC has been enabled.

I then went to the NVIDA control panel to check my custom profile for the game, and I can't find any profiles for Combat Mission Normandy, neither the various demos I downloaded (CMRT, CMFB). so it seems that the update process has somehow wiped these custom settings?

My other game settings remain though, so it's really strange.

Anyway long story short: If you have an NVIDIA card and installed the update, you might want to check if it deleted your profile.

That happens with big system updates and each time I patch/upgrade the games. It might even have happened with some driver updates. I can always tell though as I play on a laptop with integrated graphics card (apart from the nviidia one) and CM always defaults to it causing the game to become a blurry mess.

Alright, thanks. I wasn't aware it was a well-known issue.First time I see it, myself.

It might differ what graphics card you have and if it is on laptop or stationary.

It happened to me as well with my Nvidia card

On my computer, the only setting that has a real impact is the Vertical sync: on (half refresh rate). The rest of the settings I haven't even bothered to put back where they were, and I see next to no graphical difference. Should probably put anisotrophic filtering back to max though. It has some effect when you look alongside a building for example.

This thread has a post or two on the subject of settings:

How does it make it look better? I'm currently reviewing all suggested nvidia settings to find what works for me and a buddy I play PBEM with.

It makes textures such as the sides of buildings look better when viewed at a shallow angle, like when you look down along the side of a house. With bilinear and trilinear filtering, the textures become blurry at such angles, and anisotropic filtering makes them clearer. I think you only really notice it when you use a high resolution building texture mod though. Not sure the stock textures are detailed enough to make a difference if they blur a bit or not.
