Kharnvor Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Anyone know why my trenches look like this? Have I set a graphics setting too low somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It's because of your video drivers, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharnvor Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well it definitely looks like enlarged anti-aliasing of the ground texture, but I played it the first night I got it with my then-current ATI drivers, and a few days later installed the most-recent drivers (released 4/18/07), and it's exactly the same. I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT 128MB. So any suggestions on how to fix it? Do I need to turn on/off AA, AF, the Catalyst AI? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

dmg Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Kharnvor, what mission did you play and in what campaign? Is this a mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharnvor Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Every mission, in the tutorials and the German Campaign. So far I've played 4 missions in the German campaign, and each one has the same thing. I have not modded my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharnvor Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Admittedly, it's a minor detail, but any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmg Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Try the following: run towsetup.exe оr the game and set video settings to low. Then restart the game (if it was run). Do you see the same artifact? Pay more attention to an option "models quality": first of all set it to low and look at the results after restarting the game. Also can you show the whole screen shot of the game when camera facing to trenches and the artifact is visible?

Kharnvor Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 DMG, Thanks for taking a few minutes to help. I set everything as low as it could go, and have the same effect. I didn't still have the full screen shot, so I created new ones from a different mission. So far the artifact is universally present. Here are some screens: I'm going to play around in Catalyst Control Center and see if I can find anything. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmg Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 In Catalyst Control Center pay more attention to options named like 'a texture filtering quality' (or something). Also try to set priority to quality (instead of performance) and vice-versa for all the 3D options. If you find out anything, please, let me know.

Kharnvor Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Ok, I cranked everything in Catalyst Control Center to max, and that eliminated the problem! Sheesh, sorry to have bothered you about this. Thanks for taking the time to help point me in the right direction! I just hope it still plays smoothly with all that AA, AF, mip-mapping, etc. turned on. I don't want to have to flip every little setting to find the one that does the trick. Thanks again! I'm really loving this game, by the way!
