Dakuman Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I was noticing yesterday on some of the larger maps that the buildings seem to disappear as I move farther away with the camera. Strange that I never noticed this before. The trees and other terrain elements don't seem to be affected. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the memory on my computer. I have a 3ghz P4 with 1 gig of Ram and a 256mb Nvidia Geforce 6800 video card. Any help would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 No, it's normal. Buildings beyond a certain distance are not shown. CM was originally published in 2000 to work on 16MB video cards, and even afterwards concessions were made to players with old systems (wargamers tend to not spend big money upgrading their computers). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Your AA/AF settings can effect what gets seen in the far distance, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err... are you sure you know what you're talking about? This is not an anti-aliasing issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakuman Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for the information Sergei and Hpt. Lisse. I'll check my AA settings to see if it makes a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yup. Don't get me wrong, Sergei, your explanation is the primary (correct) one. But if you have an enemy tank 3000m out, the manner that AA/AF filters the tiny object has an effect on graphical visibility. Try it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
