aloke Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Hello! I'm new here an sorry for my english, i'm from Martinica (French West Indies) I have noticed that many people experience graphic issue in Lock On, especially those who own an Nvidia based video card. Personaly, i've two computer based on Nvidia card (one with an AGP 6800GT and the other with an AGP 6600GT, both system's CPU are Athlon 64 3400+) I've got that kind of graphic "artifacts" (corrupted odd sky texture, corrupted info bar, bad shadow casts, etc.) in Lock On (ver 1.01, 1.02, 1.1 and 1.2). Indeed, I especially upgraded recently to Flaming Cliffs hopping that the problem would not occur anymore but I was wrong. I know what you guy will tell me, but it's not a problem with the video card. Indeed, Lock on is the ONLY ONE game that give me that kind of issue. I can play hours and hours many games (Oblivion, Act of War, IL2 FB, PES 5, ...) with no problem at all. My computers are VERY stable (good memory, good system files, no conflicts then no system failure at all) The 6800GT fan is always on and the temperature do not exceed 65° C (that's far below the warning threshold). I've already tried to reinstall Windows XP with SP1, with SP2, I've tried too different Forceware version (81.95, 91.28, 91.31, 91.33). Note that the problem occur more often when High Settings are enabled and very often in A-10 and SU-33 missions. I've heard that some codec pack may interfere with Lock On, I have Ace Codec pack on the other computer (6600GT) and no codec at all on the 6800GT computer: same problem. Considering the number of complaints I reported on many forums, I can definetly say that Lock On needs special optimisation and tweak for some Nvidia cards. But the question is... which and where? :noexpression: Somebody have a suggestion about that? Am I wrong ? Peace.
am39exocet Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I 've an ATI card and i perhaps the problem it is the Pixel Shaders , due to i used an ATI8500 and no problem even if the water is not perfect .. I've similar problems with Pacific fighters ( Ubisoft too)
aloke Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 Yes I thought so. But How can I disable Pixel Shader? Is this a lossless quality operation? I think that I have to do with the graphics.ini files in LockOn\Config directory. Any suggestion?
igsoft2000 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Why don't you try to change your graphic renderer (something lik Dx8default.dll on the top of graphics.cfg file) to nv4_disp.dll. This solved my 12month old weather.dll with AA problem with bonus of shaper texture image quality and unbelivable FPS difference. I can not grantee this will fix your problem but this tweak was the best tweak I've ever done on lockOn.
