Blocky objects?

[automag928]

Maybe I'm missing some setting somewhere, but I just wanted to make sure. I have done no FPS tweaking, the only thing I have messed with is widening my FOV from the view.lua I've got all my graphics settings as high as they will go, and I'm running a ATI Radeon 5850. Here's what I'm talking about -

 

This is view from the Maverick -

 

And here is me flying over a tank -

 

Any suggestions what I'm screwing up?

 

Thanks!

Interesting, this should not be happening if you haven't fooled around with graphics.cfg.

 

Anyway, please check your settings in graphics.cfg which can be found in Lock On/Config/graphics.cfg (open with notepad).

Then take a look at:

 

Low/Medium/High (whatever you use)

{

near_clip = 0.2;

middle_clip = 4;

far_clip = 80000;

structures = {40, 5000};

trees = {100000, 8000};

dynamic = {300, 20000};

objects = {3000, 50000};

mirage = {3000, 15000};

surface = {14000, 80000};

lights = {100, 30000};

lod = 1;

 

Make sure this setting is at or above 1. Next to that, make sure you have no mods installed which affect the level of detail of objects.

 

Other than this, I would not know.

I checked my graphics.cfg file and here is what it shows... my LOD is 1.5 Could that be causing problems?

 

Camera

{

current = "High";

Low

{

near_clip = 4;

far_clip = 60000;

structures = {30, 2000};

trees = {60000, 3000};

dynamic = {300, 20000};

objects = {3000, 40000};

mirage = {3000, 10000};

surface = {10000, 50000};

lights = {50, 10000};

lod = 0.7;

}

Medium

{

near_clip = 0.2;

middle_clip = 4;

far_clip = 80000;

structures = {40, 5000};

trees = {100000, 8000};

dynamic = {300, 20000};

objects = {3000, 50000};

mirage = {3000, 15000};

surface = {14000, 80000};

lights = {100, 30000};

lod = 1;

}

High

{

near_clip = 0.2;

middle_clip = 4;

far_clip = 80000;

structures = {200, 10000};

trees = {200000, 20000};

dynamic = {300, 20000};

objects = {5000, 80000};

mirage = {5000, 20000};

surface = {20000, 80000};

lights = {200, 80000};

lod = 1.5;

}

}

Nope all is fine....must be something else....can't come up with anything at this moment :noexpression:

[A.S]

this LOD is a mulitplicator of modellod.txt LOD values.

 

example ...LOD 10000 (m) x 1.0 (lod gfx.cfg) = switch to lower LOD at 10.000m

......Maybe I'm missing some setting somewhere, but I just wanted to make sure....

 

First - Don't be Shy with the AA: Crank it up to 24X/32X. Card will handle it and Prevents the inevitable Jaggie-Inflicted Skullfcuk.

 

Next - Download and install the linked Mod with Modman and see if that makes a difference:

Let us know how it works out :)

[Brit_Radar_Dude]

Viper - that Mod you linked for automag928......

 

Is it FC only or 1.02 as well?

Defintely does improve, but I still can still get to visual range and see a box before it changes to the actual vehicle.

Honestly No Idea - Never tried it on 1.02

Could be a settings issue with the LandLod values.
