NO HDR and High settings in patch 1.0.0.9

[LcSummers]

Hi mates,

 

have the new patch (1.0.0.9) installed and cant set HDR , texture and scences to high. I have Win7 32bit.

 

Can someone confirm me that this feature is not implemented on 32 bit systems?

Will this feature implemented in the future?

 

How can i set texture, scences settings to high in the config and where to find?

 

Thank you for any help.

Feature.. it's been there since 1.0.0.8.

It is because you have win X32. HDR and high textures are only available for X64. A-10c is less stable on wX32 systems.

You should be able to force HDR on through the config file. Textures don't know.

Correct - recommended system requirements are 64-bit. As for future implementation, in all probability unlikely due to the RAM restrictions inherent to 32-bit systems.

Thank you for these informations guys.:pilotfly:

in 1.0.0.8 you could change HDR to on manually, haven't tried it in .09 yet.

There is a config file that prevents some settings to show up in the ingame graphic options screen for the 32bit version of the game. It is cockpit shadows, textures high, scenes high, civ traffic high, MSAA 8-16 and HDR is forced off.

It's because these settings may cause game stability issues on most 32bit systems.

 

I have Vista 32 and was kind of disappointed I could not set the textures to high and that HDR was forced off since patch 1.0.0.8 though I always had no problems before.

But now I run the sim with high textures, HDR and cockpit shadows (again), without any serious problems (sometimes during the landing approach I have like a 0.5s lag/stutter! :D)

The only showstopper are scenes set to high.

Hi NIKI75,

 

how do you enable HDR, cockpit shadows and high textures? Is this possible only with Vista 32?

 

Could you please show me where to enable those settings?

I didnt had any problems too with patch 1.0.0.7.

 

Please help me to enable those settings.

 

 

Cheers

Hello LC!

 

You have to edit the optionsData.lua located in your DCS A-10\MissionEditor\data\scripts subfolder. I did it with notepad++ because I'm not sure if it works with the windows notepad/texteditor.

 

Graphic options begin in line 265.

Some of the options (scene high, textures high...) have a onlyArch64 = true behind them. Just set them to false.

Save the file (backup first!) and start your game. All options are available now in the ingame graphics menu.

 

Do it on your own risk and don't complain if the sim stutters with high settings, if you get CTD's or the game even vanishes into thin air! :D

 

In case you are too lazy to edit the file yourself, i have uploaded it. All restrictions disabled - you can turn on every option (HDR and cockpit shadows) and to high settings.

 

Here you go: http://uploaded.to/file/orwv671i

Which is the best quailty HDR?

[EtherealN]

They don't differ in quality, they differ in style. Select the one you like most.

I am sorry JC, it's working fine for me.

Have you edited the file on your own or are you using my file? When does it CTD?

Hi Niki,

 

thanks first of all for your response.

 

Its working for you. So it must working for me too.

 

I have used your file, so i think this was the problem.:(

NOW I WILL EDIT MY OWN FILE!!

 

Cheers

I used also Niki's file and for me it's working fine.

If with the original file you get no CTD, than just change the lines you are interested in.

[LcSummers]

Thanx guys!!

 

Great, its working now!! Niki you saved me:thumbup:

 

COOOOLLLL!!!!:pilotfly:

 

Ciao and greetings

I saved you? :D

How did you manage it? What was wrong with it before?

[PeterP]

Niki,

I highly recommend you should upload the file to the user files section that everyone how searches for a this solution will have quick access to it :

http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/

as a DCS 1.1.0.9 Mod -including a backup and a read-me that warns the people that they may have performance difficulties and the developers don't support this high settings at a 32bit system.

As i mentioned, i manually edited those file.

 

Using your downloaded file, installing it caused a CTD. Rolling it back with my backup file didnt helped anyway.

 

 

So i installed A-10C from the scratch, edited my optionsData.lua file and VOILÀ. :thumbup:

 

HDR and high settings are running well.

 

Thanx buddy.

Since the file I've uploaded caused CTD's for LcSummers and I am not able to reproduce that, I think it's not a good idea to upload it as a usual mod. Maybe I can start a new thread (with an adequate description) in the Tech Support forum where I give instructions how to manually edit the file.

Though I don't know if this is conform to the forum rules or/and to what the developers were trying to achieve with those "64bit-only-settings".

Hello,

 

I had a same issue with patch 1.1.0.9. I have a Win7 X64 but if the settings are onlyArch64 = true no HDR and other features. If I edit the mentioned config file and set to all onlyArch64 = false it works...
