Low resolution cockpit and menu screen.

[TBbadmofo]

My cockpit labels are extremly low resolution, I can't make out anything. Also when I launcher multiplayer, the entire screen is really low resolution. The main menu is fine, where you set the wallpaper and change settings. It wasn't like this before, I just haven't played for awhile. My friend tried this game out yesterday and he was having the same problem and he has NVidia. In CCC I've change all the settings that can be to "Use Application Settings" and updated to the latest drivers. I have my game settings to the highest graphic settings, and the textures set to 1024. I've even tried deleting the entire game and reinstalling and nothing changed.

 

I am using DCS on Steam.

 

Due to me testing all kind of graphic settings and the fact the first launcher's resolution is fine and the second launcher's loading screen and GUI are low resolution, I think there's just a bug with the second launcher.

 

Here's what it looks like.

 

 

 

 

Here's what the main menu looks like(No Problem):

 

 

 

When you click like campaign or multiplayer for instance and the game closes and launches something else. This is what the loading background looks like in the second launcher.

 

 

 

And here's what the loading background looks like in the first launcher(No Problem).

 

 

 

Here are my CCC settings and game settings. I've tried every kind of CCC setting nothing changes.

Adding more info

Hi TB.

 

If you have a Radion card try turning off Moropological Filtering in your CCC.

Might be the same for Nvidia, not sure on that as haven't got one!

[TBbadmofo]

I've updated the OP with some more info.

 

Hey Caspet, thanks for the response.

 

I've never had Morphological Filtering on. Since the GUI in the second launcher is messed up, I think there's something wrong with the second launcher. I am using the Steam version btw but it is using the latest version.

Hi TBbadmofo

 

What card do you have and which driver are you using ?

 

I have a 7850 oc 2gb and using 13.11

 

these are my settings and they work for me. I used to have the same problem but can not remember what I did to fix it.

 

[TBbadmofo]

Except as mentioned, my friend with Nvidia has the same problem.

 

I'm running 2 Radeon HD 5850's 1GB each in cross fire. I've tried disabling crossfire as well still no luck. I've matched my settings to yours as well BIGNEWY, no change. Are you running DCS on Steam? I'm using 13.11 CCC as well I've tried the beta and older versions also.

[BIGNEWY]

no I run stand alone version.

 

have you ever used radeon pro or any other tool before? maybe a conflict in settings.

[BIGNEWY]

found the old thread have a look

might be some help.

 

I am sure when I had the issue it was mipmap settings but I do not see that in the latest ccc

[javelina1]

ATI/AMD Radeon - that's the problem.

Nvidia GeForce is the solution.

 

Sorry, couldn't help it. :)

 

Probably should have a sticky for the AMD/ATI related FPS questions, etc...

[TBbadmofo]

I don't have a mip map setting. I'll try the 12.8 driver if I can find it. Right now I'm downloading the stand alone to try that, but when I download the last file that's 2.48 MBs it asks for a username and password.

[TBbadmofo]

Well, it seems the stand alone is using the same settings as my Steam version.

 

BIGNEWY, can you paste your options.lua file located at C:\Users\(USERNAME)\Saved Games\DCS\Config

 

Nevermind, I deleted the folder and let the default be created, still doesn't work.

Mipmap settings causes lo-res in DSC World

 

TBbadmofo

 

Your graphics problems sounds excalty like I had; the simple solution after 3 hrs of digging turned out to be "mipmap" -setting in 3D card(see attachement). Find something similar in your system and you'll be fine!

[TBbadmofo]

Thanks Howard, although as you can see from my 2nd to last picture in the OP I did not have this setting but since you were so sure it was mipmap settings I did some googling and found that if I changed the preferences from advanced view to standard view that I could then see the MipMap settings. And this indeed did fix my problem. Thanks!
