Can´t get Perfect mode to work

[viktor94]

Hi guys,

so I got a new PC and did a fresh install of IL2 1946 patched up to 4.14.1.
Everything works except for the perfect Mode in the graphics section.
Game is running on OpenGL setting but Perfect Mode is still grayed out in the Options Menu.
I already tried to change to Hardwareshaders=1 in the OpenGL section of the conf.ini but after I start the game it resets back to Hardwareshaders=0. :(

PC Specs:
Gigabyte Z590
Intel Core I5-11400F
AMD Radeon 6600 with latest AMD Software 22.10.1
16GB RAM
Windows 10Pro 64bit

Maybe someone can help me with that Problem

Did you also post this over at mission4today. That forum gets more use I think so a better chance of someone helping you.

Hope you get it fixed.

I'm no tech guru, but let's see if I can help ...

Have you maxed out all your graphics settings in the "Setup" panel? From memory, Perfect will be greyed out if you don't have certain fields set high enough. You might also need to be set to your native resolution for Perfect mode (I don't know, but it wouldn't hurt to try).

Setting your config.ini to "Read-only" might work with the hardwareshader issue too, but then you will have to remember that your config is read-only.

If you still can't get it to work, try posting your config.ini here, or at M4T as Marabekm suggested, and someone might be able to see the problem.

And if you can get it working in 4.14.1, be aware that 4.15 is also available now if you want it. :)

[viktor94]

Thank you for your input.

Graphics Panel is all maxed out. I also checked if my conf.ini was read only and its not.

I also upgraded to 4.15.1 and it was quite a hassle to get the sounds working again but in the end DSAOL XP worked but only on with my speaker setup.
With my Headphones I still get no sound. :mad:

Its not the game its something to do with your 3D card or drivers, I think Il2 still need DX9.0? I am pretty sure Win10 does not come with DX9.0 anymore
Some really new 3D cards even have poor legacy support for old 3D games DX/OpenGL.

[Lemmi]

It's a driver issue which exists since AMD reworked their OpenGL driver.
Try using version 22.5.1.

if i set it on perfect the game does not run right and the water shows as the dark blue solid texture. i have to play the game in exellent. such pity

[papote]

I purchased the game AT GOG and for some reason i had a duplicate entry in the .cfg file and some one here looked at it and advise me and i deleted that repeated entry and now i have perfect in all its glory. i also patched the game to 4.16 which i see some here having trouble too

[JacksonsGhost]

... i also patched the game to 4.16 ...

I think you mean 4.15.

4.16 is still in the future unless I missed something! ;)

Glad you're up and running anyway. There's plenty to enjoy as always!

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.2.1 for HELLDIVERS™ 2

brings back perfect mode with AMD Graphic Cards.

[viktor94]

Thank you for the heads up!

That are great News! I can finally enjoy IL2 1946 again without switching drivers every time. :grin:
