Feedback to the driver teams is all very well (assuming it's a driver issue at all and not just poor coding by 1C), but shouldn't 1C be in direct contact with them? In fact, shouldn't 1C know about and be fixing the "blue lines" Radeon problem? It's their responsibility, not ours.

Well, I did test it with DX9 like Doc suggested and the blue lines dissapear there.

For me running the game in DX9 is a bit of a no go though since I seem to have only half fps as in DX10.

Running the game in DX11 (yes, setting that in conf.ini actually works :P) has no blue lines but various other graphical bugs, suppose theyre still testing that out.

But yeah, the three blue lines on the horizon seem to be a directX10 specific bug in combination with Radeon cards.

S!

Woef, what do you put there to activate DirectX 11..D3D11_0? The link to AMD Driver feedback is on this CLICKY so get on it :)

I didnt think this game used Dx11, might as well try it out:grin:
regards
Doc

Erm, I just set it in the conf.ini :P

You know where normally the D3D10_0 or something is, just change that to 9 or in my case 11. To be honest I don´t know if it actually works that way but it sure seemed to have an effect, but I should try setting it to 12 or something too I suppose, to see if it´s not a hoax ^^

I have to warn you though, it lead to some funky graphical bugs for me (most notably with the terrain transitions between land and water, black lines on the edges of what I take to be terrain blocks and the majority of the houses not rendering). But! No blue lines on the horizon XD

But yeah, thats how I set it.

I tryd D3D11_0 but i get the pixelated sky again:(

Well, I never said it would work with the pixelated sky..I did suffer from that for a little while but no clue what setting it was.

Anyway, maybe my conf.ini and other settings can help you a bit so here goes:

My CCC settings are:

3D Application settings

Anti-Aliasing - Use application settings
Filter - Standard

Anisotropic Filtering - Use application settings

Tesselation - AMD optimized

Catalyst A.I. - High Quality
Enable surface optimizations - Enabled

Wait for vertical Refresh - Quality

Anti-Aliasing mode - Super-sample AA

OpenGL settings - triple buffering checked


Running 11.4 WHQL certified catalyst drivers.

(I did tweak several stuff in the profiles.xmp from the ATI drivers, if you want I can copy/paste those too)

In game settings - Everything maxed out. SSAO on.

EDIT: Corrected DepthBits and Stencilbits since I set them differently now.

p.s. The game does run like a dream for me at the moment, except the Anti-Aliasing issues and stupid blue lines, example below:

S!

The official 11.4 WHQL drivers are out, go grab them while hot :) Links on Guru3D forums at AMD drivers :)
