Just reinstalled: WOW!

S!

Tanker, make sure to give the 12.1 preview drivers a run, they work for me very nicely.

Sounds good, tanker. I'd love to upgrade (and install Windows 7) but it's simply not an option for me now (or in the foreseeable future). Hope the upgrade goes well.

To follow up on this: I checked my driver settings as suggested. Everything is either set to application controlled or to default setting if the application controled option isn't available for that function.

Still getting what appear to be tile borderlines on the ground or water (see screenshots below).

I've tried all performance settings (High quality down to high performance) and the lines remain no matter what. Anyone got any ideas about what may be causing them and (if possible) how to get rid of them?

i have these sqare lines only if i have set land detail to medium or low...with high they should disappear.

[159th_Jester]

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try and see what happens.

If that is the cause, I'll just have to live with them.... Land detail on high nearly kills my poor old PC!!


EDIT: Just tried setting land detail to high and the lines remain, I'm afraid. Can anyone suggest any other potential causes?

[David198502]

mh interesting...then maybe set the textures to high...if that still doesnt work, im afraid i cant help you any further.

Try reading the whole post (or....*GASP*..... the entire thread) before making silly comments.

I just reinstalled today to see how the patches were coming along..... And all I can say is WOW!!

The landscape. The sounds. It looks and sounds so much better the change is incredible!

I still have performance issues.... But I think they're more down to my PC now than anything in the sim (old PC, running Win XP 32-bit. Can't afford to upgrade). Although I still can't fly over London (lack of RAM on the part of my PC I'd guess..... FPS will suddenly drop then CoD freezes and crashes), I can now tweak the GFX setting so that flying anywhere else is smooth as silk.

It looks better. It sounds better.... And most of all it "feels" better than it did.

Ilya and the team have dome great things so far with CoD. Compared to what it was at release it's a whole new game!!

Very happy (...... You may have noticed!! )


Edit: Meant to ask:

One minor thing that is a little bothersone is that the area under my plane (square in shape) is outlined with a thin black border. I'm guessing it may be the boundary where LOD levels change since the square gets smaller the higher I climb. I'm running an nVidia GTX260 768MB GFX card with up to date drivers (as far as I know!). Has anyone else had this problem and if so have they found a cure for it?

Hi, I would say the cure would be to buy an actual decent modern GPU? 260s are used as word processors now... In fact I dont even think they are making the 40nm 200 range gpus, because with 600s out next year the low 400s are now the "word processor/bottom of the barrel" gpus. Go grab a 460, they are under $100 this christmas and it will really improve your performance (+dx11 yay!).

btw I think 9800gtx is more powerful than the 260 and they are selling for $20-$30 with rebate so...

[159th_Jester]

Upgrading is not an option I have now (or for the foreseeable future). Not everyone has spare money you know.

As it is this "word processor" graphics dard runs medium high settings in every other game and sim I own and so it's not a major worry for me.

If that's the cause of the lines, then I'll just have to learn to live with them. Apart from those, CoD looks fine and runs fine on medium settings.
