Rocky Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 For those of you not able to try the demo out, here's a couple of uncompressed screenshots to compare, Low and High, it should be obvious which is which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoSoft Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Wait you have a HIGH option? ;_;? why don't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Low and Medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 It seems some people, even with high end cards, are not getting the high option, I do though. Try opening the settings xml file and manually edit it to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEyedBartender Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 do you have a 512MB video card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 do you have a 512MB video card? ← Yes I do. Do you think that's the requirement for High Textures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMike Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) It seems some people, even with high end cards, are not getting the high option, I do though. Try opening the settings xml file and manually edit it to high. ← I have a 7800GT with 256MB RAM and I only get low/medium. "Thats Odd!" Rocky, what GFX card do you have? EDIT: AARGH! Too slow. I am sure the answer is in your 512MB video RAM. Mike Edited April 26, 2006 by MadMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyHalfMexican Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 do you have a 512MB video card? ← Yes I do. Do you think that's the requirement for High Textures? ← That's probably why. I have an x1900XTX, which is 512MB. And I see High. Just wish I could get some FSAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 @ Mike, I added a link to my PC Spec in my sig. Everyone should do that at times like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoSoft Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yeah I have 256mb only on my video card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEyedBartender Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Case closed... High Textures: 512 MB Card Low/Medium: 256 MB card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ST Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Is it just me or do those textures still look low res, just seem flat certainly don't look like high and to think you need a 512mb card for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmu Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 There does actually seem to be a decent bit of compression on those images, that might be neutralising some of the difference ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoSoft Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) Haha, you were right about XML, I changed the textures to high in the file, and now the HIgh option is selected, note: if you try to edit it ingame it MAY disapear as an option to select again. Testing ingame now... "Crash in application version: grpcdemorc1.04 Could not load texture because IDirect3D9::CreateTexture call failed. Direct3D does not have enough display memory to perform the operation." sorry mates ;_;...it is the memory.

Steel1977 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 You can change the settings in the renderer_settings xml file. I changed the character textures, ground textures and building textures to high... and it still plays smoothly and it looks better now. My rig P4 3.0 ghz HT 1 gb ram geforce 6800 256 mb sound blaster live 24 160 gb hd 17 inch lcd display I also downloaded the latest beta drivers from nvidia, it gives the game a bit of a boost.

nasa15 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) I edited the xml render file so that every medium setting reads "high", as well as upped the resolution to 1680x1050 for my 7900GT, and it looks noticeably better than the medium settings. The soldiers look great. No crashing or anything. Edited April 26, 2006 by nasa15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoSoft Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 So What caused mine to crash? anyguess hmm, I'm guessing Its one of the options I set to High. I'll have to do trial and error it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantis90 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 IMO, its ridiculous, this game/demo is a total resource hog!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyho Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) Installed the demo and the graphics are able to run at 'High'. No tweaking, no xml render file slashing or whatever... Sys; two years old AMD XP2800+ / 1.5Gb 333mhz ddr pc 2700 / ATI X1600pro 512Mb / SB live 5.1 and other minor hardware. The demo looks awesome [1280x1024], I'm very anxious to 'meet' the full game next week. Edited April 27, 2006 by Eyho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoSoft Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just a note: to avoid the error I got (i'm guesing this is where the game checks how much memory your graphic card DOES have.) Do not set <variable name="texture_quality" value="medium" /> to High, but all the other options on high, you should get the same level of detail I assume, I see a great improvement. Right now I"m playing with variable names trying to find AA =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
