chiles4 11 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Over the past 6 months I've noticed some trees not rendering correctly in several maps. Surrounding the leaves or fronds of the tree or bush will be large dark rectangles that contain the frond. I've noticed it in the 10mm Bogota Jungle map, a custom Alpha Squad map and especically in Year of the Monkey. Apparently, it's got nothing to do with the map designer. I asked my co-op buddy if he ever noticed these and he said, "yeah, every now and then." Interestingly, I'm using an X1950XT (with Cat 6.12) and he's using a 7950GX2 with the latest Nvidia drivers. Anybody know what's going on with these or if there's some tweak to get rid of these wack trees? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wombat50 545 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Chiles I am familiar with that on The Farm map made by Biro and used by AS as a tournament map for Final Encounter. I think it is map and vid card related. I had the trees rendering as square rectangles with my old card but with the newer card I have, I don't get that problem. What AS recommended and which worked for me, was to go to options and turn the tree model detail to high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chiles4 11 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well I went into my settings and, as I thought, I already had 'Tree Detail' set to HIGH. Actually, everything is set to high/max. Here's a pic of the 'bad' trees. It's not that a bad a problem when they're high in the air but when they're at eye level they block your vision badly and can make some maps an exercise in aggravation (and quick death!).

It may be a driver issue, as I can't duplicate it with my current card. Rollback the drivers or wait for a newer version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
