Hello,
first of all: don't flame if there is already a thread about my problem. I used the search function and found no answers.
My Problem: I just reinstalled XWA and it looks terribly ugly. to be precise. If I am far away from an object it looks ok, but if it happens to be at ca. 0.3 clicks, the textures start to blur.
I tried almost everything, from getting new drivers to mess around with the settings.. with no results. So I'm crying out for help :cry8:
(It's not the corrupt fonts thing. I use the patch for high res)
My specs:
Athlon XP 1700
MSI K7T 266 Pro2 board
512 mb ram
GeForce 4800 (creative labs), ForceWare 81.98
Win XP Pro
Ingame Settings: everything as high as possible
Res: 1280*1024 (as in Windows)
Driver Settings:
AA: 4xS
Anisotropic: 8x
Vsync: active
Force Mip Maps: Trilinear
Texture Clamp: on
Extensionrestriction: off
Hardwareacceleration: 1 Screen
Tripple Buffer: on
Neg. LOD: Clamp
Can you try a post in the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project forums (
http://www.xwaupgrade.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi) (specifically "Soft/Hardware Problems")? I wouldn't know about your particular problem, but I'm sure someone there does. You can actually also try the LucasArts tech support board (
http://forums.lucasarts.com), too.
Your problem is to do with the way the game uses software vectors and is quite common but usually only at super close range. May I suggest setting everthing on your card to automatic instead of forcing the game to do things it wasn't designed for.
post at XWAU like the B-Wing pilot says.
