Author Topic: Field Ack not visible (Read 740 times)

The field ack is not visible, you see the tracers coming up and can aim at the source and kill ack but you just can't see it!

This was noticed by quite a few online today not just me.

Someone said they saw it when five feet away! so perhaps this is a setting adjustment ?

The field ack not being visible is currently due to a setting adjustment namely the object size.
You have to have object size set to full quality to see the ack at the usual AH viewing distances.
This goes for all objects such as buildings, towers, etc. can't really see them until you're at a close enough viewing distance to them which is directly related to the slider position.

That doesnt seem right.

Why do so many people get such low frame rates with these good cards.

I get 80 to 108 fps with a GeForce Ti 4400, although I have been as low as 60 in the middle of the trees in a GV.

It doesnt make sence.

Sabre,

Yep,once online in the tower go to the Video setup on the clipboard and increase the size slider to the highest detail.

I did then I could see the ack from the air - but got bad frame rates with my low spec graphics card.
