Terrain issues
« on: September 18, 2007, 11:52:47 PM »
Having alot of problems with terrain. Invisible trees, hills that are not there, being kileed through tres,buildings,hilss,etc when I can't hit who is shooting at me and sometimes cant even see them.
My system is emachines laptop, ATI Radeon M320 card. 704 MB Ram, 1.86 GHz. Running Windows XP service pack 2.
This is all very frustrating. I got killed several time last night because of these issues. I was engaged by a tank at around 1800 meters. My shots were hitting an invisible hill while all of his shots were near to or hitting me. Yes I was killed 0n the third shot the only on that hit me. Also another instance was in an open field with a M4 at 2200 meters side shot but could not hit it because my shots were hiting trees that weren't there. I just want to know what might be the problem here. I have tried all differnent graphic settings and other adjustments but nothing helps.

Have you tried the ground view in the game? I think it is shift F4.

If I'm not mistaken the 320M is only a 32mb laptop video card that shares system memory.

Try reducing the max texture size to 128 or 256 and don't preload anything.

Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Tried that at all settings still didn't fix it. I plan on getting a new computer soon with the latest ATI graphics so I am trying to deal with it for now. Thanks anyways.

that is false you can get killed thru the side of a VH. if you put enough HE rounds into the side of the VH you will eventualy kill the gv. HE=High Explosive :aok

Don't know if this applies to laptops, but search for threads about V-Sync.  I think I remember people with similar issues having success by changing v-sync setting in Windows.
