Title: We need a Forum for these problems...
Post by: BMathis on July 29, 2009, 02:11:44 AM
I've seen so many problems posted all over this site. We need a Patch 2.14 forum to post. (like our Beta forum)

Some of the issues I've seen:

Cannot read gauges, ammo, clipboard sectors lines/numbers, and the skins are all blurred. 

CV puffy is WOW. Been Killed from at least 8 miles away laterally from the carrier group.
 - CV Auto ack is shooting above 7k, which was standard in previous version. Have not tested field ack.

Major warpage.

I've been running Terrain Off and getting 70-80s but teens and 20's with it on (Im on a laptop with a nicer but old gfx card).

One of my passions is making films and Wallpapers for AH, but no way can I pursue any of that with the way the skins look.

Major point here is a forum to post bugs, problems etc to keep it outta the Gen Disc...

Looks like you'll be able to play w/o much problem after a few days and some tweaking BMathis

I assume the same, yet we should have a place to post problems for 2.14 in a separate forum no?

This is how AH2 looks on my laptop. The only problem I've currently come across is that the panel lines fade out at the tip of the wing.

How about your gauges?

What's wrong with this one? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,195.0.html)

My gauges look the same as before I started using the hires texture pack. I haven't installed that yet since I don't think my tub could handle it. Anyway, I run near-full sliders and all but Object Self Shadow and that local shadows setting on this setup (http://docs.google.com/View?id=dc3smcbq_147g6dnzdhd).

BMathis, your texture resolution is too low. The computer blurs the textures to smooth out the graininess. The map on the clipboard is just a texture map (the background, not the text and range circles). The instrument dials are texture maps.

Bump up the texture resolution and test it.

I'm running 1024 textures and my gauges are blurry as well.  I have to scoot up about 12 to 18 inches to get the quality I had with the previous version.

My guess you have have moved the AH anti alias slider to the right? The planes and gauges should look exactly the same as they do in the previous version.

That's very strange, since that "will be addressed in a later patch." :lol
