Title: water graphics a mess
Post by: vafiii on May 20, 2010, 09:39:55 AM

Since last patch coastal bases in MA appear to be underwater. Water has "ice" like look to it. Edges of water vary from black to blue to white. Water extends up sides of bases in DA. Squad mate and some others having same issues so it's not just my computer. I only run detailed water since system can't handle detailed terrain or water reflections (never could), however, if I turn on detailed terrain and then turn off, water issues correct slightly. Have to keep clicking detailed terrain on and off in order to make game playable.

Can you post some screenshots?  What video card are you using?

Still would like your specs and does this happen after an alt tab or just any time you run the game?

Sent numerous screen shots to Skuzzy as well as DXDIAG output. Issues happen all the time in all arenas after last patch. Prior to last patch no problems. My brother having same issue with game on his computer as well as another squad mate. I use a Nvidia Gforce 6200 card and my brother uses a Nvidia Gforce 5200.

It happens to me when I put the graphic detailer up and all I see is a blank space, as if the sky is now the water. Then when I put it back down, it's normal, it can't be the graphics card. I've had working with it on for a long time

Seen the same thing when disabling detailed terrain. With detailed terrain ON, everything is looking good. It happens without minimizing / alt-tabbing. Changing to detailed and then back to undetailed terrain fixes the problem, but only temporarily.

Gfx-card is Radeon X1950Pro.

We're hopeful that's fixed but we're unable to verify it.

Just checked out MA and DA. Water problem appears to be resolved. Thank you very much!
