Title: Grid lines on clipboard map don't display properly
Post by: tudza on June 13, 2022, 06:12:36 AM

Flight graphics look great. Trouble is I can't tell what sector I'm in because the grid lines aren't rendering properly.

I see field and city icons just fine.  The maps themselves seem OK. It's like the grid lines are out of focus or something.

After double checking: I noticed that if I zoom out to see the entire map the lines disappear. But they reappear immediately when zooming in (the + sign in upper right or Insert on your keyboard).

Another potential culprit can be if you don't use the native resolution of your screen for AH.

Good suggestions, but I checked both of those cases.

Grid lines are part of texture that define the map.

If you zoom in too much they become fuzzy as the map. If you zoom out too much they may disappear with there low resolution.

How to solve?

- map makers can generate 2048x2048 textures when it is possible
- ask HTC to draw the sector lines (but it may conflict with existing maps)

Tudza, are you using VR? I had a squad mate that had a similar issue but he was using VR. 

Try reducing textures in Video Setting on the opening page of the clipboard. You may have to go down as far as 1024.

A correction.

I was informed by my squad mate that 1024 is the lowest texture setting he can run without losing the grid lines. So try setting your texture at 1024 or above.

Setting the texture to at least 1024 seems to have done the trick. I checked several arenas like the training arena and I can see grid lines in all of them.

Thanks.

Glad that worked for you.

It's much more enjoyable when you know where you are, and where you need to go.  :cheers:
