low detail LOD vehicles showing up to close.
« on: July 18, 2012, 02:09:39 AM »
the new low detail GV models show up way to close. at 2x zoom they look like big green or brown or grey blocks at the moment. should stay high res detail out to 3k at least. it might effect armor effectivness too if lowres used below 3k.

I had that issue , but I adjusted adjusted my graphics settings - and now i can't duplicate it. Pyro & Dale seem to think the issue could be tied in with environmental mapping. Can you duplicate it?

not sure but today i was 1.5k behind a b29 in a 410 lobbing 50mm and all i could see of the b29 was a 2d object that looked like a stick figure should i turn off environmental mapping to get more detailed planes and vehicles out to 3k?

it seems like max range LOD's are showing up WAAAAY closer since new patch and they are not as fun to shoot at as the detailed planes.

I have lowest update setting of environmental mapping turned on.

settings folder sent.

I prefer the LOD switching the way it was before this version. it all looked fine then.  what I am experiencing in this version can only be described as.. 2D.

I think we've got it narrowed down - If you turn on your detailed water / and water reflections - you should be ok with environmental mapping on. Or you can turn the environmental mapping off and see if that fixes it temporarily. - (move the slider to none)
