Sector line/map bug pictures
« on: February 10, 2017, 08:49:27 AM »
I have tried numerous things to fix this and finally got around to some screenshots. I run at 1024 textures and have tried 2048 with no change. I have deleted terrain files and downloaded the game again and let the terrain download each time I log on. Nothing changes.

The first 2 sets of pics are from last night and the previous night. The last set is from Axis v Allies arena and as you can see no problems with map. Seems each map and arena are different but most are like the first 2 unreadable.

I know you said you run at 1024 and tried 2048, but it looks for all the world like your system is dropping the texture size back to 512. I say that because in each of those screen shots, the CBM has many of the sector lines missing and the maps are blurry.

Yea they do look much like the pic posted in this thread that is 512 textures.

Could my system be defaulting to 512 in game even though I have 1024 selected? It sure seems like it. I just did some testing and my frame rate barely changes. I picked 2048 and the back to 1024 and pretty much the same frame rate. Also changed screen resolution a couple times and everything pretty much the same. My frame rate should get worse going up to 2048? I have an older system.

I can't say. You might need to run it by Skuzzy.

I will tell you that on my i3 tablet, the game was changing everything. Even my desktop resolution would change after playing. I think it was attempting to calculate the best frame rate. There was a time when the game would report a change like this but it was happening silently for me.

I accepted it as the price for running on a tablet LOL.

I have a lot of things turned down and off in the game I wonder if there is a clue there?

I didn't have this problem when 3 first came out. Not sure when this started but it was quite a while after release of 3. I will delete everything and do a new install this weekend, not just install over the current version. Unless HTC responds to this and has a suggestion.

Thanks  :cheers:
