Lost my Flair

[Doolittle81]

For some reason, I do not see any longer the "ROW camera with sun-Flair effects"....It worked a while ago, but since I've dis-enabled and re-enabled a lot of mods for various unrelated reasons, I noticed in the last few missions that I don't ever see the camera lens flair. Anybody have any ideas?

Anyone have any experience like this? Not seeing the Flair?

Could it be Graphics Card setup? I have 8800GTX and am running all SH4 graphics options at Max. Also, I am running the card (thru nHancer) with AA supersampling at 16X and AF at 16X.

You might have another mod that's overwritten the flare effect. Post a list of yor mods in the order they're installed (uses the JSGME export feature).

Nvidia cards work pretty much flawlessly with SH4 and ROW, so I doubt that's the issue.

I've enable the "ROW camera with sun-Flair effects" as teh last Mod in JSGME. There is nothing following it to change anything in the MOD. It seems I sometimes get Flair from a high noon sun, but I never see it anymore in setting or rising suns. I miss the look as I do a fair amount of Screencapturing. Anyone else have an idea?

I'm using GTX 8800 with 169.25 driver. I wish Dave were still here to help...

I believe that's your problem - based on my previous experimenting with my 8800GTS, if I set AA at anything greater than 4X, I lose the flare/halo effect. You might want to try dropping your AA back down to 4X and see if you don't get it back.

Good luck.

Amen to that

Yes, that was the problem...I had just a few moments ago discovered this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=745469&posted=1#post745469 where the nHancer settings were discussed and they also suggested dropping AA to 4X max. I did so and I got back my Flair.

Thanks for the help.

Also for anyone else having similar problems. I have found that if you have antialiasing gamma correction turned on you won't get the Halo and lense flair effect.
