Periscope view

[Arjay]

Hi, hoping someone can help. Running GWX 3.0 Gold, I find that as the periscope(s) meet the water interface, the actual view turns into a mass of coloured pixels. This only clears as the periscope is fully extended and is free of water (hope that makes sense!!). I just wonder if anybody else has had this problem and knows the solution to it.

Many thanks.

You might have a problem with your graphics settings there...it's supposed to be a watery, washed out view as the lens is obscured by a sheet of water.

I agree:up:

Thanks for prompt response. I understand it should be a watery view, it was never a problem in SHIII, this only started with GWX 3.0 Gold (!?). In desperation I have downloaded nHancer and tried all kinds of graphics settings and still no go. ( I have no problem with any other games nHancer is running, btw). Just wondered if anybody has this problem also?

hmmm, coloured pixels I haven't experienced yet ....
can you tell something about your graphics card and the settings you have?

Welcome to SS Arjay http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/welcome.gif

What graphics card do you have?

[Arjay]

Nvidia GeForce 7900GS (x2), as I say I have never had any problem before. Btw the "coloured pixels" look like a multi coloured patchwork quilt, lol!

Must sign off for this evening as is getting late in the UK, (as all Wolves know, it is now full moon....)!!

you don't smoke before you play, do you??!! :03:

in earnest:
- have you enabled any graphics mods?
- what are your filter settings? (anti-aliasing and anisotropic)

[Arjay]

Gave up smoking years ago, but the colours are pretty psychedelic!

Seriously, these are the settings enabled by nHancer:

Anti-aliasing: 4x Multisampling
Anisotopic filtering: Application

I have tried messing about with various settings and graphic mods but no go... I was simply hoping that somebody else might have had the same problem and I could have solved it with an nVidia tweak or a small adjustment to tga files.

But thank you anyway gentlemen for your kind help.

hmm, I sure hope that someone will come up with a solution for you.
my nVidia 6600GT (yes I know: old and outdated) has AA-settings: 4x and AF: 8x
and I haven't experienced any graphics-glitches so far.

the point is how to narrow down these glitches to either the settings of your graphics-card or corrupted installation ....
but how to proceed I don't know?!
