Ugly boxes around trees?

[Meldric]

Hi!

I had the problem from the start (but have chosen to ignore it initially) that the trees at the coastlines where all trapped in a rectangular area that is not completly transparent... This is not all the time and I thought it might be connected to a fog issue (?)... This looks extraordinarily ugly and I really would love to find a fix for it. Maybe I can provide a screenshot tonight when I am back home...

Anyone had the problem? I am running at max settings, 2x AA and several mods (I can post the list of mods also tonight).

I am using a ATI 5770 Card with newest Catalyst. All the settings for AA and AF are "Application controlled" in the driver.

Any help?

Its a mod doing it . I had it a while ago but cannot remember what mod was doing it .

Not so sure a mod is necessarily to blame. I happened upon this while playing with settings in CCC on my new ATI card, and the boxes came and went unrelated to mods.

For a start, try switching off application control on AF and see what happens.


Edit: I use an ATI 5770, AA is app controlled, AF is 16X, Catalyst AI is Standard, Mipmap detail is on Quality, vrefresh is app controlled and AA mode is multi sample.

I'm running a 5770 too and actually never had a problem with boxes around the trees. All my settings are set to custom levels and nothing is controlled by the application. It sounds like it's a AF issue, but I'm at work so I can't check it. Try choosing your own levels in Catalyst and see if that works.

I have now checked your settings and it looks way better now. Unfortunatly, I get only < 20 Frames now... I need to tweak a bit...

Try disabling Conus' Graphic Mod 1.1 and see if that fixes it . It definately is one of your mods doing it , one of the devs said so months ago .

I'm almost 100% positive that my mod does not cause this on its own....

If I remember correctly it was the AilRain mod which causes it. I noticed that the OP with the problem also has that mod listed. I'd try removing it and see if works.

Thank you for the hints! I have now set the options in CCC as mentioned above, choose shadows to be 50% and set AF to 8 (instead of 16). Now it seems to be fluent and I haven't seen the boxes anymore (although I was in nothing like fog yet). If they reappear, I try removing the AILRAIN mod.

THX again!
