I simply can't believe that not a single previewer up to now would make any mention of this whatsoever. Could someone who has the game please prove this incorrect?

03-19-07 05:50 PM

Has anyone other than DragonRR1 seen this kind of issue?

gronbek 03-19-07 05:50 PM

I can confirm this also.
The 3d game is fixed at max 1024X768.
Buying SH4 must be my worst gaming experience ever. Bye bye SH4

Lanzfeld 03-19-07 05:50 PM

LOL!

I am so glad I am not going to bother with this junk.

If Ubi are scaling a low resolution like 1024x768 to higher contemporary resolutions, no amount of AA or other graphics tricks will make that mess look better.

If that's true, about the 1024x768 I mean, I honestly can't say that I blame you.

The only people this wouldn't concern, are those that still run at 1024x768 resolutions. That said, I simply can't believe this to be true. There must be something else going on here, it's unbelievable otherwise. :o

Dragon are you using a widescreen? If so, and the game is upconverting from 1024x768 then wouldn't it have a stretched out look to it?

I have to admit those are the worst jaggies I've seen. Odd, since a lot of screenies look pretty darn good.

Is anyone here running the game in widescreen?

cherbert 03-19-07 05:55 PM

I'm sorry to say that I think he is right. But I do hope its a bug and not and absolute cruddy way of claiming to support widescreen modes which is clearly deception on their part.

I am playing at 1920 x 1200 - until this thread started I assumed it was simply the AA issue - but now I look at it again its all becoming clear! The interface is clearly running at 1920 x1200 but the actual 3D world is 1024 x 768 or some other such crappy resolution which is clearly why so many people are experiencing jaggies.

I believe if the game were running at these high resolutions correctly we wouldn't notice the lack of AA as much as everyone seems to be.

Please... Please... I hope this is a bug :-(

ParaB 03-19-07 05:56 PM

Not implementing FSAA support because of the problems with HDR I can somehow understand. But fixing the 3D-resolution so that we can't get rid of the jaggies even at higher resolutions just seems insane.

Together with the already mentioned bugs I'm slowly beginning to get a bad feeling.

:doh:

If the UI is running at the higher resolution but the world isn't, I really hope this is simply a bug, and not working as intended. Surely Ubi wouldn't intentionally design it to work this way -- would they? :shifty:

Images in 1024x768 and 1600x1200. No difference.:down:

Yea, I can't believe this either. There must be some kind of an explanation. I was expecting the FSAA issue to come up because it's Ubisoft.

I was NOT expecting this.

Either something is wrong, or Ubisoft has just called all of us fools...chumps.

cherbert 03-19-07 06:00 PM

If its of interest to anyone I have also noticed that the main.cfg file in the cfg folder still contains a reference to 1024 x 768!!!

Is this referring to he 3D world or just left over from the SHIII engine?

oiler 03-19-07 06:01 PM

yes this is true. Resolution of 3dengine is still fixed1024x768. All other 2d graphics things is simply smaller on greater resolution. :down: And with no antialiasing :damn: I've tried chuck patch for oblivion aa+HDR for ati x1000 series but with last drivers 7.2 it did't work
