problem: there is too many ants on my sea

quill0 · 07-31-09, 12:17 PM

hello everybody,
here the screenshot:

As you can see there are many many little black dots on the sea, on one frame it is not so deconcerting but during the play all this details are moving creating a sort of digital noise. very unpleasant. Have you got the same strange thing with the game, is there any solution?
so i checked up all this parameters:
_it is not the mod, because it is the same thing with the 1.4 version game.
_this is not the anti aliasing, i play on AA 8X and 16x Anisotropic Hd (you can see the perfect line of the boat)
_ my frame rate is about 60 fps
_i checked with or not the adaptativ anti aliasing option
_i test with or not the filter photographic and all the graphic option of the game (realistic sea, gamma...)
_i am in full resolution 1280x1024 (at 60hz or more)
my graphic card is a gigabyte Ati 4800hd serie and with the other video games i haven't got this problem. i play on Silent hunter 4, v1.4

thank you for reading and helping me

What's your LOD (level of detail) setting?

quill0 · 07-31-09, 03:16 PM

my level of detail is set at the maximum and every graphic option is check except the window mode.

Turn off post process filtering PPF

I see nothing wrong with the ss.

Looks better IMO.

What mods are you running with 1.4. You may want to try PE4 env. mod, depending on what else you're running.

hi everybody!
thanks a lot for the help, as i said i test with or without all the graphic options menu like realistic sea on or off or with or without the post process filter effect there are always this bug. i test with PE4 but it is the same effect.
Well i think that it comes from my video card and the adaptative antialiasing process. Even if i turn on or off my graphic card option it is still there.

get Rivatuner and play with the LOD mipmap bias adjustment, try setting to 0.

Real sunlight glinting off real ocean is hard to look at - you're looking at the sun. You have to just about completely close your eyes. Or wear polaroids. And even then it dances around so much you'd get an epileptic if you were prone.

You've got realism. I wish my PC was that good.

you can have this, get Rivatuner or a similar program
and set the mipmap lod bias to a negative value.

what are those two little stripes in the sky?

looks like artifacting

Armistead · 08-02-09, 01:42 PM

Think those are the top wires of the sub...only lines I see, but I'm getting old.
