Bow Splash Gone???

Lanzfeld · 02-15-07, 11:49 AM

Very strange bug here as it comes and goes.

I am using the longer wake mod but I am not sure that it is related. When I am on the surface I will sometimes have a bow wave (the actual splash) and I will sometimes not. I wonder if this is related to the wake mod as sometimes I have a nice long wake and other times (in 7 m/s seas right now) it goes away.

My particles are at 100% and I do wait for the wake to form.

The very strange part is when I look to the left of my bow sometimes I can see the splash but when I look right at it it goes away.

Anyone else?

Well I disabled the longer wake mod and the problem is still there. This is baffeling!

Sombers 3D waves are not the problem either.

Someone help me!!!

How do I get my bow splash back?

What are your driver-settings, Anisotropic Filtering in particular?
Try to raise that one as high as possible (8x, or even 16x).

Reboot your PC, and start your game without touching any other program...this is to ensure the largest possible free RAM upon loading.
Now when you finally load and get in your command-room, wait a couple of minutes, before you hit outside view...this is to ensure all sounds and graphics in your uboat's area are pre-loaded correctly.

Still no bow-wake?

CRITICAL MELTDOWN

I had the wake mod and it did change my bow wake. As far as I could tell. I took it out and did a fresh install of game and GWX. All is better now.
