Minor graphics glitch - Any Ideas?

Mordakai · 08-16-09, 01:12 AM

I have a minor graphics glitch while running OLC Gold. The reflections of land (near the horizon) and ships (lines between masts and other small details) seems to be producing artifacts. In the case off the land it looks like small horizontal shafts of contrast racing back and forth as my sub rocks. The ship reflections cause small blocks on the finer reflections.

The problem only occurs with OLC (tested, no other mods/graphics fixes running). I have also isolated each setting for my gfx card (Nvidia GTX 285) and the only thing that helps is removing AA completely, the jaggies hide the artifacts.

(I only use setting recommended on these forums). The artifacts get worse at higher AF settings. Any ideas on where to look next?

Cheers,
Mordakai.

screen shot?

sounds like it could be an AA issue?

a screenie would help others make a diagnoses and post possible fixes.

Here is a screen shot. They move rapidly and are hard to catch as they dart along the horizon. This should give you a idea of thier position relative to the horizon. Please tell me you see it, the crew is getting worried

Heres another screenie. Alot more obvious in this photo

. Note the jagged appearance of the reflection. It also shimmers as you pan.

That looks normal to me...it is the reflection of the shoreline on the water surface.

Just to clarify. The reflection moves left and right and blinks as I pan.
