Nvidia and the sun glare...

[Maltro]

Hi, Does anybody has an idea to solve my problem please?

I have a Nvidia geforce 8800 GT 512 Mo card, try drivers versions 196.75 and 196.21 but at each time I have the same problem: Sun glare doesn't work correctly. I just see a yellow ball in the sky... like this :



Instead of like this:



Pictures are from SH4. I have solve the problem by changing the nvidia control panel settings but this time it doesn't works...

Thanks!

Didnt this happen in SH4 with more than 4x AA?

A wild guess, disable Gamma correction..

That's all i can think of atm..

SH4 didn't do proper AA, it was some muddling work around. When you forced real AA through the driver control panel this is exactly the effect that was seen.

ALL NEW CODE.

[Echolot]

Force AA in driver menu
Turn off Gamma Correction
Same as SHIII/4
Good luck.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it "AF" instead of "AA" I run 16XQ "AA" with no problems, but only 4x "AF".

[Frederf]

Ships-R-Us, that sounds right. Anything other than AA off "1x" the problem should be there. It makes no sense for AA 4x to work but AA 8x to not work, for example.

I think Echlot is right, driver-AA might possible if gamma correction is turned off. It's been a while since I worried about this with SH4 but if memory serves it was a conflict between AA and gamma correction.

196.75 are bad drivers and been pulled by nvidia for overheating cards, ect...check the site, fairly sure they fried my card. Stick to the 21

Thank you for your reply!
I will try this set next time I will play (today of course ! ) and will tell you even if I think I have already try this during all my trials...

Hi Maltro

I run an nVidia GeForce 8800 with the following settings

Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
Driver: 6.14.11.6921 (old one but works flawlessly with lots of different sims)
nHancer settings:






Works fine for me. Hope it solves your issues.

Besides - with Ctrl+PageUp/ Ctr+PageDown you can adjust this in game but can cause loss of AA settings. You better try the nHancer settings above first.

Regards

[Maltro]

Thank you Silent Steel but I can't see your nhancer settings.

I have tried all the possible settings AA AF on-off-4X, with or without gama correction but at least.... :

same here, tried all the settings but the sun is always a white golf ball at the sky. I have a GTX275 and use the 196.21 driver.

Sorry to piggyback onto this post , better than starting a new one and its to do with graphics anyway.

I have an ATI HD5770 1Gb DDR5 , I am no techie so what I say is a guess. When on patrol I was on the deck next to the deck gun (everyone does it at least once) when I turned and looked up at the CT, sun was at my 180 not high and the P/scope housing and other shadows were showing through the CT.

Like the CT was near transparent , I guess this is not my card but part of the coding.

Are others seeing the same thing , no biggie , but its there ...

So it is not my card but maybe this version of the nvidia driver?... Does someone has the sun glare on with the same version of the nvidia driver?

Guys I had the sun without halo with .21 and the broken .96 drivers, .34 has given me a nice sanhalo, without any fuss over the AA,AF.. Give it a try if you want to. Got it from Guru3d..

Piri reis, I haven't take care at your driver version .34 cause the only difference beetween .21 and .34 is a fix from nvidia to allow users to overclock the card.
But after your post, I decide to try. I found the .34 (beta) driver and install it but unfortunatly, the sun don't shine for me... I have done exactly the same settings as you sent me (default settings) but no result... I have tried to turn off gamma correction but no mean to have
