Fuzzy-Wuzzy Sonar Display

Deephunter · 07-31-10, 09:55 AM

A couple of nights ago I go to the sonar station and note that the usually-hard-to-read displays are even worse. Almost seems like there's a double image, one superimposed on the other, but offset just a tad, so the dials are impossible to read.
Is there a fix for this..?? I recall reading about a mod to correct the original unreadability problem, but have not found it. Was I dreaming, or is there such a beast..??
Any and all help will be much appreciated...

What mods are you using? System specs would probably help too.

Running RSRDC on v1.5, Vista 32, 2 GIG RAM, Nvidia GE Force 9400GT 512 mem. What I don't understand is why after running for a nearly 2 years, from one day to the next it acts up....

Is the sonar station the only place this occurs? It sounds like I'm having a similar problem with RFB 2.0 when I'm using external cam.

ETR3..Yes...The sonar station is the only one (so far - knock on wood..).

How about a screenshot?

Nisgeis...Here's a lousy screenshot. For some reason, it's skewed, and split (the range indicator is on both the left & righthand edges of the pic...This is NOT how the screen shows when I'm playing...). But you can make out the problem...The characters in the range indicator look almost like the Krylic alphabet, and on the bearing indicator they're just over-fuzzy.

(I hope this business with skewed screenshots is not how this thing is going to work...)

BTW...I'm using IrFanView to resize the SS. Is there another program that might be better suited..??

Hmmm, it's kind of hard to tell for sure from a skewed and resized screenshot, but it looks like your game is using the low res set of graphics for the sonar stack. Either the game decided your graphics card doesn't have the memory for high res textures (have you re-installed or updated the graphics card driver?) or you've got a mod installed that has overwritten RFB's updated cleaner graphics with stock. Have you installed any mods recently?

Nisgeis....Fixed it..!!
Your comments about low res graphics rang a bell. I was messing around with the graphics settings a few days back, and had set one of the parameters to low res...

Changed it back to high & everything back to "normal"....

Thanks for the help...
