Underwater appearance issue (Banding)

Balladeer · 06-19-16, 12:22 AM

Hey folks. I'f memory serves, I've always struggled with this issue across multiple PCs. My underwater view has all kinds of unsightly banding which is bumming me out. Water needs to be one continuous, clear medium. I tried turning of sun rays underwater just to see if it would help and it doesn't. I don't know if its an issue with the game or a setting like gamma or even if certain anti-aliasings might cause it. I don't know but I'm at my ropes end. I'm pretty certain I've watched youtube vids and others appear not to have this issue.

Any ideas? Does anyone else have this problem? I'm running SH4 v1.5 with FOTRS. Is it less noticeable in shallow water? I tried downloading the water view distance mod but I'm at my max downloads for today but I'm not sure that will help me. Is there a mod I can use to adjust this? All things considered I can live with it but it would help immersion as its really kind of ugly looking. I've never had issues with my six year old monitor. It runs at 1920X1080 60Hz.
