My advice didn’t work?

On my computer if i set antialiasing more than X4 multisampling and gamma correction on on, i have the flat sun...but respecting what i said above, sun is perfect
Plus if you set antialiasing compatibility to Diablo III in inspector, it’s like my AA was X8!
(You can check my screen shots in screen shot thread, they are just perfect)

Yeah, you are right. I forgot about it, you gave me that hint a while ago, but I forgot about it when I re formated my pc... I just reinstaled it and will give it a try.... I will launch SH3 right now to see if the flat sun is gone now using your settings...

I remember everything was fine after using your settings last time...

RickSarg and Fifi:


I tried both your settings in every possible way, GWX only, SH3 1.4b, with my mods on top of GWX, GWX flat sun fix, etc, you name it,I've tried...
The result is exactly the same, the flat sun is still there.


The only benefit I got out of this long period of tests is that the image in general is fantastic, the jagged image is almost 100% gone and I am pleased with it.

After trying every piece of advice you guys gave me without positive result, it's obvious that something else is causing the flat sun, and I guess it has something to do with a graphics card setting. Until I can precise the origin of this, I will leave my current settings untouched, becuase I am very happy with the results..


Anyway, thanks a lot for your advices and time guys! We didn't fix the main issue, but something else good came out of it.

Let me know if this works for you! If not I could pack up my environment setup for you which uses U-73's work tweaked with a few adaptments.

Thanks! I got it sorted, which means don't alt-tab thinking your gonna bump up your graphic settings; flat sun appears every time.
