From the screens I've seen, I personally think the effect looks decent, almost period like. I don't have the game yet so can merely judge from a few of the good screenshots I've seen.

I don´t have the game yet, but I´m very worried about blurry graphics ...:hmm:

it requires a lot more of hardware but graphics are not very clear ¿¿


very confused

Even then, I do not think you will fully escape this odd blurriness.

Most likely, a problem related to the rendering method used. I am sure it can be solved by the devs in a patch or so. Do not judge the graphics too hard just yet. SHIV is easily the best looking naval game to date. Mods or no mods.

Updated my post with a few screens (scaled down from 1024x to 800x).

My biggest concern now is the sound, or the complete lack of it in some departments. Silent Hunter IV is simply too silent

Nice pics for the system you are running it on. I feel better about my rig running int somewhat decent.
