Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you will only see the lense flare if you have an nvidia card. Just like the rest of the real good glare/bloom effects. There's an issue with ATI cards. We don't get those great sunsets.

I have an ati X1950 pro, and I'm not seeing the lense flares.

I don't see why you wouldn't see the lens flare... All I've done is modify the existing halo DDS file with a different outline. That would suggest the ATI cards are rather selective in what they choose to render. This is not a new effect per se, but rather just a clever texture trick! It's quite subtle - make sure you're not just missing it.

I'm using an nvidia myself, so I could be wrong. Could you PM me some screenshots? It might help with the diagnosis. I might also send you a differently-encoded DDS file to try, if you're willing to test. This was a DXT5, whereas I believe DXT3s are more common...

I'd be willing to test whatever you wish.

Just to be clear, what I'm calling lense flare is these little circles...




I have the halo around the sun (perhaps not quite the same as Nvidia), but I do not have the 'little circles'. I'll get some screenshots.

There's a definate issue with ATI vs Nvidia cards. most commonly seen with sunsets. ATI does not get that nice full screen glare/colored sky during sunsets. More of just the orange ball going down. There's an old thread about it around here somewhere.

Cpt, it is something with ATI cards as Monolith said. The sun is missing the bloom effect. I will slip this nifty mod in and she how she looks.
