But anyway, now a few more folks are saying it IS a bug! They may know something I don't, but still I can't believe it!

Cheers

I'm guessing that it's not a bug, but that the dev team just didn't have time to add imperial measurements before the game was released. They were probably under pressure to release asap. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more posts about bugs or features that were left out. Just wait until the official release on Wednesday. This board will really light up.

nvdrifter,

So what you're saying is it's due to the game being released as 'unfinished', and blatantly so, as ACSoft is saying above.

The lack of FSAA.

I don't have to own SHIV to be irritated about that.

So is it official that our fears are correct on the lack of FSAA?

Yep, if recent reports from those who just purchased are any indication and indeed accurate.

I really like that SH4 comes is so many different editions. Some just with the basics and others with many goodies in the box. Even a collectors edition.

Well Done UBI

Of course I got my hands on one of the Tin Box Collector Editions of SH4

Actually it wasn't a discussion about AA until you guys started complaining. It WAS a topic where you should post when you've bought the game.:p

Which is why I deleted the majority of my posts in that thread.

Doesn't matter anymore, cause this thread has just been closed.

So if no AA then you have to manualy shut it off in drivers if forced or it will mess it up? If so then I will be running at max res if thats the case. Usually Max Res and AA don't mix well.

Ok, I've been lurking for many moons now and I just have to get some things off my chest. First though, I'm really looking forward to SHIV and I expect to take delivery of my pre-ordered copy on friday. I hope to relive those wonderful days of -96 all over again.

However..., my nr 1 pet peeve is not the lack of AA, not even the flag size. (probably fixed in the first mod) No, for me it is the transparency of the water! It just doesn't sit right with me. I thought SHIII had it perfected. This just feels like eye candy for it's own sake. I mean, how often, on photos, can you actually see 6-10 feet below the water line? (not pics of yachts anchored at some mediterrrenean atoll, mind you ) I sure hope there's a setting for this.

There.. feels much better now. Now, give me my Perch or Tambor boat..

In some areas of the Pacific, you can see quite a ways below the waterline.

What you see is actually quite realistic. If you turned it off, you would essentially be making the game less realistic.

I agree Newsoft, the reflective properties of day time and the angle we view the water... It's a little gamey. I'm sure its cool looking but if it can be disabled that would be cool.

I thought I was the only one who thought this

[newsoft]

Although, in the game's defence, I'll have to say that things look a little better now that user-posted screenshots starts to surface in the screen/vid thread. I think Ubi maybe overemphazised that "gamey" aspect in their shots. Also, nice to see that people seems to be playing without that "Hollywood-filter".
