Desperate water help needed!!!!! - snailsave11 - 11.11.2009
All over this forum I see beautiful pictures of perfect water and I STILL DON'T HAVE THAT!!!!
I tried every thing I could think of:
water=0/1/2/3/4
4.09 update
several mods even though they work (from high altitude I can see it's working) I still have allmost textureles water, especialy when I fly low level. I have to look at the meters to see how low I'm flying because I have a textureles blue screen beneeth me. :-?
Do I maybe have a openGL problem or does my grafics card (nvidia Geforce 9800GT) need an update, or is it something else!!! :???:
any help would be greatly apriciated!!!!

in conf.ini overwrite all hardwareshaders=0 to hardwareshaders=1
- JG3_VonHahn - 11.11.2009
look if you changed the water accidentily in the dierect x mode instead of open gl.
If you
- snailsave11 - 11.11.2009
Thanks for the replies but it didn't work because I already had Hardwareshader=1 on
It also looks like second layer of blur laying on top of it from high altitude :???:
I'm clueles!!!!

I have basically the same problem as you, and i have a GTX295 GFX card , Core i7 920 CPU and 4GB of DDR3 RAM...
the worst thing is that i got better water running an ATI 9800 Radeon pro back in the days.

Have you tried to adjust your Graphics Card, you should have a control center ATI is Catalyst Control Center, and thats how you can tweak your GPU to run games and any graphics programs. I dont know what it is for Nvidia.
- BravoFxTrt - 11.11.2009
You should see your water as good or better with Nvidia
- BravoFxTrt - 12.11.2009
Just got to make your GPU do the trick.

backup your conf.ini
then try this, I got a 9800GT too and find this optimal:

the source of your problem is that you turn off part of the shader 2.0 effects with ForceShaders1x=1 therefore you get an intermediate between excellent and perfect water
you can go for water=4 and effects=2 but not recommended cause theyre too heavy on fps
