potential relation between IL-2 install and gfx prob
#1

Good day gentlemen,

you are really my last hope before a system reboot/reinstall.
I already posted at SAS and just sent this very message to my HistoMod team comrades.
Last night I remembered that this forum contains by far the best hardware to IL-2 tips, so here I am.

Following prob:
After the last HistoMod install where JP accidently zipped the relevant Histo files into the wrong folder, I pressed the
default IL-2 1946 gaming exe.
I got this message, of course:

Ever since then, my anisotropic filtering does not work (properly) anymore, aynthing for which I bought my new system's card looks ugly in IL-2.

And I have this registry setting, which I can not delete:

It is the only UbiSoft registry string on my system now.
I know it sounds unbelievable, but I've seen similar things regarding graphics before with both UbiSoft and IL-2.
E.g. whenever I install IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 a second time from DVD, the same thing happens: My anisotropic filtering goes away and coastlines and cockpit parts etc are blurred.

Best thing: ALL applications are infected, everywhere more blur and less anisotropic filtering. Confusedhock:
I recall a similar issue with LockOn btw. And with FarCry...guess what: All UBiSoft titles.

Will also post this at AAS. This is not meant as bad talk vs UbiSoft, they made kickass games and I love them, but maybe some applications contain potential connections towards the graphics settings. No idea.

PS: It is not that anisotropic filtering goes away completely, it just works much less effective, could also influence anti aliasing.

And sorry, I had this very same issue a long time ago and now I hope I typed it more well-languaged.
