Hi Mates,

I just have bought a new computer, which works well ;o)

I would like to give a try to IL2 COD, but i have very bad textures even if I select highest graphics... Look :

Video configuration


In game textures













Here my spec :

Toshiba 15,6",Intel Core i7-3630QM , 2,4 Ghz , Windows 8, 64 bits, 8 Go RAM, SATA 1To 5400 tours/min, DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT650
Optimus, Intel ® HD Graphics 4000

Any idea ???

Thanks for your help ;o)

Ted

PS:I run Red Orchestra 2 highest graphics well, Payday and sniper elite2 too.

Hi, Ted


The images reveal that you are missing bump mapping texture of the terrain and sea lacks shading to say the least. The texture on the aircraft shows a lack of shine. Many of the buildings lack windows. Major problems your CoD settings have! Does CoD have a configuration file (conf.ini)? If it does, then please post an image of it.

Experiment with Qualité des textures (texture quality), increase Ombrage terrestre (terrain shading), and you may need to check or uncheck filter for anti-epilepsy. In some games or simulations it is best to let the software handle settings, so you might want to switch from Personalize mode.

I don't use COD so I am only guessing with the French words and by past experience with games and simulations. :wink:

I updated my drivers before taking the screenshots, working with Directx11, and when I check/uncheck filter for anti-epilepsy, no changes. No changes when I select high textures/ Normal texures/ Highest textures... I have very nice water, but all the other textures are bad, even in the game (during a flight) and in the options where you can see the objects (ie, mission configurator)...

BTW my first victory today : a 110 ;o)

But with this settings I will not see the very-well-done-skins-of-CM6

Ted,

The above quote of your conf.ini has the yellow text reply for you to try.

Intructions: Keep a clean, untouched copy of your conf.ini somewhere. Try the first change. Right click the mouse button for the conf.ini file and change the Properties to READ-ONLY and click the apply button. Close your CoD. Restart and test if there is a change. Close CoD. Undo the READ-ONLY to make another change. Repeat the process as you add the suggestions I gave one test cycle at a time. Apply READ-ONLY each time you want a change to remain. Undo READ-ONLY to make any change and reapply READ-ONLY after each change. As you see changes, make a note of it and keep the settings which make a nice difference for you.

Hi Clinton,

I did everything step by step, but no changes at all. At each step, I see the same textures. The game runs well, it is fluid no FPS problems but with textures like that, it hurts the eyes !!! Maybe a computer issue ? :|

Drivers are updated, my Nvidia controller is OK. I have this problem only with COD, as I run Sniperelite v2, Red Orcehstra Heroes of Stlingrad, and Payday very well with good textures... :-?

Does anybody know if there is a compatibility problem with Windows8 ?

Thanks for the help ;o)

Ted

[Fireskull]

Try to run the sim in Compatibility Mode under Properties of the .exe which you explore by right clicking on the file.


Clinton

[Jambo]

Salut Ted,

remember that you've got two conf.ini with CoD.
One on your PC and one at Steam. And Steam likes to overwrite your conf.ini...
You have to deactivat the "Cloud" in Steam...

And with your conf.ini you might try following parameters as well:

[window]
Render=D3D09_0 for Windows XP
D3D10_0 for Windows 7
D3D11_0 for WIN7/64 & HD6950 - > Try this one!
width=1920
height=1080
posLeft=0
posTop=0
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=1
Frequency=60
StereoMode=0

[rts]
ProcessAffinityMask=15 (depending of the cores (15=4 cores) your NB have)

Code:

[core]
RandSeed = 0
TexQual=3
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=0
Shadows=1
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
LandShading=2
LandDetails=2
Sky=3

Good luck!

Hallo Jambo,

Wie geht's es dir ??

Gut, gut, super gut ??? (das war eine Singe von Modo, kennst-du ?)

So regarding my problems: nothing changed, I tryed everything you wrote, nothing helped. It might come from my computer, maybe Windows8, maybe from my drivers... I tryed a lot of things, same results... It's frustrating...

Ted

[Fireskull]

Personally, I feel that Windows 7 is the best OS in the world. I recommend returning to it. Win 7 will be my OS of choice for quite a while.

The direction that Microsoft is going with Windows 8 is not good for legacy software in my opinion. Win 8 is aimed at touch screens which I hate because of a smudgy screen and I hate screen pens for every screen action as an alternative, so I will stick with my mouse - thank you! I have read about many problems people are having with software that they like not running right or not at all with Win8. In my opinion it is clear that every time a new operating system is introduced then there are problems with previous existing software at least for a while with some of them.

I feel that Windows 7 will meet my needs for years to come.


Clinton

[Jambo]

Bonjour Ted,

mir geht es ganz gut, hoffe Dir auch!?

I'm really sorry that no clue solves your problem..

I do have to concur with Clinton, Windows 7 is and will be my OS too for as long as it might possible... for similiar reasons...

I will have a look or too agein if I find anything helping you Ted!

Wish you (all of you) a nice weekend!

Jambo :wink:

[LeBigTed]

Thanks a lot guys, I really hope it will help !!

BTW I tryed different compatibilities such as Win XP, Win 7, but always those God Dam' Textures... I can't see no details on the planes...

Looks like the conf.ini doesn't load.

Ted

[LeBigTed]

Nothing changed...

I Pm'ed CM6, as I have seen in his album he might have the same problem.

I hope he knows how to proceed...

will keep you update ;o)

Ted

[LeBigTed]

Little Update :

I tryed the clear the cache, nothing changed.

I will try to update IL2 COD thanks to ATAG's patches and updates, and I am waiting for Keith's Nvidia settings... we will see ;o)

Ted

[nic1]

Try to reinstall the game (?) Don't know if it will work or you tried it...

[LeBigTed]

Hi gents,

I reinstalled today, but nothing happend when I launch it. I see the planes on my desktop...

So I am obliged to install the patch for Win 8.

Ted
