Enabled higher resolution on background textures. Game looks amazing. Look to see how

Entropy · 01-28-2004, 02:59 AM

Just tried this myself. Its like going from video cassete to dvd, huge diference. Runnig a P4 3.2 EE , 1g Ram at 1600 x 1200 overlay resolution and 2024 x 2024 background resolution on a Nvidia 9550 ultra.

Yes.

I don't care how bad ass your system is, walk into Jeuno's Action House during peak hours and see what happens.

Entropy · 01-30-2004, 08:43 PM

True that Belvedere.....

OK this might have already been adressed but it's a long thred.

I tried to edit my registry but I could find 0003 and 0004 instead of 003 and 004. Thinking they were the same I changed them according to the first post.

Now I am able to only change the Overlay Graphics Reseloution to a higher mark and the Background Reseloution remains the same.

Was there an update or anything that changed the values, what should I edit to get the desired results.

Gargos · 02-04-2004, 06:41 AM

When I edited the registry to enable these, I had to manually add the values in myself. I don't think they're there by default.

Zaleshea · 02-04-2004, 06:57 AM

Imagine the downtime though, with your computer trying to process those graphics that was previously not compatible with your system. I mean really....1024x1024 is enough as it is, but that's only my opinion.

Gargos · 02-04-2004, 07:32 AM

I think it's better to look at it this way: If you're running at 120 fps with 1024 (hypothetically) why not increase the detail even further and run at 60 fps? It really does make a noticable difference bumping it up from 1024 to anything above that, so it's worth the tradeoff in the end, even if your PC suffers a bit in large areas.

Just wanted to drop by....All I can say is wow. This thread as grown like wildfire since I created it. I am glad it is working out for all of you. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

myndreach · 02-13-2004, 09:46 AM

wow yes this really makes a huge difference! looks great, i hate jaggies in my games, and was mad i couldn't enable AA or use a higher res!

Peppara · 02-14-2004, 02:25 PM

This is a cool thread! Works great for me what a visual difference

Oluohoo · 02-24-2004, 08:03 PM

As much as I would like to do this I would rather spare some RAM c_c

Sabastion · 02-25-2004, 07:53 AM

I need a little help with this. I have 9800pro and enough pc power to do this but I'm using a 15" LCD with 1240x740 or something like that. Since my monitor is limited is there a point to doing this? If so which setting should I pick?

Gargos · 02-25-2004, 08:07 AM

Your monitor is independant of this adjustment. You can set the textures to 2048 resolution and have your monitor display them at 1024.

Think of it like a digital picture. If you take a small picture and blow it up to twice the size, it looks horrible. If you take a large image and shrink it down to 50%, you have much more detail contained within. It's the same deal here. The higher you go, the more quality you'll get out of your picture at whatever resolution you choose to run the game.
