2.4 Graphics
« on: September 16, 2010, 12:33:06 pm »
 Do they look worse to you guys, too? In the screenshots everything looks so bright and plastic and shiney.. I honestly have to say, 2.3 and down looks -much- more superior! Plus the explosion effects are icky too! It's like they are putting a lot of work where it doesn't' need to go and they are going three steps forwards and four back!

We have no idea what you're talking about unless you post screenshots.

On the particle test effect picture the realtime and dynamic lightning effects are deactivated because of the ATI bug. Also the new effects look mutch better in motion. If you mean the blue/bright explosion in the middle - it is a plasma explosion.

On our ModDB Game Profile you can checkout some more screenshots of the effects.

 Ah that'd be it, lightning can make all the difference on even bad textures
