Video Settings from Ufo AI please help
« on: May 24, 2010, 10:49:20 pm »
Hi all, i need help with my video settings in game, cause i dont see no dynamic lights or light reflections from textures... im play the 2.3beta rev30111, i found a video where a guy shoot a rocket across the whole map ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6k9pR3sRv8&feature=related ) and it looks awesome... but if im play this game it looks worst. :D
i dont know what i did wrong... i try to set all settings most high as possible but alot settings are confused, maybe someone post a screenshot for me with the best quality settings for video options please.

Referring to your post
http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=3843.msg38898#msg38898

Compiling maps using the fast switch will produce exactly that
Deselect fast
select clean
wait some hours (athlon XP? build them over night!)

Dont forget to remove the clean switch next time
or you will recompile all maps again!

Im use currently the win32 installer from Destructavator and im asked him already about that ( http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2830.msg38926#msg38926 ), im give up on svn cause i dont want to convert my partitions on NTFS.

if anyone post a screenshot from his video settings with the best possible quality settings would help me or just tell me what i have to change for a better look.

here are my currently settings:

You can also increase "Swap interval" and "Anisotropy level".

Granted I haven't googled it. But what exactly is swap interval? And what does it do?

Side note... has anybody else experienced freezes when using the ingame resolution setting? EVERYtime I do, it will freeze upon trying to enter a tactical map. If I edit the config file to put in desired resolution, it works fine.

It's Vsync related? Why don't they just call that option Vsync then? :D

i cant increase "swap interval" cause its bugged with nvidia cards maybe... watch this.
