Graphics options

[Rt. Hon. Gentleman]

Hi all,

I really am enjoying the demo, however the low draw distance of the ground grasses etc is starting to annoy me a bit, and it doesn't seem to be like that in the screenshots. Is there a "graphics options" menu somewhere which I cannot see to adjust graphics, resolution, etc?

Thanks.

At least we can change the font, the standard one is terrible for the eyes 

I suspect that JMM has removed all the graphic options from the demo

You can adjust some things in the initDiag.txt.
'#Largeur' and '#Hauteur' for resolution change. '#Densité arbres', '#Densité herbes' and '#LoD' should normally increase the draw distance I guess, I can't see any difference after adjusting these however. Maybe some options are disabled in the demo.

AA and AF can be enforced via driver settings.

Will there be a graphics adjustment in the final game ?, to allow for all the many different pc spec's out there.....

Me to, lets hope it's only a "demo" problem.

If you force anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering on the game from your graphics card panel as recommended in another thread the graphics look pretty darned nice, even zoomed in close, considering there are thousands and thousands of men on the field.

Graphics are never my number one priorty but I did as suggested and they look very good, is this what everyone else is getting ?.

Are you playing in 640x480?

[Gunner24]

No, I think that's something to do with image shack, or this forum.

1024x768 is my screen setting.

I followed the tips here and agree that the graphics are much more than just acceptable. Given the sheer variety of uniforms for this period, although secondary to game play, it would have been a shame if this had been 'lost': luckily it hasn't been imo.

The terrain graphics bother me more than the units, but overall the look isn't so bad considering the grand scale of the game.

I did end up changing the Austrian Leibfahne flag to a Ordinarfahne. For no particular reason other than I prefer the yellow flag.

If you start to mod, it means than people like the game (as is love it I hpe). Then it's a good signal.

Terrain textures are very dark and need to be more lighter (especially low ground textures). Can it be moded or changed in full game's video options?

Trying not to cross-post but my comment here may help out with gfx -

I'll look at your different ideas about the GUI and other graphics options.
If I can, I'll try to include the modifications within the patch of the demo.

In the game, there is a software both for setting the options and launching the different software (LGdN, Tools)
In the option, you can choose the resolution and some other features.

About the light of textures; it varies during the day, max at 12:00 AM, varying with the season too.

Yes, the light does change. 

I returned to a game yesterday and discovered the light to be quite queer.  Then I realised it was 8pm game time and sunset! 

Sweet.
