FarCry messed water reflection

lmetza · Jul 13, 2004, 06:22 PM

When i turn the water to Ultra High i get odd water reflections, like ille walk onto a dock and the top of each pole will be reflected across the water (dont know whats up with that), then when i go to the Mine in the water at the beach and look at it, its reflection doesnt look right @ all. Im useing fw 61.36 on my 5900xt. Anyone kno whats up with this?

you might get more of a response in the nvidia driver forum.

have you tried other drivers ?

I added a couple pics, the 56.72 gave me the same problem. I havent tried the omega yet, i also have the 61.72 which i may try out since they are whql.

I'm afraid that until patch 1.2 FC is buggy as hell on the geforce FX. Best i can suggest is wait or force your device id to be the same as a Radeon 9800 using 3d analyse then launch the game through that.

damn, i wonder if they will ever release that patch. Well i guess i can live with very high water settings instead, as i do not get this messed up stuff on very high, only on ultra.

you may want to give this article a read.

FarCry Patch v1.2 With Shader Model 3.0 from tomshardware.

some good jpegs showing the differences between the fx and ati cards.

or This one by veridian3

as far cry does strugle a little on v high settings on a fx5900 256mb.but mostly the interior sections of the game.

I got shadows at medium right now, everything else at very high, im getting 30-50fps in most areas, indorrs it's around 30 usually. I was even able to use 2xAF for outdoor areas and still maintain 40fps +. But on the "Boat" level the very first island u go on to get the bombs, the performance was HORRIBLE until i got off that island. The rest of the islands didnt do what happened on the first, i dont know what that was but it was messed.
How would i go about enabling the r300 runpath for farcry, now i think theres 2 tho, a fp32 and fp16 so im not sure what one would be best to use for me.
