Changing settings in launcher does not affect ingame [resolved]

Post by Idisliketreyarch »

As the title says, no matter what video settings I pick, the game appears to be stuck on the low setting.

Here are two pictures. One is from when I launched the game with 'low' setting. Another is with high.

As you can see, they are exactly the same level of detail.

I also will upload a couple showing how the distant objects are exactly the same. It will take a while though as loading maps takes some time for me, about a few minutes.

High:

Low:

This would be much easier to test if video settings weren't disabled in game...

EDIT:

Okay, here are some 1080p pictures to better illustrate just how identical the two settings are.

High setting:

Low setting:

It should now be obvious without even looking at the second picture that something is severely wrong here. So I would like some help. This should not be happening. My install was not corrupt in any way. I torrented.

EDIT 2:

Here is my info if you want it. Don't see how it will help though.

As you can see I have two profiles but I am launching from the first one, which is set to all high. I will try from the other profile and see what happens.

Ok, nevermind, it appears that I was launching from the second profile by accident... my mistake guys.
