Textures disappear ???

[NeoxXx]

Why the textures of objects situated far off disappear?
(Especially with the binoculars)

That often arrives on vehicules, houses, soldiers and object.

I have a 8800Gts and the last drivers 177.92

There is an addon for this problem? Thanks

[OkitaMakoto]

got any Screenshots?

Things arent as detailed at distances, but textures dont disappear... or shouldnt disappear...

Ohh, thats just pop up that happens on a lot of maps. Draw distance set by map maker can help some of the, but I dont think it can totally eliminate it. Thats what happens on an older game...

If I change "VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1" to "VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 2" in video.con That can correct the problem ??

You'll get kicked for edited files though... so no. You can't.

You can't get around this.

It's False youre not kicked for edited video.con
You can edit this file for optimized a game

Ok... didnt know what file you meant... ummm... go for it, but thats like adding an eleven where only up to 10 is programmed... Just cuz you can add it... doesnt mean it will work. Like textures and such, some said you could add a 5 where only 4s were on high and get a MAX HIGH setting but... meh.

Go for it though...

well EA/dice blocked the ultra high setting in one patch but you COULD still do it via editing the text files. but both ways have now been blocked but it used to actually work.

Yes, key words 'used to' it used to actually work because those settings were at one point, actual settings, just not reachable by the menu

If a number is given a set of variables it can be you cant just toss your own in, specifically in something like this. My guess is the variable is limited from 0.0[actually .5 I think, since you can decrease your view to 50%] to 1.0

If not, thats a serious hole in the settings programming, allowing anyone to vastly increase their texture view distance[though it would quickly meet the edge of the levels fog settings anyway]

Look the car on this video, at 02:03' there are a same problem

They are a solution for this problem??

[OkitaMakoto]

The flickering black texture? No, nothing you can do unless we incorporate the Z fighting fixes into all maps. Even then it doesn't solve it entirely. BF2 is just old.

[NeoxXx]

BF2 is just old.

No solution ???

[OkitaMakoto]

No solution ???

In a nutshell, there's nothing you as a player can do. There is something that PR can do, but it comes with its own problems/side effects/etc. So take delight in knowing that the DEVs are aware of a possible fix and will get it in if it works how its wanted. In fact, I thought it was going to be in .8, maybe it is... but maybe only on some maps... I'm not sure.

But yes, basically, BF2 is just old.
