Character, NPC and Details: Something has changed

[Archived Post]

I have all of the settings cranked up and the detail level of everything but the environment is not sharp like it was in Beta including my character, npcs and props (tents, cars, etc.).

Details become sharper when I am really close to a given object, but any distance over about 5-8 feet in game and the detail goes to crap.

I'm going to try and take a screen shot and post it for the SSOIDH crowd.

Well since people had so much lag it's probable that they fixxed it by reducing the quality of objects that are far away, check if there isn't a new slider in the video options.

Wow, AA actually makes the game look worse. WTF?

It looks fine to me....

And the AA pic look a lot sharper than the non-AA pic.

I should've saved my pics from the beta. But withouth AA it looks less sharper, look at the stone stair/thing in the left and on the "comic outline".

Its atmospheric diffusion. It is a perspective technique showing air and dust in blocking you from seeing things clearly. It is called something else int he options. Something like ocular diffusion or something. If you don't like it, uncheck that box. Also if you take off the outline things will get clearer. Here is how it looks on my end:3404

The ambulance looks better, too.

Also, I found that the game looks better WITHOUT the comic book outline, but that could just be personal preference.

That was it. Thanks guys. I got rid of the Outline, ditched the depth of field and cranked the AA up and all is beautiful in the newbie zone. :D

its just with those ugly tiles.. it was the same in open beta.. thingy on cryptic side, cause i seen hundred different people's screenshots where it looks that bad anti aliased. it is probably the comic style outlining btw, shouldnt be as worse when u turn it off. the comic style outlining is badly optimized with anti aliasing.
