new water graphics?
« on: May 27, 2006, 07:02:47 PM »
In ES, you know how there was the updated water (reflections, detail) ? :blink:

And the water detail needed to be at very high, which required an expensive graphics card. which I didn't have. :pinch:

So I looked in the setting and saw that I could change it to very high all of the sudden! i couldn't before but know I could! And I looked in-game and... it didn't work. :crying:

This was after I installed AA. Does anyone know why this happened??:huh:

You could set it to very high in ES as well. The situation is the exact same as it was before where some people can have it, and others can not. Sorry :crying:

But when I had ES, it could only go to high, there was no very high. But now there is and it didn't do anything! :crying:

Well like I said, there was a very high (at least for me) with ES. Very high means reflective water if you have the right graphics card.

I think the point is if your graphics card isn't good enough, you can't get reflective water.  That really frustrates me.

go to custom setting and put the water graphic all the way (it should say very high)
