ok try this, launch the game with radeon pro in back the background obv and screenshot it, then close the game/radeon pro and then relaunch the game, same spot, same everything, screenshot. then compare them to be sure it not working for you first. Focus mainly on med-distance trees

Thanks

A crt monitor image wise will beat out ANY 300$ plus lcd monitor. CRT color depth and quality wise (and basic response time) DESTROYS lcds. Only the top of the top lines lcds can keep up with them. goto a hock shop and pickup a used crt for $5. Its quality will blow u away. I watch most my movies on my 19" crt still due to this. Unless your going to fork over $500 for one of the new flat screens with all the new tech (like the stuff we saw at ces) then crt will ALWAYS win. The reason crts have faded out is there size.

Patches shouldnt be a issue. Editing lods can be done in any game and should never cause a conflict

titan is a long ways off. look forward to planetside 2, firefall, guild wars 2, and diablo 3

ooooo harsh

Actually at times I have noticed that having MSAA enabled has INCREASED my performance, crazy? Well my thought is since this game does not use my crossfire well and it scales it to crap. perhaps forcing MSAA is 'allowing' more of my gpu to be used instead of being idle. it sounds crazy but I do remember saying "why is my framerate higher then before" after tweaking a few times. Are you running sli or crossfire or a single card? If its a single card forget everything I just said

Where in my instructions did I ever state to open the game through radeon pro lol. Just have it in the background and a profile set.

There never going to recommend a third party tool. It would just cause so many issues with the people who cant get it working right. within 1min of posting it they would have 10 replys saying it broke there game. The average person will try anything even if they have no clue what it is, people are, well st*p*d lol. Plus people would assume bioware would give them support for the tool and it would just cause confusion. its scary but do you have any idea how many people dont even know about graphics options, roughly what they do, or how they effect performance. I always get a when im trying to help some random in trade chat who says there game lags. I ask something simple like what resolution are you running or what are so and so settings set at, and they reply 'where can I see that'. This is why we cant have nice things.

Bioware sent me a warning for this topic lol, apparently im hurting there community with this??? OW nm it was because I was rude to one of the guys who couldnt get it working..... had me thinking bioware didnt want you doing this lolz, I was about to be like "THIS IS THE LINE!"

U are sure both your distance sliders are at 100% for grass and tree? I find it hard to think that nvidia would for "whatever" reason render grass shorter. I have a nvidia rig as well (I actually have 5 computers lol ) and it doesnt have a issue like your describing.

Also make sure your running the game in your full native res. im not trying to be insulting but I have seen/done this for many people a lot of times now, it made a difference (a large difference) every time. this isnt a trick or some troll, it just works. If u cant see a difference you either did something wrong or have the worst hardware I can imagine

monitors crap or your blind. The difference is night and day. go look at any metal texture or trees at a distance.

For the ATI guys/gals I recommend using catalyst 11.9 with the latest 11.9 cap. 11.10/11.11/11.12/and 12.1 beta gave me reduced performance. BF3 still runs awesome on 11.9 the only game u will lose out on is rage. atm for swtor I deff recommend 11.9 with 11.9 cap4 and radeon pro (for tweaking and crossfire stuff)

Im not a wow fanboy. But at least I have MANY setting options in Wow and even totally maxed out x8 AA it looks better and runs better. But I really cant compare a game as old as wow with this. Wow has had A LOT more time to optimize stuff

Lol no hate on u bro but u didnt do it right Im going to assume u got the settings right, perhaps radeonpro is not detecting the game. make sure u direct it to the game exe (THE GAME EXE NOT THE LUNCHER) and also set the launcher option and direct it to the launcher. game should show up in your recently played section of radeonpro if it detected it. If thats all good then u did not set it correctly. Double check slowly. If your on nvidia ask someone to upload a directional video like I did. Remember u want negative values for LOD not positive

I found the fps dip from just LOD change is very small. its adding AA to help clean the image up that hurts the frame rate. least in my tests

This is not a way to enabled high res textures. its just a way to make the textures we have look a bit sharper and better.

HA yea I did the same when I was figuring this stuff out, shoulda seen my face lolz

Yes its not our job to fix this, but since we all know bioware aint doing nuttin for a bit, might as well try right. Im in the progress of added a fxaa (post effect modifier) as well as im trying to see if switching out the game files with the ones from when we had high res texture could trick the game in newayz. I feel with all this tweaking I might get banned soon but meh, Tweaking this game atm is more fun then the game itself

I play a lot of mmos and with this tweak the game looks better then 90% of them. And since when do graphics make a game. I can go back to super mario (any of them) and still have a great time. YES WE WERE LIED TO but since that isnt going to change stop crying about it, If you dont like the game then dont play it, dont spread hate through the forums plz

Try adding x2 or x4 AA aswell, this will help clean up the image

Yes u want negative values. that voice over was just my bad broski. negatives = sharper textures positives = washed out textures

Yes this does work, u did something wrong....
