Player icons work, glare

Post by Abram »

Player icons work, glare looks okay, though i have yet to see glare from teh street lights.. though the rest of the glare effects are okay.

But damnit, when running my non-Native Eyefinity resolution, the HUD and menus are off-centre. The GstRender.ScreenSafeAreaWidth fix only works about 1/5 of the time..

Looks like that patch fixed all of my 3 monitor woes. Everything looks awesome now. :)

On a side note - if anyone is looking for a platoon to join, im accepting bodies.

Is the off centered HUD

Post by numanoid »

Is the off centered HUD something that happens in single player as well as MP? I'm running non native res on my monitors and at the menu, the mouse was not "pointing" to where it was supposed to be. I am thinking this is a similar issue.

To resolve it, I set my Windows resolution to that of what I use in the game and it worked perfectly after that. I thought I read about that fix here.

So for those without centered HUDs, try setting your windows resolution to what it is in game, then launch the game and test.

Holy flashing trees batman!

Post by boppcj »

Holy flashing trees batman! Fix one thing and break another. For some reason now when in triple wide, my distant trees are flashing like crazy. Seems the only way to fix it is to play in window mode. I went from window mode to full screen in game once and it worked perfect with no flashy, but now no matter what I do or what video settings i start with, the trees are flashing!

someone fix it!

help!

Icons are in the proper place though, o/

No locking brackets

Post by TetsuBo »

Almost everything works for me. The thing I've noticed is missing is the red locking brackets for heatseakers and such.
Missing in both single and multiplayer.

I can now play on ULTRA

Post by MEAHT »

I can now play on ULTRA settings with no stuttering..yeaaaaaa!
If I was to nitpick, Id say that the ammo and minimap are on the outer monitors instead of in the middle :|

Use teh Screen Adjust setting

Post by Abram »

Use teh Screen Adjust setting in the video options to pull your HUD inwards.

This game is so sweet in multi-mon. I actually got a little nauseous while i was a chopper side gunner for a guy. that hasn't; happened in ages.

That actually happened to me too, but I was flying the chopper trying to evade a missile. My friend who was watching me play, said that the jeep rides were too much for he's stomach. lol :D

Post by 2fun »

I don't see missile lock indicator,
besides, when starting a new game, it sometimes stuck at small windowed mode. whatever I try to make it fullscreen doesn't work.

Is there a bug with 580's?
I have dual 570's and I have no issues running on 5760 with a mis of Highs and Ultras.

Everything works great now only two small issues. The missile lock missing and every now and again a capture point will not be visible. But I am so happy that they fixed it.

I don't see lock indicator with helicopter but RPG's and other bazookas as well as tanks show it. Besides, where do you need the indicator, there is the sound indicator.. ;)
