[EL] Low resolution textures *FIXED*

[Danieru_x]

Hi Vice,
I am hoping the new release is selling well. I purchased the minute I found out it was available (big fan of EM).

I am just having one small issue with the game as it's only using low resolution textures in the game, mostly visible in the cockpit textures and also space star background texture. I have played with all the settings in the settings option menu and also re-started the client many times.

I have also checked my "switchable graphics" options for my PC (2GB ATI Radeon video card with 8GB ram - my PC can run fallout 4 so I don't think it's a hardware issue... also graphics card drivers are updated) and I just can't get the game to use the higher resolution textures that I've seen in other players screenshots/videos.

I'll submit a screenshot once I'm home again but I just wanted to submit this to see if you have any clue what may be causing this.

Thanks so much, keep up the great work. You make me a very happy man.

Regards,
Dan

I ran into a situation with one tester who was using an older ATI video card that seemed to automatically down-sample the textures to much lower resolution. It was apparently due to some kind of internal memory limitation with that particular chipset. I doubt it would be a factor with a 2GB card. Perhaps check the AMD/ATI control panel to see if any non-default setting are in place. Might want to also try switching to a full screen mode (Locked (FS) NoVsync for example), then restart the game to see if that might change the display switching behavior between integrated and dedicated.

Thanks Vice! I'll try this tonight and let you know!

Hi Vice,
The issue was fixed by changing my AMD Catalyst settings. It was the mipmap detail setting. It was set to performance, so I set it to quality and it solved the problem. See attached screenshot here http://prntscr.com/9sf1c5

Thanks again so much. Now I can enjoy in higher quality
