Graphics - QUESTION

Post by RJP3 »

Is there a way in Evochron Legends to turn OFF "Mipmap Textures"? I am runnig a older system and the graphics on some ships is a little funny looking, however, I have the same issue with Evochron Renegades and if I turn OFF "Mipmap Textures" than everything looks just fine...

Thanks for the help!

Turning them off? Do you mean lowering the quality? I don't think you could turn them off, otherwise objects from far away would have no textures (or maybe all textures would just be crappy, even close up?). Try lowering Anisotropic Filtering in your video card's control panel.

What kind of graphics card are you using? If you're using an nVidia card, you can simply create a game profile for Evochron with AF disabled and you can even force mipmaps to Bilinear or Trilinear. I haven't used ATI in a long time, so I don't recall if they had a feature for game profiles in the Catalyst Control Center.

The option was 'deprecated' for the new game since some of them are actually pre-mipmapped at load time. It should work fine though, unless your system is below the minimum spec.

Try some of the suggestions EB posted above. If it continues, post your system specs in detail.
