I've been having problems for the longest time with the textures on the clouds, smoke, and horizons in WOE. I've tried updating video drivers, rolling back video drivers, adjusting my video settings, and nothing has worked. So I took a look at the options.ini file and to see if there might be something in there that is causing my problems. This is what my options.ini file has for the grphics options. Now, if detail is set to high, it should have a number 2 next to it. And if the detail is in reference to something being anything over high (which I think would only be one graphics option in WOE, indicating a setting of "Far") it would have the number 3 after it. I also figure that anything with a 1 next to it is refering to either the option being on or off. Anyways, I noticed that both LensFlare and CloudsDetail are set to 0. If I change this to a 2, will it improve anything or screw my install?

displaydepth at 16 would mean 16 bits colours.....should be 32 to enjoy all "tranparent" effects, like clouds, smoke, etc...

 

dunno what video card you run, but 16 bits is not ideal, far from it

Yeah, that's weird. It's supposed to be 32. In fact, that's what it says in-game in the options menu. Any idea why it shows up in the ini as 16?

O.K., I'm officially a dumb @$$. I swear I had 32 bit selected, but I guess I was wrong. All this time, I couldn't figure out why the hell my clouds were all F-ed up and it's because I wasn't paying attention to my own s***. I guess you could say my head was in the clouds. Gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
