a huge problem!

[Teras 67]

after installing jun2010 update i got this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when i change effects to medium its gone but the lenz flare and so much effects gone also and the game looks bad

so , any clue?

[Wrench 9,792]

that's a damn weird effect, for sure!

 

do you have an 3rd Party effect package installed? If so, remove/delete (ie: just rename the /Effects folder) it. Test again with the stock effects, and see what it looks like. Might be something incompatable hiding in there, or a video driver issue (hopefull not)

Are you running it under DX9, or under DX10?

[Teras 67]

DX10 wich comes with it

[Teras 67]

no help?

[xclusiv8 35]

have you tried reinstalling the game?

[Teras 67]

yes i did but no changes

[Fubar512 1,350]

Did you try new drivers, and or making adjustments within your graphic adapter's 3D settings?

[xclusiv8 35]

So this if only visible on high and unlimited effect settings?

[Teras 67]

yes , and also on high effect settings

if i witch it to medium it works fine but no lenz flares and so much beuty gone

[Fubar512 1,350]

What are your system specs? In particular, what garphics card are you running?

well actually no , coz my graphic card is built-in my laptob is hp pavilon dv4 and everyting works just fine i play crysis on high settings and also cod 7 , but i dont know why this happend now for sf2

btw when install a clean game ( with no updates ) its works fine with all unlimited settings!

also i dont know where to get new drivers from

[Teras 67]

intel core i3 pros

windows 7 ultimate

4 gb ddr3 ram

1 gb intl graphic card built-in

500 gb of hard disk

[FastCargo 412]

1 gb intl graphic card built-in

 

That's probably the issue right there. Intel integrated graphics are notorious for not being able to run SF2 properly at higher graphics settings.

If you mean WoI (and not SF2I), that's a DX9 title. Perhaps your graphics adapter cannot handle ThirdWire's implementation of DX10.

[Teras 67]

i mean sf2I all settings is unlimited and i can show you a picture

Well he seems to be able to run the game when not patches with all the settings on high. but when he patches it the problems occur. Was something graphically added in the new patch guys?

[FastCargo 412]

Yea...bump mapping and full DX10 support.

 

It's real simple...Intel intergrated graphics are notorious for not being able to run SF2 with all the bells and whistles (mainly advanced shaders). I've seen this several times in several threads.

 

Try going into your options.ini file and find these 2 lines:

 

UseAdvancedShaders=1

ForceDX9=FALSE

 

Set them to:

 

UseAdvancedShaders=0

ForceDX9=TRUE

 

If things work okay, then do this:

 

UseAdvancedShaders=0

ForceDX9=FALSE

 

If things still work okay, then reset the UseAdvancedShaders parameter to 1. If the problems come back, that's your issue.

 

You may just have to accept running in DX9 mode, and/or without the advanced shaders.

so , any clue?

 

Keep in mind that you can select "custom" graphics settings where you can have different combinations of low, med, high, and unlimited settings for different things (so, for example, you can have lense flare but have other things set to medium or low). You could start with medium settings across the board and then increase individual settings one at a time until you find the cuplrit.

 

In the graphics setttings drop down menu, select medium. Then go back into the menu and select "customize". Make changes from there.

 

Of course, given that shaders are part of the problem, this may or may not make a difference.
