Hi,
I come back with an old problem. Tried a long time the settings of
the first post. But i always got a black screen with sh3 when i started it.
I altere the aa setting to application and that worked. But then i got
a jaggied horizon.

Now i have tried aa supersampling 4x4 and that gives the solution
for me for a correct horizion. But now i have a golfball sun. (flat)

When i use shift page/up the sun glows but the jaggied horizon comes back.

My specs
Geforce 260gtx
driver 195.62

Few thoughts:

-4x multisampling is the max that will work without side-effects
-Be sure to disable "gamma correction" in nHancer/Nvidia CP.

Make sure the profile is active if you make these changes in a game-specific profile! :yep:

My opion is that sh3 and sh4 has been thrown on one pile.

This sticky had to be seperatly made for sh3 / sh4.

No, that doesn`t work, get the black screen again.

Same engine, same tricks to make it work. No problem putting them on the same pile in this case imho. :D



Didn't we have this conversation before? I posted an image with explanation and as far as I can tell it worked for you. :06:

You are right Arctic,

Got also black screens in the past with these settings. Now it works.
Horizon is good but the sun is flat.

But i can live with it.


Thanks mate :salute:

Ah, wait, I think I had that as well. Works at first, but then the halo disappears. Fixed it by toggling the settings for the driver, and then it would work untill I rebooted or something. :hmmm:

It's a bit of hit and miss really. Problem is the game just doesn't support AA natively.

When you toggle in the game with shift/page up you have a fine sun
but then the jaggies are coming back..

btw, I have bought and installed a cheap little fan, and my 7600gs is now running at smooth 90°C:DL ...coming from the mac side of the world actually and have still some things to learn with pc's

Never touched the in-game filter thingy, just setting up the profile properly should do the trick. :hmmm:
That's more acceptable. :yep:

I never let my card go above 80-85C, but it has a big dual-slot cooler. Definitely makes it more manageable. :)

My gpu is much cooler during gaming.
I do use rivatuner, here is a tutorial to set it up,

Thanks! But I already use Riva Tuner. First used it to actually downclock my passive cooled gs7600, now have it slightly overclocked.

Blocky oil and fire
 

I am having blocky oil spills in the and blocky fire on board ships. There was a thread that solved this issue, but the file to fix it is not gone. I am using Nhancer and I running the following MODS:

4 Ships_Reflect and Caustic_Environment Mod 5.1
AOBF 16-9 Res
Captain's Desk Photos 26
EAX_Sound_Sim
EAXsoundsim_with_WebstersManeuver_RFB2
MaxOptics 3 for SH4_1.5_051509
Merchant Skin Pack
RFB_2.0
SH4 Flag Replacement
Webster's Missing Voices for v1.4 & v1.5
RSRDC_RFB_V575
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1

I am getting ready to undue some of the MODS to see if I can locate which one changed things. If anyone has a better idea, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Got a link to that thread? Maybe we can recreate that fix. :hmmm:

I just tried these settings, and when I started up Sh4 all I got was a black screen. I could hear the menu music, but nothing was showing up.

Welcome aboard. :salute:

Sounds familiar, but I can't remember the fix. :hmmm:

Few questions:
What card are you using?
What version of the game are you running?
What driver version are you running?
Are you using Nhancer?
