Graphic terrain problems

kubus21299

Since last update(yasterday) I have problem with terrain graphic. I did not have it before update. Could you help me to solve the problem

BillyRuffian#6250

What are your graphics settings?

kubus21299

I have played on classic medium graphics and before update everythig was Ok

BillyRuffian#6250

Try deleting or renaming your preferences.script.

kubus21299

I deleted it and still dosen't work. How to rename it?

BillyRuffian#6250

If deleting it didn't work renaming it won't either. The onlty difference would be that if you had renamed it you would have been able to resvert back to it more easily.

Could you upload a copy of the preferences.script, your Dxdiag, and modified log, please.

Do you use an older graphics solution such as an old GeForce 9000-series card?

Yep, as I thought. Another player who used a GTS 250 had the same problem. He, interestingly, put a GeForce GT220 in, and now, the game runs fine.

kubus21299

So I have to but nie graphic card to fix the problem? Before update everything was fine

BillyRuffian#6250

The whole thing, but you should be able to drag and drop rather than copy and paste.

Something else to try is to manually delete all mods and unsubscribe from them before relaunching the game.

Migz

Now that we're seeing evidence of a trend regarding some older cards not playing well with the new update, I believe that CA should be able to find a solution. So, I wouldn't purchase a new card just yet.

Meanwhile, you can revert to patch 19 through the Betas tab in the Steam library.

----------------------------------
Edit: Cards that have shown problems so far are the NVIDIA GeForce GTS250, Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT, and Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT.

2nd Edit: Another card with problems is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS

kubus21299

I can not drag and drop it. I have deleted all mods and still doesn't work. I will revert my game to older patch. How can I contact CA to tell them about mistake?

BillyRuffian#6250

CA reads this forum, even if they don't respond to each post, so they will know from here.

kubus21299

Ok, thanks guys I will wait for respond from CA or new patch

Denkirk

I have the same problem: everything used to work fine before the update, now huge graphic problems with terrain both in battles and during the campaign.

I use a GeForce 9500 GT.

Let's hope for news from CA...

giodfas

Donofwar3

64bite support

kubus21299

I still have the same problem, maybe someone have found a solution?

giodfas

no i still have the same problem and i cant find nothing to work...Does CA watch this forum??

kubus21299

Probably not

giodfas

Hey guys did anything change??can you play ancestral or i have to buy new graphics card?

kubus21299

I checked it one week ago and still the same.

chikosan

i have Geforce 9600 GT , and my campaign is looking crap like in this guy's photos too , i will change to patch 19 beta because i still want to play this game at all costs

CA , PLEASE FIX THIS !!!!!!!

EDIT : has any solution come to this day ? does anyone know?

Fireflyer

epic_159733062650ipC6PXf

It's a crappy GPU what did you guys expect??
End of the story.

Fireflyer

Well we did expect to keep playing the same game we played. Not WH2 neither TK.

EmperorSilev

Attila runs fine tho.

Ssake
