CS gets all blurry after some distance ...

[MrGrim]

... what's that all about? You can even see the seperating line between the OK part of the stage and the blurried part. I've got a GF3 and I'm using 23.11 drivers.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Anisotropy on?

 

[yata]

Try the 23.12 driver. This new one let's you set Aniso at different rates.

 

[MrGrim]

Anisotropy is off.

 

[demenion]

Set Anisotrophy to max and your problems should be gone.

 

[LuDaCriS66]

Yup yup.. that should solve your problem.. after all, that's what anistropy is for

It's called mipmapping and it's been around for years and years. It's suppose to get blurry at a distance. The visual effect lessens with anisotropic texture filtering. An LOD bias adjustment works too.

Ok guys I'll give it a try and let you know. It's just that I never had this problem with my V5 and my other games seem to be ok. It's just very noticable in CS I suppose ...

Thanx

 

[MrGrim]

It's much better now, thank you everybody.

MrGrim are you playing CS in OpenGL mode since it looks better then D3D mode?

 

[MrGrim]

Yes.

It sounds like you're also using bilinear filtering. Use trilinear filtering to smooth out those lines and to give you smoothly blended mipmaps.

 

[Ogo]

to use the trilinear filter in CS, type this in the console:
gl_texturemode gl_linear_mipmap_linear

might also want to add it to your autoexec so that you don't have to put it in every time you play

Thank you for the tips.
