Frictional Games Forum

The game is badass I love it , great atmosphere. However there is one thing which is keeping the experience from being perfect. I seem to be getting alot of white spots where specular / bumpmapping is used ( I think ). I have tried differnet resoloutions , toggling on and off all graphics options , removing AA/AF to no avail. Here are a couple screenshots.




My ststem configuration is as follows.

ATI Radeon 1900 XTX
Catalyst 6.5 Drives
Windows XP x64
Latest Direct X Runtime
AMD Opteron 165
Abit AT8 32X
4GB Ram

Thanks for any help with this!

I have the same problem ,, Quite annoying.
I have this :

ATI Radeon x1600 512mb
Catalyst 6,4 i think
Windows XP
Direct X 9.0c
2,4 processor
1024mb RAM

on my x1800xl(cat6.5) it looks like this:

Hmmm... have to look into this further. Thanks for letting us know!

Can you try and go into Catalyst center and turn the A.I option off.

When I had an ATI card I got problems like that when using the A.I optimization part of Catalyst.

It works on cat ai standard , it only looks ugly on cat ai advanced. I still have the white pixels problem reported in this thread and i can't set the resolution higher than 1152*868

thanks

I still get the whiteout issue with all different levels of Catalyst A.I set. If you want to get higher than 1152X868 go into the "redist" folder in your Penumbra folder and edit the "settings.cfg" file. In there twoards the top you will see a resoloution section where you can manually change your rez.

I know its pretty obvious , but from posts from other users who have tried the game this seems to be an issue isolated to Radeon X1000 series users.

Hy everybody, thanks for the nice work..

I'm currently using an X800XT, AI disabled and have the same graphic corruption (sort of 4 bit rendering).
I'm stuck at 60hz. Is it a way to go little higher ?

Thanks..

Hello again

Seems i asked too quickly.

In fact, using Ati Tray Tool and changing "Texture preference" and "Mip Map Detail level" both from quality too high quality solved the graphic "4 bits" problem.
I've found the post about the 60 hz problem and will try refrechlock.
Thanks..

hi,
i seem to have been getting the same problem. Im using an imac intelcoreduo, 1.8 ghz and an ati mobility radeon x1600, 128mb. probably has to do with the XPSP2 is installed on bootcamp wich is in beta... its sad i cant fix this, the game seems very nice but i dont think ill play like this.
