[DC] texture-settings problem

[Bsycho]

ok, first i'd like to say i've already read most posts and used search function. i found some similar problems but no solution did help me in any way.

i have dark crusade w/o DoW+WA installed by using the workaround by vecctor to save space (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=114748).

now my problem is that the textures look very blurred, like being on low or medium setting.
note that they DONT change in any way if i switch the texture to low, med or high!

some example:

this is a shot from the army painter.

now look at the one from graphic test (GraphicsConfig.exe):

you can see the biggest difference at the bolter for example

the graphic test sets the quality to medium by default.

finally local.ini (note that i tried fullres_teamcolour=1)

i also used -forcehighpoly command with no result at all (as far as i can see that).
maybe i should try to do a complete reinstall, keep dow+wa but thats about 3 or 4gb wasted space and i dont even know its the issue.

i hope someone can help me here.
thx bsycho

screenantialias=0

Set this to "1". Also make sure your graphics card has AA turned on to "Application decides".

[Bsycho]

i know what anti-aliasing does.

already tried it out but for now im focusing on getting the textures to work properly, any ideas?

[GroundZero]

I fail to see what your issue is here?
I understood it to be the jagged edges and blurry effects of the models ingame - AA sorts this out to an extent.

What is the texture issue if it is not related to the jagged edges and blur?

[Bsycho]

"jagged edges" is not about textures this refers to the game resolution and anti-aliasing.

both increasing resolution or aa doesnt help to improve the textures itself.

the most weird thing is, that i cant set the textures higher to look like the ones in the graphics test.

in fact the ingame textures DONT CHANGE AT ALL, no matter what settings (low/med/high) i use. and call me wrong but i think this isnt supposed to be so.

[Bsycho]

*bump*
i really need to fix this :(

[brother-horus]

put this in the local.ini, fullres_teamcolour=1, that changes a lot of things in battle

but in the army painter i dont know if it changes anything, res is forced low in AP, that is only to do with the army painter, ingame they will be high res

[GroundZero]

put this in the local.ini, fullres_teamcolour=1, that changes a lot of things in battle

Brother-horus, if you read his first post you will see that he has already tried this.
finally local.ini (note that i tried fullres_teamcolour=1)


Bsycho - there is little more we can do, except wait for a word from Relic on this issue.

[Adonis]

No need to wait for Relic, I have the answer.

The texture you see in the graphics test, and on the main menu for Dawn of War, is a 1024 x 1024 pixel texture. The ones used in skirmish, multiplayer, and the campaign are 512 x 512, hence why they look blurry compared to the other texture.

The graphic isn't going to get any better. There's nothing wrong with the game.

[AnimeGodz]

im sure i remember seeing more detail ingame but?

[davisbe]

I have mine on 1280*1024 with fullres_teamcolour and forcehighpoly both enabled, and there is a world of difference. I'm not sure about how the type of graphics card would affect this, I have a GeForce 6600 (non-GT). I'm not sure what the max resolution is for DoW, but I think that I have it set at the max available through the video setup utility, though I know you can alter that via the "screenheight" and "screenwidth" settings in the local.ini file. (Just be sure you don't mix them up! ;) )
