a Game setting option that makes a difference!!

Ziroc · 06-20-2002, 08:12 AM

If you go to Game settings, and turn 'Hide second story tiles' to NEVER, it will make the game look and feel a LOT better--adds GREATLY to the atmosphere. Setting it to AUTO is pretty much as OFF, so try it out-- the City will feel MUCH more real.. walking through the allys and stuff.

Also, if you can't read the text well, change your screen resolution to 800x600--it STILL looks good, and the game was meant to be played in this resolution--all the cut-scenes and interface mesh well at 800x600.

About the text--If you have Anti-Aliasing ON, then it could blur the text, so try each setting. I set mine to 2x, and it looks fine. I also tried Quanti-whatever (I have the Geforce4 4600) and that looks good, but the text was still SLIGHTLY blurry.

Tell me what you think of the game when you turned on the 'Show Second story tiles". (Yeah, the camera does get hidden behind stuff sometimes, but it's nice to use sometimes) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Totally awesome in the City. I just killed a gaurd dog and found a new shop--with a smithy! May come in handy when I get some materials to MAKE a cool magical item!!

Oh yeah, I pumped mine to 1600x1200, and crap, I would need to be 1 inch from my screen to read the text!!

I am liking the 800x600 a LOT! It's easier on the eyes, and seems clearer. (I have a 19 inch Viewsonic)

Off to kill some escaped prison people!

Hmmmmm.

Well I am not telling but if you ask real nice I can tell you about the ironwood.
Ziroc I had to switch it back to auto when i was doing the prison thing. To many blocked cameras in part of it.
I tell you this really rocks.
