How do i get it? i turn hardware shaders to 1, start the game, perfect is grayed out under landscape, and i go back to the conf.ini, and hardware shaders is set to 0

help and thanks

[Triad773]

Maybe try setting the Attributes to your conf.ini to "Read Only." (Right-click, Properties)

That way the system cannot over write your text edits.

Try and see that it works and of course run in OpenGL

Good luck

it might also help if you share your graphics card info with us.....

(sorry for double post)

i am running in openGL. i set hardwareshaders to 1, water to 4, i then set the conf to read only. i go to the hardware setup in game, and perfect is still grayed out.

[Triad773]

What resolution are you running?

Greater than 1024x768?

- Also (I made this mistake once) make sure that all your video cables are fully inserted and connected.

[SAS~Malone]

Redrum, i would've settled for GeForce 9500 GT.....
thanks anyway, the rest can't do any harm....

i am running in openGL. i set hardwareshaders to 1, water to 4, i then set the conf to read only. i go to the hardware setup in game, and perfect is still grayed out.

Other requirement is 32-bit colour depth:
e.g. 1024x768 32 Bit

As far as game setting are concerned, there are four requirements for Perfect Landscape mode:

1. Run game in OpenGL for Provider
2. Select a 32-bit colour depth for Video Mode
3. Turn ON Stencil Buffer
4. Select "Perfect" for Landscape Detail at ingame Video Preferences

The first three items can be selected on the "Driver" tab when you run IL2Setup.exe
Thereafter, when you run the game, you should be able to select Perfect for Landscape detail.

Alternatively, they can be made by directly editing the conf.ini, looking for these lines:

[window]
ColourBits=32
StencilBits=8

[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[Render_OpenGL]
HardwareShaders=1

When Perfect mode is working, you can also then edit the Water= line under the [Render_OpenGL] section, and choose a number from 1 to 4

I had a similar problem with my new rig. Go to NVidia control panel and check the "extension limit" parameter, it must be set to "off".

[Avala]

You can copy this to conf.ini file and try, it could maybe help. What version of Windows do you use?

i have everything set to the same as everybody has told me to. and i use Windows XP. i will try the extension limit to off thing tomorrow since it is too late right now.

[RedrumSalad]

ok, it worked, thanks
