Hello my friends!

Recently I had to change my hard drive to a new one and I noticed that water was black. Before with an old HD water was great. I have an NVidia GForce GTX 1650 graphic card and I tried to change the settings in conf.ini to water=4 or HardwareShaders=1 and water was still black. After a long time I've tried everything with settings and water is flat with my current settings:

Please help me to set it properly 

[Dimlee]

I have experienced similar problems in the past, probably, more than once. The graphic card driver update (or reinstall) helped me.

... if you are currently using OpenGL (instead of DirectX), your settings are wrong, as you should have :

[Render_OpenGL]

***************************
HardwareShaders=0  <== try 1

***************************

Water=1  <== try 4

[Lucass]

... if you are currently using OpenGL (instead of DirectX), your settings are wrong, as you should have :

[Render_OpenGL]

***************************
HardwareShaders=0  <== try 1

***************************

Water=1  <== try 4

I know, but I wrote that if I'll set HardwareShaders=0 then water is black with OpenGL.

[Frankiek]

try these settings

exFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

Aarrghhh! Again...When I set it to 1 then water is BLACK and when set to 0 then is FLAT

[Frankiek]

to avoid the flat water you need to set water=3 or better Water=4

[Lucass]

try these settings

exFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=3
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=3
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=4
Effects=1
ForceShaders1x=0
PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.0625
PolygonOffsetUnits=-1.0

Unfortunately.....I doesn't help....

[Frankiek]

there must be something wrong in your setup, have you tried to update your Nvidia drivers?

[Lucass]

I have already Nvidia udated and when I set my graphic card in NVidia control panel and then set HardwareShaders to 1, water again was beautiful. So the problem has been solved.
