DoW II Ultra/Anti Aliasing Disabled

Blackstar_solar · 6 May 2009 at 20:42

Just got DoW II after loving the demo but noticed that I can't enable Ultra texture quality or Anti Aliasing and I can't find any info about why this might be.

Running E8400 @ 3.6GHz with 2GB DDR 1033 and X1950 Pro (with cooling problem solved :cool:

)

I couldn't do this in the demo but I assumed this was because it was a demo.

Any thoughts?

It may be a DX9/10 thing, are you on XP or Vista/Win7?

I suspect this is due to your weak graphics card; it probably detects this although there might be a manual override via .ini or similar. If your card only has 256MB VRAM then it's not really surprising that Ultra texture quality is disabled.

Running XP.

Card has 512mb :S I wish they wouldn't do things like this. If I want to run at slightly slower framers for a better quality ui I should be able to!

Grrrr

Get a proper Gfx card

I had to go into the config file to enable vsync as it wasn't an option ingame, so it might be able to overide it in there.

The file is at C:\Users\*name*\documents\my games\dawn of war 2\settings and it's configuration.lua
