    Default The grass when zoomed out

    I downloaded the update and the game is looking great so far. Using High settings with x2 AA, high DOF 5 shader and all of the boxes checked in. When zoomed in, everything looks great, but when zoomed out, the ground doesn't look very appealing. I don't remember having this problem with NTW or ETW, I think. The ground just doesn't look appealing at all and it kind of ruins for me. I know you really wouldn't be able to see grass when zoomed out far away, but I feel like something could be done to make it look a little bit better.

    Am I the only one bothered by the ground when zoomed out?

    When you zoom out there is less detail. When you zoom in there is more detail. Has to do with sprites and 3D textures.

    So if you know that you wouldn`t see grass if really far away what do you actually expect to see instead?

    That`s like saying the sky is too blue and boring from a far distance, I know it really is like that, but something could be done to make it look better?

    No nothing could be done because that`s how it is in reality.

    A plea to CA: Please give us NON-STEAM OPTIONS such as with GOG.COM`s Alan Wake and Witcher 2, etc. Even allow a system such that Mount and Blade Uses. Many of us will pay extra for a Steam-free version of RTW2.
    The use of STEAM-ONLY by CA is ethically wrong because:
    1. It does not need to be forced. It could be optional as other games have proven.
    2. It discriminates between internet users and non-users or those who simply do not want it.
    3. The `advantages` are only advantages in a very small and superficial manner. They do not counter the disadvantages.
    4. It suits the company way more than the user. We are simply told it`s better for us
    Finally,I shall not give CA|SEGA my money for RTW2 while it forces Steam on me. They have given us no good reason why it must be so. Basically they don`t care.

    A Steam Option would benefit ALL. Don`t fight us, JOIN us.
    Games don`t need forced Steam

    No you're not, it looks especially silly given all the other graphical bells and whistles in the game. And you're quite right to -- the grass in ETW and NTW didn't look like a putting green when zoomed out the way that S2 does.

    That's because the previous games had detailed ground textures. Here, it's greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

    Perhaps if you move your head closer to the screen?

    Napoleon's ground looked better. I don't know why, exactly, but that's my impression...
