Ultra texture quality bug?

Hello there, i am having this issue that texture quality settings to ultra does show up in really low res textures.
High and medium quality setting are about the same as low too.
Now this is strange cause somethimes the enemy units show better quality textures

I did try and edit the preferences script file manualy and setting it to read only and lowering other settings but it did not help.

Is there a way force ultra texture quality other then in the preference file? My vid card has 512mb RAM so i think it should be enough.

Help! I need my crispy soldiers back!

Ultra setting start above 512mb. The ones with the 874mb and 1gig cards are the ones that really get the benefit. Even if you force the settings, the game probably has a breaking point where if it hits a wall in memory it will step back.

I ran ETW on Ultra and my card handled it just fine, no slow down or anything on a nVidia GTX260. Now with NTW I have this low res texture issue. I have a picture posten page 9 or ten on the NTW bugs thread. Any ideas? Is this happening to cards other than nVidia?

You are not alone about this. www.totalwarforums.com has more than a few threads babout it, too. How many have been deleted I don't know but I read them all.

Hasd anybody unpacked it to find IF there are actually ultra uniform textures?

I have 8800GTS NVidia card with 640MB video memory.Despite that I had all settings on ultra,the units still didn't loke like that.What I did was that I increased available gfx memory in preferences.I increased it to 1GB and it works.Now everything is working on ultra as it should.

Just find gfx_video_memory 0; in preferences and change 0 to 1073741824.

And please report if you managed to get better ingame gfx.

Unfortunately it did not work, i tried a custom battle with only three units on each side. i shall try to different settings.
note that i also have gfx_texture_quality set to 3.

Thanks for answering.
Yes, i had experienced ultra uniform textures a couple a times while tweaking graphical options, but after starting the game the next day they disappeared.

Where do I find this?

My nvidia control panel tells me that my GTX260 has 896mb of 'dedicated video memory," so what should I change zero to?

Also, I was able to get my units to look better by lowering every other setting to low, but they still don't look as good as ETW units on ultra. Also, that is not a fix, as I have said somewhere else.

Could this really be a performance issue? I run an i7 920 with 4gb of ram and the gtx 260, and I feel like I should be able to run NTW on ultra... am I wrong?

no your not wrong expecting to run things on ultra. You could see the troubleshoot thread for changing the file in the script folder (the one you're trying to) its in the graphical part, step by step

Look oby is a GOD he fixed this for me THANK you oby only person that has ACTUALLY said something that helps man THANK YOU not just saying oh well bleh ur cards memory fails so u cant change anything.

Clear your fx_cache and restarting your pc may also fix the problem...
I also face the same problem some times with an nvidia 295gtx (1792MB)
