Absolute highest video quality.

[Babygod22]

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this, but how do you play M2TW with the absolute highest video quality, like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnRKhDRrKgA

I set all my settings to highest but it doesn't even come as close to the quality of that video, so I think it must have something to do with editing your cfg.

[.:Zack Fair:.]

why not? I also see all like this

No idea about the video but there is a hdr mod available on this site

[Babygod22]

When I first download the vanilla game with my other computer, it has extreme high quality, but when I play with mods the quality is not as good.
But I have seen mod's battle video and it look just as good as vanilla, so I think because those player edit their perference.cfg

Have you tried shader 2, detail texture highest, bloom and reflection on?

Yes, I already mentioned that I set everything to highest level. It could not have been the computer's because my com is stronger than the last com.

What about your resolution? That's probably the biggest part.

[Babygod22]

Yes, highest battle resolution also, I already set everything to highest. But still it doesn't look as good as that video. I noticed that the video quality of vanilla is better than mods. But how come in some video about Stainless steel battle, I see that the video quality is as good as vanilla.

What kind of graphics card do you have?
That might be the issue, because in general,
SS's units are more work for it, and thus, may not
look as good on an older card.

I play at better quality than the video you posted.

Great -_-
but how do you play with such a high quality? did you edit your perference.cfg file at all?

I've never even touched the preference.cfg file and from what I recall, mine does look as good or better than the video.

What is your monitor's native resolution? If you're trying to max out the resolution higher that is different than the native resolution, you might have problems. For instance, mine is a 1280x1024. I don't set games outside that res.

My settings:
Shader Version 2
Anti-Aliasing x6
Texture Filtering x16
V-sync on

Otherwise everything set to high. Shadow Quality is set to Low, but I believe I was having some issues that I dropped that.

Set everything to max and u will get whatever ur hardware is capable of.
Manual editing of .cfg plays no role.

Glad to help and never call ur own PC crappy coz they bring pleasure to their masters.
A line like "my baby is getting old" or something is more suited.

Right before you tear out its parts to replace them with new ones.

I do believe I'll have to do that if I'm to conquer feudal Japan. Luckily, I have a year or two.

If you manually edit the preference file, you can set it so that the game will never use 2d sprites for any units on screen. This means that you no longer have to witness sliding sprites but it does result in pretty hefty performance hit even on fairly modern gaming pc.

CA locked out "highest" as option for graphic setting, and manually editing preference file will let you get around that to see just how good this game could look.

Really? what line do you add or delete in the perference file to enable that?

is it:
sprite_buffers_per_node = 4

or any of this:
ground_buffers_per_node = 4
ground_cover_buffers_per_node = 4
model_buffers_per_node = 4
no_background_fmv = 0

Also can anyone tell me how to enable anti-alising?

As i told u earlier all the options are in the game itself u are simply wasting ur time and the sprite disable thing said above will make ur PC gasp for air.

These are the all the options and i have set everything on max possible:-
