Low quality textures

**andyg12** · February 17, 2012, 10:02 AM

I recently installed MTW2 again to try this mod, but I'm having some trouble with the textures of all the units being low quality regardless of having all my settings to max. I've only installed the game and directly installed the latest SS with patch, is this a common issue does anyone know? I'd just really not spend another 3 hours trying to download this all again on steam and google isn't coming back with anything useful..

in the default config file in the ss6.3 folder change to this:

unit_detail=highest

save and make sure you tick read only after the change.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I tried that, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've noticed from messing with the graphics settings on the battle map that it appears to stop changing things at medium. It also renders the grass as medium.

Tried to reinstall SS didn't fix it, went back to vanilla seems to be working normal again. Oh well, looks like a good mod though.

ok then: three questions:

1) you changed in the ss config right?
2) there no corresponding lines in the medieval prefences config right? (for possible overwrite/conflict).
3) before you changed it in game or out, you turned off read only on the cfg file, changed the values, then ticked read only. (on default.cfg in ss6.3 folder)
ok 4 questions:
4) you aren't running any software (read video card stuff) that would overwrite graphics files on games?
and whats your system specs?

--------
if the details are set to grass distance=9000 and unit detail=highest, they should be at highest (both) in the battle map, so if there not theres something not getting overwritten correctly on your computer. If these don't work i can post you a default ss6.4 config on here to replace yours and see if that works.
