Atomic bombs on a 19th century battlefield?!

[Huginmunin88]

Hello everyone,

since the last update for Fall of the Samurai has come out, I have had quite of a problem with the graphics. Here is the system I have:

i7-2600k @ 4GHz
HD-6990
16 GB Corsaire Vengeance @ 1666MHz

This problem was immediatley noticable after the last update, so I think it really has something to do with a graphical change from the Creative Assembly's side. If the HDR-Bloom graphic feature is active, a blinding white light appears (as if an atomic bomb has gone off) everytime that the canon balls hit the ground. Here is a video which I've made:



As you can see, as soon as I have deactivated the HRD-Bloom feature, there is no more problem. Here is exactly the same battle and the same canon shots, simply without HDR-Bloom:



Does anyone know what could cause this problem? Is there a patch for it or any other way of fixing this problem? Is there a way to report this bug to the Creative Assembly directly?

Can you please post that on the official TW forums as well:
Graphics bug section of forums.totalwar

Also post the DXDiag (run "DXDiag" form the Windows start menu) info with it.

It seems that HDR rendering is bugged since the FOTS release. Maybe it's related to that.
