Textures and unit details problem gone.

[MaxMazi]

It seems that DX11 is bugged, at least for mid-range and low-spec computers. I edited my preferences script file with some settings, and after many trial and errors i came to a result that i am satisfied. First of all you need to disable DX11, then trick the game that you have a 2GB video card (of course this if you have from 1GB to minus) and then make the changes i will write next (make a backup of your file first):

You can copy paste all paragraph in your file as it's taken as it is in order. Performance wise it seems to actually have better framerates and is more fluent.
My specs are: Core2Duo E8400, GTX 460 1GB, so if you have like me it will not hurt to try, but i think this will work with many setups.

With these settings i obtain very nice graphic quality and i can prove with my first screens that i took before i messed up with the settings:

Are those 6 pictures photo edited? How you can get colorful to game?

[Ashu-Siralis]

Nice! Super thanks!

[AlMustansir]

Nice filters bro ! Troll somewhere else.

But you just turned off shadows alltogether.
Of course it runs better.

Wow. Nice... what a performance boost. Thanks for the hint

How can I disable DX11 as said in the first post?

It's done when you paste in the changes to the preferences. Each game calls on the directx of its choice. The engine is only switched on by your particular game.

No thanks I wont disable DX11 to make this piece of crap engine work properly.

[Waro245]

But without DX11 it should also be possible to run the game with MSAA/SGSSAA from Nvidia Inspector or other tools, shouldn't it?

[wulfgar610]

Thanks, that improved things a lot!

[Waro245]

Thank you, did someone try to get MSAA running after switching from DX11 to DX9?

[wulfgar610]

Anti Aliasing is on.
