You see , the color of the sky is not brown because the time is about noon
it goes brow in the evenings

In the case of noon or other times before evenings you should have the clouds aztec shows in his screens which isn't the case of 8.1patch and one needs to know which mods are enabled and if working. The bright sun and environment with other mods is achievable with the 8.0 patch... but you have to give up siege improvements included with 8.1 patch.

Rome 2: total sad

I love this screenshot, but so unluckily this mod doesn't work on me. So realistic like watch from IRL helicopter.

[Shapur e Sassani]

really nice and realistic

[Mentaldevil]

Any ideas when the next version comes out?

[doktor1]

Almost finish.. Later today I will post settings...
Here is preview with campaign map in seasons, battlefield in rain, sea, desert....

[le_fred]

Seriously, those preview pictures of campaign map seasons are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

[Brips]

Like this mod in AIO mod
But you said to uncheck "unlimited video settings", if I do that, all my textures are very very ugly... Let it on. Without this option the game set some settings to low even if it's high in option menu.

[DramaBelli]

Hope seriously someone skilled will work this miracle-mod to make it working properly with patch 8.1 and CiG. I burn of desire to taking screens with this visual config

LE FRED, happy to see you again man

DOKTOR, Amazing pics! hope one day to be able to use aztec mod and your settings, they're so dark and fascinating

Hello, I've tried the new Aztec's file pack (I converted it in movie) and setted my GEM on truecolor + Doktor1 settings (gem general and brightness-gamma).

That's the result, please comment sggst, judge, teach.

Nice but I see that Aztec mod is not working you too, because clouds are in vanilla.

[DramaBelli]

thanks for your feedback, Noif, this is what I was arguing to understand. At now I enjoy the Doktor1's Gem settings, I really love them and they're not cpu heavy

[le_fred]

I have 2 issues:

1- Aztec mod doesn't work for me either, whatever trick i try, it seems it doesn't change anything (i do my test on Memphis map all the time).
2- Dokotr1 new settings are very very dark on my rig, even when i use only that gem settings (no other mods). Other sweetfx preset work very well..

I attach the gem / sweetfx settings, what's wrong with the files ??

[.Mitch.]

I suggest someone who has it working (doktor1) just zips up and uploads their files, please.

SweetFX folder
d3d9.dll
dxgi.dll
GEM_settings.txt
SweetFX_preset.txt
SweetFX_settings.txt
and whatever .packs of Aztecs you are using

Also a screenshot of your graphics settings would be useful.

Would only take 5 minutes then we can settle once and for all if it works for those saying it doesn't.

I installed GEM, applied Doktor1's settings, then installed this mod, and my screenshots look nothing like his.

Thus either there is something Doktor1 has forgotten, or I am making a mistake somewhere. Both would be solved for everyone by uploading your files.

Possibly Nvidia users have Nvidia Inspector tweaks on as well, as GEM mod recommends this.

I have Doktors settings and all working fine here
