Siege Problem

**Filip_bre** · November 10, 2006, 08:52 AM

Not sure if theres already a topic about this... The siege weapons are not visible when looking from close distance, only from very away..? anything to do about it or simply wait for them to release an anti bug ?

I get the same problem mate.

Uk version, straight out of the box.

Graphics settings: high for everything bar grass and buildings, no anti alaising, large unit sizes.

Playing as spain sieging El cid's rebel city/castle.

I cant see the siege weapons but they are there cos the men follow orders and will blimb invisible ladders and siege towers and operate battering rams...

Gonna tweak about with the setting ans report back.

Other than that the game is SWEET.

Did you try setting shaders to version 1?

I think i found a solution by accident.

I went back into settings and changes everything to max bar Anti alaising.

Decided to go germans this time round, just sieged a rebel city and all siege weapons showed up as normal.

SWEET x2

PS. game still runs fine at max.

I actually get that problem too on my ATI card, running on relatively high settings also. Its not always there, it seems to depend on the size of the army or whatever for me, but theyre always visible form a distance.

I got a ATI card and I have no such trouble and I have no AA on.

Strange problem, i assumed it was some kind of crazy LOD model not appearing but who knows. Hasnt ruined the game for me exactly but i do like watching the animations on the siege equipment, does kind of ruin things when your just watching some guys mime it out
