    How do I turn off fake transparency (dithering) in Guild Wars 2 ?

    Hi guys, I noticed this in Guild Wars 2 running on a GeForce GTX 670 ("Windforce"), driver 314.22 (probably not the most up-to-date, but I suspect this is not related). Odd thing is that on the character selection screen, there is no dithering in the character's hair, so it would seem that...

    Drakensang River of Time

    Oh I see it looks like Gamersgate also has the bundle. I never tried that service. Is it like Steam and you download the software? Do I have to run some kind of client prior to the games, or is it just some kind of activation? Thanks.

    Drakensang River of Time

    Thanks. Yes I played RoT till I got to an island with the Elves, and I remember vaguely a bridge where a bunch of orcs or giants or whatnot came down and I couldn't get past that. Then I think I lost interest due to the amount of travelling required to top up my characters. There is a photo of...

    Drakensang River of Time

    Hi everyone I never finished Drakensang nor it's successor "River of Time". Shame as it was a unique RPG with a beautiful art style (imho). Loading times might be less of a bother now on SSD. I'm tempted to buy Drakensang the Complete Saga: Dark Eye + River Of Time + Phileassons Secret on...

    Smoothing filters aka. Why do YouTube gameplay vids look better than the real game?

    You know, that's a REALLY good example. You nailed it. See, this is presumably real time game footage. The game looks fabulous. However if/when I will play it at 2560 here, sure it will look gorgeous and so sharp and crisp, and it will look ANYTHING BUT that video. The video is actually more...

    Smoothing filters aka. Why do YouTube gameplay vids look better than the real game?

    Yeah sorry I didn't mean to comment on the downscaling trick that Knil linked to, but the downscaling to the YouTube video resolution that others mentionnd. So I tried running Path of Exile as 1280x720, with 4xAA. Indeed it looks close to the YouTube video but one difference I noticed is the...

    Smoothing filters aka. Why do YouTube gameplay vids look better than the real game?

    Hmm I'm a bit confused by the distinction between downscaling and antialiasing/MSAA. Anti aliasing, as far as I can see never goes further than a single pixel, unless you count "bloom" as a form of "de aliasing". As for the post process AA it's the same anyway. I see so you mean it's scaled...

    Smoothing filters aka. Why do YouTube gameplay vids look better than the real game?

    Ok this may sound like a really silly thing but... Has anyone noticed how sometimes the YouTube gameplay videos just look better and nicer than the actual game on the very same computer? Despite the original game running on my monitor at 2560x1440 and even 60 FPS (say, Path of Exile)...

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    I tried quicksave on an older save and it worked. On a save that was cleaned off Wet and Cold, it crashed. Therefore it must not have cleaned properly... but the thing is... it is crashing because of its own "older self" so to speak. Without the mod, I can quicksave just fine from that same...

    He later added the Rain Hoods for NPCs, and then also enabled them for Followers. So the last version has quite substantial changes.

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    Yep, I also tried loading from a clean save. Although I did try a previous version of Cold and Wet, a week before or so, and cleaned it then as he instructed, from which I continued playing. So who knows maybe it''s conflicting with its earlier self. Actually the previous version also caused me...

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    I haven't been lucky with Wet and Cold :( Shame because the effect is really nice. Kept getting CTDs now and then with Quicksave. Couldn't find a solution as all my mods so far don't cause problems. Author said to clean save, but of what? Thing is, when I deactivate it, and load my savegame...

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    That's unrelated though. Or are you saying that you can get conflicting mods working fine when you have them all at the start of the game, but not when you install them progressively? If mods have incompatibilities between them I don't think it makes any difference whether you get them all at...

    Honestly just enjoy the game as you go. This will tell you exactly what mods you want. Plants are ugly, go get Vurts Flora Overhaul. Next day you notice the follower is dumb, go get AFT. Next day you are disappiinted with the horses, go get Convenient Horses, etc. Treat yourself to a nice mod...
