No Reflections?


 

Posted

Just to note, I am not in I17 testing or Going Rogue Beta.

For a while now I have been wondering why my friends with Water quality set to high were seeing reflections when I was not. Their computers have worse hardware than mine and even lower graphics settings. My graphics settings are all at their maximum levels and still I see no reflections in the water. The graphics card I'm using is an Nvidia Evga 2gb GTX 285. I am using the 196.21 driver.

There are no true reflections in the water at the moment except on the I17 testing. So if you're not in it you won't see it.

your friends probably have ATi cards. The reflection(s) in the water is due to a graphics error in the current graphics engine.

Thanks for the info, was worried there was a problem with my card.

The problem is with their cards, and it looks pretty damn ugly so you're not missing out. I have an ATI card myself and I play with water effects turned off for this reason.
