Graphic Issue

[Vanttezzle]

No matter what i set in options my game looks far worse than in the videos or screenshots..(mainly the Shadows&AA not working)
CPU: i5-3210M
8GB RAM
GPU: GTX680M 4GB VRAM(yes, the game is set to use my nvidia GPU)

AA sucks in this game, even FXAA is better... not sure about shadows.
Overall SimCity 2013 is way better in graphical department.

 

[Vanttezzle]

Well. AA i can live without but my game looks far worse than in the videos or screenshots even on max settings..

Post a screenshot? Mine looks, well, pretty average for 2015.

yeah a bit different even from my screenshot...

Maybe your GTX680M is not powerful enough so game disabled some settings? Try to bump graphic settings in the game, maybe they are on low!

 

[Vanttezzle]

Everything is set on maximum...

yeah, that's really looks like "full details" and anti aliasing :blink:

You have shadows though..

 

[WizoneDE]

yeah, but that's not the antialiasing they are showing all the time in there screens

And than "my full detailed with antialiasing "



looks like the game is running in another resolution than showing in options. so the game is scaling from 1024 to 1920 ...

Notice: Pajopath was my account, because the paradox forum didn't activated my "normal" account till today... never got the activation mail for this account till about two hours ago

Something is definitely up here, I have terrible aliasing as well with graphics settings maxed out.

 

[Vanttezzle]

So..launching the game with "-force-d3d9" parameter seems to fix the shadows in my case.

Have the same things to report here, GF670 on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04.2 but with latest driver. Anti aliasing is non existent for me basically, no matter what I try to force or set. Would love to see this addressed. Seems weird to me though, AA is a function of the graphics card no?

Hey guys, add me to the list. In on my MacBook pro. All my setting are on high with tilt turned down. My macbook is top of the line as well. I'm going to try it in my pc hopefully this weekend if I have time and compare.

I wonder it's the retina and resolution combo. Idk.

You positive that you ain't only using the 3210M's integrated graphic? Most laptops needs to be told to use the dedicated graphic card.
