Terrain Textures Problems [AF Misconfigured]

[zeyuri]

Hi

 

I'm having trouble with the terrain textures. In a relatively close distance they look very ugly to me, but when I get near them look good again. Below is a link to two images, the first contains a tag of the problem.

 

 

 

I set all my settings in the launcher official to ultra, but as I use the mod organizer, I think they are not being read, but I do not know what settings to change in the ini editor in mod organizer.

 

Here are the the code of my INIS.

i'm using google tradutor, so sorry for the bad english.

 

thanks guys

[TechAngel85]

 

Thanks for comparisons!

 

Clearly for AF doesn't matter what you use, although, ENB seems to cost slightly more FPS. And both ENB + Nvidia do slightly better job in the far distance (negligible)

 

AA though, would love to see a comparison there as well, between  launcher, driver (MSAA, SSAA), SMAA, FXAA and ENB, and possible combinations thereof. I don't like the ENB AA in the images you provided. Th AA works, but blurs the image, especially on foliage, makes it look painted.....

 

I understand it is going to be a lot of testing, might do that myself some time.

 

S

You could do the testing for non-ENB users but it's pointless for ENB users because there is no hardware AA after v.119. So for ENB users, you either use the ENB AA or none at all. :(

SMAA still works I believe.

True. FXAA and SMAA injectors still work...forgot about that.

 

EDIT: We've hijacked the poor guys thread but he hasn't reported back if any of our suggestions have worked or not....so I'm assuming they did.

Haha, yes. Perhaps the title should be changed? or else the thread merged with the ENB one?.

 

I don't like the fact that there is either ENB AA or no AA (Apart from the injectors). ENB seems to blur the foliage, a bit counter effective really, as foliage is one of those things that can be most improved by AA. I'll do a comparison at some point... But first need to finish my PhD report.

 

I have never liked ENB, huge performance impact and often way to colorful. Although I do appreciate some of the fixes on shadowing and the SSAO. SkyRealism vanilla was a good option for that, perhaps I should use that one with ENB 0.119.

 

Thus far I have always used Immersive Environment, although old and FXAA based it still is the best, and I have tried many things, luckily my wife feels the same way. We can not play without it. I will try RCRN in the future, as that seems to have a similar effect. Other than that, Immersive environment works with nearly everything, including RLwC and CoT and of course, any ENB.

[zeyuri]

thanks everyone, that problem are solved! it was AF misconfigured.

 

But, i've another, can you guys help me? I tried several mods like Climates of Tamriel, RCRN, RCRN Plus, RLwC, they all cause a very annoying problem: when I load the game my fps are around 50, but as soon as I go into a house, for example, or any other place that requires load screen and is inside when I go back to the outside, my fps drop to 10-15! I tested all these mods, I tried to sleep outdoors, everything and nothing! When I remove any of these mods, everything is normal, but with lighting that does not satisfy me.

 

sorry agains, for the bad english, thanks :D

I think the tittle of thread must be change for AF misconfigured or anything like that.

[stoppingby4now]

I updated the thread title.

[TechAngel85]

I updated the thread title.

This would be a good thing to do for all troubleshooting threads. Eventually these threads can be added into a troubleshooting guide on the wiki. Just another thing for a forum moderator to do once the mods are picked and set up.

I totally agree.

Anisotropic filtering is something different than AA. You should use either ENB or Nvidia driver to force 16x AF. The performance cost is minimal for both.

Use only one AF source. Either from the Launcher, the ENB, or the NVIDIA settings. Choose one and turn the others off. The performance and quality is the same for all versions.

 

What happens if you use 16x AF from different sources at the same time (Launcher, Nvidia settings, Nvidia Insteactor)?

To be honest, I haven't tested it. But any guide I've ever read has said the same. "If you use driver AF, then turn off the Launcher AF. Blah blah blah". I assume that it could cause one or all of these things:

• Double/triple processing of textures which would cause unnecessary performance loss
• Unknown errors in texture processing (like the result in the OP)
• Grainy looking textures from over-processing
• Cancellation of the AF effects
• Etc etc...
