Try looking at edges like the edge of the white car or the lines painted onto the ground.

Yeah.. I can see it..

It is an improvement, Shame I don't have a Nvidia graphics card

[Forensics]

Yeah I see, a bit.

Don't worry I'll be making a resolution fix for both users.

[Hoppah]

Like I said it's a slight difference.
It will be more noticeable on higher resolutions which I will be making a tutorial for soon.

I don't see a difference either, but that might be caused by the jpg compression. Unfortunately, there is some distortion in your picture. If you used Fraps to take the screens, make sure to choose .png or .bmp for the screenshots. They have less distortion and that is better for a comparision like this.

Thank you Hoppah I'll fix that in a little bit.

Edit: I'm having trouble uploading PNG or BMP files.

I decided to show you what the resolution tutorial will end up doing.

The default maximum resolution is 1280 by 1024. The below image.

Now you will be able to have any resolution. My monitor size is 1920 by 1200 so I made mine that size. The below image.

I'll be posting a little tutorial a bit later on how to do this with pics like the first two tutorials.

Edit: Resolution tweak is up.

[Ami89E1234]

Any idea as to which line? I can't find it...i dont think its in there...i need to look around a bit more

Or you can go to the first post and look under Graphics Tweak

[Xplorer4x4]

I tried disable the SetPhysx and it worked! But I didn't get much result from the other stuff. I have a question. My game runs perfect when playing normally. But when I record the game the frame rate drops by 10-20 FPS. Any ways to prevent that from happening? I messed around a little in the Nvidia control panel, but I'm not sure what I'm doing

This is likley your CPUs fault. Its not powerful enough.

I don't see a difference either, but that might be caused by the jpg compression. Unfortunately, there is some distortion in your picture. If you used Fraps to take the screens, make sure to choose .png or .bmp for the screenshots. They have less distortion and that is better for a comparision like this.

This is indeed one time where png works better, otherwise its just annoying.


Oh and Notepad 2 might be a usefull thing to mention. This is notepad for coders and when you open the cfg file it wont be all jumbled up.

[Gamage]

Although his CPU is not powerful enough. If he is using something like fraps he may want to change to a different program to increase performance but unfortunately it will reduce quality.

Looks fine in regular Notepad.

Most people already knew about changing the resolution in the .cfg file anyway, I was just telling him what to edit, like he asked.

[mutu]

What do you use to record?

I use FRAPS.

[Gamage]

I use FRAPS.

I suggest you use a program that impacts less on your computers performance.

Any suggestions?

[Gamage]

I believe Xfire has a built in screen capture that sacrifices a bit of quality for performance. There probably also are many more like Hypercam.

[usmc123]

I suggest you use a program that impacts less on your computers performance.

If he is playing EM4 then I doubt FRAPS will take a serious hit on his performance.
