Archive Thread of Screenshots of Ridunkulous Quality and Size [2007-2015]

Yes took some while playing in the cave level and on the beginning of the follwoing level. Inever stop getting blown away by the amount of post-processing and particles effects being pulled at the same time at above 30fps. [strike]It's almost breathtaking[/strike] it IS breathtaking and shocking especially considering the use of volume, soft particles and HDr lit particles..... mamalousky!

The screenshot with what looks like tearing... it's not vsync tearing but an ingame effect when the nanosuit visors fail garbling the image up (game post-process effect)!

 

[Neb]

these shots dont even registers as medium particle/post-process moments vs average scenes in the game!

:drums: :gitarr: :smoothie:

Nice find homerdog. Though foliage "jaggyness" I have not seen in the way of being jaggy. Even upclose teh edges looks good with form. But it looks way to thin unless (like I do) play it with edgeaa set to 2. That makes the foliage thicker and IMO nicer looking.

With TSAA the foliage looks full but less "noisy" than it does with edgeaa at 2. It really looks a whole lot better; I would love to post some screenies but imageshack doesn't like me for some reason . You also get the advantage of having MSAA on all the non-foliage stuff. There are some glitches with distant vegetation LODs which could probably be taken care of with some cvars tweaking.

Turn vsync on!!!

*rips off my hair*

It's on! it's just the post-process effect when getting hit and the visor failing!

Ah. I've always wondered why I still get tearing occasionally. Gives me more motivation to not get shot

Nebby i want your config file

And are those shots with a certain custom particle config??

Sure I'll put them up when I wake up (!). The resuce level had a fast TOD I made in like 5 mins shock. And for Crysis, yes it's blessed by my particle mod and though original looks close i like mine more and I am still above 30fps!

I also have as part of my config the e_particles_lod set to 2.

Crysis... Noticed I was getting 20/30fps indicating triple buffering was off which was strange since I had it in the ini file. Noticed then that the game now started up in DX10/64bit mode...huh?

Might be that I just updated my DirectX with novemeber release.

Forced it back into DX9, triple buffering went on and framerate 25-40fps. 25fps on the wide view screenshot becouse DAMN it was showing 8million+ polygons per frame!

I think I have some global LOD turned off becouse that is a massive amount of poygons to render on each frame. Seems i messed something up in my ini yesterday when having fun fun time!

This downloaded custom map seemed to have some strange tree errors in some parts (indicated by editor to) but tweaked teh TOD a bit and this will go into my wallpapper folder. 1280'1024 native and edge aa set to 2 and it sure is hard to spot jaggies, same in motion to.

Hey man I like the colors there. It's not too washed out/brown yet it is very dynamic. Can you tell me what visual tweaks you've used? It looks oddly close to the trailer from 2007's color scheme. Thanks!

I modified the TOD (Time Of Day) of the custom level + my custom config. It's really just to play with the settings and Crytek could have had this for any level since it has no perfomance impact.
