Water graphics problem

[Pieter Boelen]

Try opening PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h and setting REALISTIC_WAVES to 0. See if that does any good at all.
If not, try to start a new game. If it still doesn't work, at least we'll know that isn't the problem.

We now know that that is not the problem. I set realistic waves to 0 and started the game. Hit F11. No joy. Started a new game and when we got to the dock the water looked the same as always.

Pieter Boelen -

I've just disabled realistic waves and things are looking much better! The calmer waves really do a lot to reduce to adverse graphics I have been seeing with my game. The fundamental problems still exist as with others here on the thread, but I really feel that this fix you mentioned goes quite a long way for me.

Thank-you very much!

Cool Nordo!

I just came back to say that after playing some more with realistic water off it does make a difference. The umm, local water is smoother and that makes for a smoother transition to the far water. The dark section and the "oil slick" are still there though. Methinks there is also improved fps.

It's something at least; not at all sure where the rest of the problems come from.
