If you are running with the "Advanced Lighting" turned off....

August 5, 2010 10:58:48 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hi folks.

In Beta 4, we made some improvements to how Advanced Lighting worked, and fixed compatibilty issues with many video cards.

If you have been running the game with this option turned off because it wasn't working in previous betas, please try turning it back on and let us know if you still have any issues.

Thanks!

Advanced lighting is up and running for me. Still getting some slowdown from it, but no weird blurring anymore.

Works like a charm, it's just the loading/unloading of the engine for tactical combats that doesn't work right here.

Well, I'm currently thinking of just running with 'Cloth map only' mode because it's so much more convenient... Still, tactical combat uses the lighting I guess?

Advanced lighting works fine for me in Beta 4, except that it produces a look that is much too blurry for my tastes. And the advanced lighting slider doesn't seem to have any effect -- should it?

crafty35a, if the image is too blurry, please try deleting or renaming your prefs.ini file to restore it to default settings.

The file is at /my documents/my games/elemental/

I just tried, but it didn't seem to change much -- I think it's probably just a matter of taste. The slider is definitely not having any effect, though. Should it, at this point?
