Water

Postby Crussell » Mon Aug 20, 2007 11:49 am

It may just be my computer but I don't get Reflective or moving water  :'(
I tried waterzone and nothing changed, I had a previous Water texture replacement and I didn't back up original files  ::)
So, help please?  :)

You'll need to post some more details about your system, particularly the video card as not all video cards support reflections etc. Trust me, I have a bad card.

Best.

Click Start/Run. Type dxdiag in the box. Click OK. The Display tab will give details of your video card.

Edit: Oops. Foz beat me to it. :D

That's why....the Geforce2 gpu is only DX8.1 compliant, and being that it's in a Vaio, I'm not sure if you can upgrade it. :'( However, that card should still be a decent performer as far as framerates go.

Wait, I should have asked this earlier but it just dawned on me.....we are talking about a Vaio laptop right.( If memory serves Sony made a few desktop pc's that carried the Vaio name too.) If it's a desktop, and don't hold me to this, then I think you might be able to upgrade when your funds will allow for it.
