Flickering,and black "stripy" shadows/shaders

I think that's what the blur effect is for when you press P. The console had that effect enabled permanently, it blurred out the rough edges and made the shadows a lot less grainy. Though the shadows on your pictures seem a lot more messed up... try the blur effect. I hate it too as it basically blurs out the whole game and its textures, but it's there for the simple reason of making the game seem less rough than it already is.

 

If you're shaking your head while reading this because you've already tried what I said, just keep hoping for Rockstar to fix it.

unfortunately its the blurred version. thx for the help though.

its not THAT much of a problem when im not flying but still can be annoying sometimes

they will fix it eventually...i guess.. icon14.gif

its not really ATI's fault. it just happens that our cards are configured differently. hence its also happening with SOME Nvidia though there configuration is mostly different thus it dosent happen AS OFTEN. Rockstar was SUPPOST to create a direct x file that would compensate how the images are rendering. at the moment its like looking at something from an angle. and the images are divided up into different parts. those parts are refusing to render in a diagonal shape. Thus they "fight" as to who will be over the top of each other creating this UGLY effect known as z-fighting. This is a tell tale sign thats they really did a pathetic half job of porting because it seems they didnot compensate for this ONE BIT. and really to do it its easy as 1,2,3 but if we were to try and do it ourselves. thats going to make things alot harder. trying to script a whole direct x file that works 100% with the game. Just get your thumbs out your asses rockstar and make a patch for this already I'm sure it wouldn't take you that bloody long.

Same problem, Rockstar Toronto, could you please acknowledge this threads existance? Just a few words might be all it takes to win a little bit of trust back from your disheartened followers. Thanks

I was wondering, does someone with the z-fighting problem also has the issue that the mouse pointer moves very slow in the menu and the video editor?

Rockstar Toronto, I noticed you posted in a "flash 9" thread not too long ago, an issue with a solution involved. But you continue to ignore us ati users with valid quesiotns??? Could you PRETTY PLEASE with a SUGAR COATED NIKO on top, put in some comment about these issues in this thread?

 

I'm also unable to see dynamic shadows at all, check out the screenies in this thread http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=384375&st=20 scroll down halfway and check the pics taken by swsuk. Or those gorgeous pics w-i-d-e screen pics from Paddy the Wak further down the page, notice the shadows being cast from headlights? Can any ATI users see these shadows? I cant see them at all, no matter what settings I try.

 

Please Rockstar T, please *curls up into fetal position*

Wow..i havent noticed the headlight lights...street lamps do give out lights tho

So your saying that you are not seeing shadows created by headlights either?

 

Can any ATI users see these shadows?? Check this thread to see what I mean, http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=384375&st=20

 

Once you've seen how they are supposed to work, it drives you nuts in game not seeing them. I need a new hobby other than waiting for patches, I dont know how and when that hobby started, but I've been doing this for a couple of years now...... What kind of programmers are uni's pumping out these days?? Actually thats unfair, this falls upon the whipping head honcho's shoulders, which is not just a R* problem, its becoming too much disturbingly common....

 

Still no reply Rockstar Toronto on ati issues?

I just want to say how impressed I am with Rockstar Toronto, we've been asking for god knows how long about an official answer about this with not a single word, yet he has time to watch friggen gta4 videos posted by other members (not coldkillas fault obviously) and make comments about it!!!????!!???!?!? http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=384717&hl=

 

There's been some other advice given..., but when I read that post, I really felt like R* has been putting from the rough into my date.

 

I've spent $200 Au on GTA4 (ps3/pc), just a hint of support is not much too ask, or should we be posting Cool Awesome Fun Much Boom gta4 videos instead to get noticed.

 

Shame shame shame.
