Vercetti Thug Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Not sure what it is. I don't have this problem in GTA IV(Version 1.0.0.4) anymore, but I do have this problem in EFLC.(separate install) It's like the water is a big shiny mirror that moves.

mkey82 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 From what I have seen about this issue, probably only a patch will fix this. At least for most. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/447305-problem-with-water-quality/#findComment-1059900233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownmember Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 sorry to sound like a noob but how is the water ment to look? because as far as i can tell from the pic with the boat and heli, the water looks fine. is it because it's missing the waves? i never really paid much attention to the water quality level of my game and now i wonder if mine is how it's ment to be. thanks Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/447305-problem-with-water-quality/#findComment-1059902769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Taboga Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have got exactly the same problem. This seems to occur with all newer ATI cards. I am afraid there is nothing we can do about it until ATI or Rockstar offer a solution for this Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/447305-problem-with-water-quality/#findComment-1059910763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw1st Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I'm having this same exact problem on Windows 7 64 Bit with an ATI 5850. Running latest patch and latest drivers. Also suffering from the texture pop-ins. Was there ever a solution offered for these issues?

AvEngErZx Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) I have New Sapphire Radeon 5870 Vapor-XAnd i have problem with water quality like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xb2rrrFuEE No matter what settings , but when i set lower in-game and then to High quality and very high water quality looks fine for some seconds then back to this ugly quality -.- Same with GTA IV version 1.0.0.4 Same bro I have Sapphire Radeon HD5870 Stock 1GB DDR5 850M The water just gets lesser waves and clear reflections After that, i get 5 FPS Boost. Each time I change the resolution in the Options setting, the waves mysteriously came back. But after awhile it slowly disappears By Right it should be like this Both Are High Quality water [Left=Highest/Right=Normal] Extreme Water Quality Edited June 17, 2010 by AvEngErZx Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/447305-problem-with-water-quality/#findComment-1059981628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvEngErZx Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 From what I have known This is my experiment 1st, to get high quality water. Change ur resolution in the options [between 60HZ and 75HZ] you will get high water quality 2nd, 1 minutes later, Lesser waves 3rd, 2 minutes later, Even lesser waves, better reflections but worse water quality Test #2 Helicopter above sea again set resolution 30 secs later... 1 minute later.... Test #3 Switch Water Quality & Reflection Resolution to "VERY HIGH" 30 sec later... [no change same low quality shown] Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/447305-problem-with-water-quality/#findComment-1059981709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vatsa1708 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have the same problem too, when near the water i lag which makes it diffcult to play.

Lagging near water means you havent patched the game to 1.0.7.0 version (or EFLC to 1.1.2.0), 1.0.6.0 has a bug that makes slowdowns near water edges, I would want to know what causes that bug, im guessing the new shadows.
