Penumbra Collection Graphics Bugs - Cuyir - 02-24-2012 Hello y'all, i'm having the following graphical glitches in all the penumbra games (bought the Penumbra collection at Best Buy) alongside annoying FPS (will also enclose the log): Screenshot with bloom and shaders on high (yes, that's a picture, if you look real closely you can see the grainy bits) Bloom off, shaders high with the flashlight on Bloom off, shaders high, standing in the dark before nightvision Bloom off, shaders high, standing in the dark after nightvision kicks in I know how to ''fix'' it (turning off bloom and putting the shaders on medium and for the FPS turning off a few settings) but I should be able to run it maxed out and it's patched. Besides that I have pored over the FAQ's, threads in this forum and others, experimented, reinstalled the game and patch numerous times and same thing. ''Funnier'' still is that I have noticed the change in the ''date modified'' area of the exe but with or without the patch it does the same things and runs the same way. My specs: [Processor & Chipset Processor Manufacturer: Intel Processor Type: Core i5 Processor Model: i5-2450M Processor Speed: 2.50 GHz Processor Core: Dual-core (2 Core) Cache: 3 MB Memory Standard Memory: 4 GB Maximum Memory: 8 GB Memory Technology: DDR3 SDRAM Memory Standard: DDR3-1066/PC3-8500 Display & Graphics Screen Size: 14" Display Screen Type: Active Matrix TFT Color LCD Display Screen Technology: CineCrystal Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Screen Mode: WXGA Backlight Technology: LED Screen Resolution: 1366 x 768 Graphics Controller Manufacturer: NVIDIA Graphics Controller Model: GeForce GT 540M Graphics Memory Capacity: 1 GB Graphics Memory Accessibility: Dedicated Software Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium Operating System Architecture: 64-bit] I can run S.T.A.L.K.E.R complete (latest version) on max with a tolerable FPS (should turn graphics a bit off so I can get better FPS now that I think about it) and Ages Of Empires 3 on max, so i'm pretty sure it's not my laptop. I want to run it max, use my laptop's horsepower so to speak, so not being able to experience Penumbra as it should annoys me, I feel petty about it but still. Is there any fix? There are three segments/areas in the log that look obviously screwed up. So far, it just seems like an issue that was never resolved. Also, it's interesting how I had the *same* issues with an old Acer desktop (with a demo) and now with a much better performing Acer Laptop (full collection). |
