How do i get RO to look like it did Pre-patch?

[Pdog]

I don't like the new graphics, the game looks different and its more blocky and to sharp, it used to be real smooth. I turned bloom off and on and it didn't fix it, i got ansio and aa running both at 16x, my vid card is a geforfce 8800gtx

I must be missing something here...

It seems like, if anything, you have some AF enabled now.

Its more jaggy, lookit the trees

 

[Zips]

I fail to see how it looks worse now.

He probably doesn't like the new bloom effect. But the old bloom that he likes better is in fact just a blurring effect over the complete screen and that may look better to him but not the majority.
And to answer your question: there is no way to get that look back, fortunately.

 

[Brandt]

I agree with Pdog, the game used to look really gritty now everything is just too clean.

 

[Zetsumei]

well in your case you was one of the few persons that loved the old bloom appareantly. To me your first screenshot looks blurred or smooth as you call it that was a side effect of the old bloom that pretty much was fixed .

Btw in your controlpanel you should have options to anti alease textures, that will fix your "tree" problem.

Basically you loved a bug, that is no longer here :X

You will have to do better with the comparaison screenshots, I don't see any real difference.

I 've looked using different moniters and at different resolutions !

I like the new bloom effect and note that fps loss is minimum !

Thanks...

I think it's awesome you used a photo of you using an exploit during an IC match.

 

[Dheepan]

That's not an exploit. I've used that spot a lot.

 

[Zetsumei]

What is exploity about just laying up a hill firing a path far forwards :X

Before patch

But you notice a bigger difference actually seeing the monitor than just a screenshot. The game is smoothing out the jaggies at moderate distance, so a dudes helmet running through a trench or something i can't make out because it blends in with the terrain, before it was all smooth i could make out details now it sucks.

 

[Murphy]

I can't see a difference except the better looking lighting there either.
If anything, the game looks sharper with the new bloom than it did with the old one. Its just harder to mke out people if they are behind something brighter than them because the bright stuff is shiney now. But that's cool. I like it.

 

[spraduke]

He is complaining about how the new bloom means its not blurry which for some bizzare reason he liked. Be glad, now you will be able to see people at long distance.

There is an exploit at the top of the kauk hill where the mgers head is in the soil and cant be shot from the shepherds path.

All graphics options got reset too. You sure you set all options to highest again? And do you have exactly the same AA and AF as before because too much (especially AF) can make things look blurry. I don't have AF any higher than 8...so try different AA, AF and reduce gamma, brightness etc. Also check you have the same type of 16x AA as before, if you set it in RO instead of Nvidia control panel now..16x Quality, SS etc. You also have gamma, brightness settings different..looks darker in your old pic.

i used to see people from far away range just fine before.
now i don't see them. if a dude is kneeling behind the rock wall on kauk i can't make out the top part of his helmet, it blends in with the rock line jaggies. Before the helmet would be smoothed out and i can make it out against the crags of the rocks. Look at the trees.

My gfx settings are all the same, i didn't change anything.

look at the trees, you can see what im talkin about.

im guess im stuck with these crap graphics from on , why did i bother wasting all this money on a high end system for tripware to cut my balls off like this.

Don't go over reacting. Geeze. They look better now. Tweak your graphical setting in game and out, I'm sure you can find a way to "downgrade" the look.
