View Full Version : building textures.

How is it that when I zoom in, the buildings textures get of really low quality? Even when I put all the options at maximum (it just runs quite slow). And to top it off, there's only one 'building' that DOES look good(even with mediocre settings), which is the 'wall'. I would include some screenshots to show you guys what I speak of, but I have no idea where the program saves my screenshots. I looked all around the Anno 1701 folder, but can't find nothing.

To conclude, I just don't think my videocard (Radeon X600) is the wrong here, for the walls do show up nice and rendered.

-Any- help would be appreciated :)

did you use the screenshot-function from the game or do you use fraps or something like that?

Much depends on what video crivers you are using. The X300/500/600 cards do have severe issues with many drivers (as it's been found this way on other forums). So, if you'd provide your DxDiag (if unsure how got to the first post of my Sticky about problems with the game), we can better advise.

As to snapshots, that's not if my "realm", so I'll leave that to one who can better advise with that.


Sincerely,
Phil

For your Screenshot problem:
press "print" (i think it is print. It's on the right side above the "delete" button) on your keyboard and the game will create a screenshot :go:

When you end playing, go to the 1701 folder and there is a folder called "Screenshots" (i hope it's the same in your version). There are all the screenshots saved, which you created with the "print" button :go:



edit:
and of course, welcome to the forum Aljosja :halloha:

Thank you for your replies so far. I again checked if I have a screenshots folder nested in my Anno 1701 folder, but no. I'll try creating the folder; maybe than the game will reckognize it.

As for the dxdiag, see the next reply.

You needn't create that folder. I think the game will do that, when you make the first screenshot :go:

One important fact you did leave out is that you're running Vista. :eek:

I do want to note that the X-series cards up through the X1900s (TMK) are only DX9-compliant. So, even though Vista comes with DX10 you might need to install one of the latest DX9 versions. This has helped a few with Vista anyway. Frankly though, I don't know if ATI has Vista-approved drivers, so that you might need to verify as the XP drivers (no matter the version) are not compatible with Vista and this is a known issue.

Also to note, the game was not designed with Vista in mind, nor is it optimized with Vista. This does not mean it won't work, but you will need to do some rather severe tweaking and modifications to get what you desire if it is even possilbe. Vista does have video compatibility issues yet to be resolved and this is true no matter which card type of drivers you use with them. Graphics is one flaw that was overlooked when Vista was released in both quality and compaibility.

Being I'm not an ATI user, I can't offer much more than this. If you had nVidia I could better help, but not sure to your satisfaction. Sorry, this is all I can offer, but Vista has long way to go and the bugs I'm aware of and it being a new OS is not yet known what to do at this point.


Sincerely,
Phil

Sorry I should've mentioned I was using Vista. I wasn't aware that Vista and Anno 1701 wouldn't be operating smoothly though, but thank you for your clear explanation! I guess I'll just wait it out and check this forum from time to time to see if I can too enjoy this wonderfull game in optimal fashion :)

As for the screenshot folder.. I have made countless screenshots during the game, and it always confirmed it too. I just can't find the folder it saves too anywhere.

maybe a tiny question left.. is it at all possible that Sunflowers will release an add-on or expansion set where windows vista and directx 10 will be fully supported?

Screenshots are stored in a folder named screenshots in your 1701 folder.

There is no screenshots folder present!

Anyways, this might come in handy for people who have the same issues as me regarding the texture quality;
In your Anno 1701 folder, there is a file called Engine.ini ; open the file with administrator rights, and change the value of <QualityLevel> to 4. Now the textures are muchly improved!

Funny that no one mentioned that when I asked for help here :scratch:

Hi Aljosja,

you will find the screenshots folder via C: > Programs (or where you installed the game) > ANNO 1701 > Screenshots. :go:

What you edited in the .ini file CAN be editied in your in-game settings. We just don't note the .ini file as there are other things in there one should not edit or it might screw up the playability of the game. So, if was in-game you should have used and that is always something one has to "play" with to suit their system and personal preferences.

Sincerely,
Phil

Maybe nobody mentioned it because nobody else goes messing with the .ini file. Like Phil said most of those settings can be made using the options menu and less likely to mess up the .ini file.

Before anybody else undertakes what Aljosja is suggesting, understand that we cannot help you fix it if you mess it up. You will have to reinstall the game if you mess up any initialization file.
