Game still using old graphics?

[Keat]

Starting the game I didn't see any difference in graphics. At first I thought that all the differences might be under the hood and the only graphical difference might be using the HD mod for custom battles.
But then I watched a youtube video on the game and noticed that our games looked very different.
What stood out to me the most was that I didn't have a hedgerow, but there was also other things missing.
Anyone with the same problem?
Any solution?
Could having the old game installed effect the remaster somehow?

I've attached two pics, first from the youtube vid and the other from my game.

Neither of those are from the Remaster

Hi, seems like you don't get the updated map from Steam. Are you able to enter forts in your Waterloo map? For example, in the scenario WL1?

[Keat]

Yeah it seems that way. I tried removing my none steam Waterloo and also reinstalling the remaster but its still the same.
I can enter forts yes.

I use to have the hedgerow but now it's gone, strange.

yes same here, the beautifully manicured hedges are gone! The map fix patch might be the culprit?

I concur, the lovely topiary cut hedges around Hougoumont have now been replaced with sparse bushes and shrubbery, they were definitely there last week...

Happy to hear its not just me. Must have happened with the map fix patch. Hopefully they can fix it with the next one

I have not seen the screenshot levels of vegetation from the store page as of yet.

EDIT: Wait I think I see a little in the tutorial?

P.S. I have taken the high res texture "mod" off because I did not notice much difference. This way I figure have a better chance of the base code doing what it should as mods might interfere.

Hi, just to say again, the HD mod only works in Sandbox play at the moment. The screenshots on the store page were taken from the HD version.
Even if you select the HD mod, it still wont show in the scenarios.

[voltigeur]

if you have the HD maps mod selected, note that you need to select the HD version of the map (as they are separate) to be able to play on them in sandbox.

[ddriver]

Thanks v - I was just going to mention that! ;)

[voltigeur]

interestingly, I'm not seeing many hedges in the HD versions now either!

Why would the game come out without the remastered quality for the entire game?

try this
a) At the menu go to the modifications - enable "waterloo maps HD".
b) Go to settings page 2 - set everything to best or max and set sprite ratio to 1. Make all draw distances max. Enable off map trees and terrain tick boxes.
c) Go to settings page 3 - Set all camera move settings to max speed. Don't worry it will be slow even at this setting.
d) Choose singleplayer then "SANDBOX" from main menu and then choose a HD map. Preferably the HD Waterloo map. Choose army vs army. Load the game.

Awesome! Thank you.
