Snow and Underground Battles Hurt the Eyes

[PrivateXTC]

Anyone hate how snow battles and underground battles look so ugly? The white background makes units look like black ants and underground needs some wallpaper or something as it just looks so wrong. I try to skip any battles in snow or undeground as they seriously look ♥♥♥♥♥.

Induced artificial snow blindness haha... I'd adjust the gamma settings ;) .. I agree though those textures are ugly... especially the trees yuck!

The undergrounf are great but i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate that you cant see the bordors in snow maps.

[PROMETHEUS]

Yes they made better snow grounds i previous games.

Not too bothered by that. It's the Chaotic Red Glare battlefields that I find annoying.

I gotta agree with the OP - there's a few snow maps that are OK, but generally it jut detracts from the spectacle.

The underground maps don't seem to have a light source with more of a weird ambient blue everywhere and low quality textures in comparison to the rest of the game.

They did have some early promo footage with much nicer underground maps and better lighting, so I assume that the shadows were just killing the frame rates and they had to scrap it (I believe it was in the Gyrocopter reveal video). Maybe by the time the trilogy is complete hardware will have improved and we can get that option.

Good news!

There's a fix for that:

I absolutely hated those too and this is highly recommended.

^I saw that promo footage and underground looked awesome, now it just looks like a bombed out WW2 shelter.

i was cheated by the promo footage too, and i used the mod upstairs,it gets better only a little bit..

[Hedonist]

Snow field looks bad, yeah. I think they can't do anything about it anymore. Unless CA will have an effort reading this thread and updating their maps (I hope).

No they have DLC to make and sell why bother fixing anything?

Its called dynamic shadows.

They shut them off in the release build because the torrent of people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the game not running would be too much to handle.
