I cannot select very high or ultra textures..

[philosophe à vendre]

Hello,

is there a way for me to select "very high" or "ultra" for the textures?
the higher I get are "high" textures. I suppose it's because i have 2 gb of vram (gtx 960) but i play at 1680*1050 so maybe it could be ok at very high.
does the game prevent me to choose this option since i see posts where people talk of very high textures and ultra?....
anyone else having this issue?

I tried editing the "gamerprofile" file and selected "vey high" but it didn't carry into the game.

Also i cannot select ultra on a lot of options : for post fx, max is "high", same goes for environnement.. while terrain quality and water quality can't past "very high".
Can these settings be put in ultra?

And what about ssao, i didn't see any option for it unless i overlooked something.

Thank you for your time.

try deleting your gamerprofile .xml file

i use an Asus GTX 960 and i can set the vid settings to Ultra right in the menu and it works

but i do have a 1080 P monitor and i'm running FarCry Primal @ 1920 X 1080

and no there are no other settings offered via the menu for ambient occlusion

this game does not have the Nvidia gameworks features they included in Far Cry 4

I deleted the file but same thing :(
Since you also have a 960 i don't understand this problem at all :(
Even turning the overall graphicall quality to ultra or very high doesnt make the textures (or other settings that can't past very high or high) change.

Now that i think of it, the options for the textures are "normal" and "high" low isn't there either......

dunno i am still on Nvidia driver vesion 359.06

thats the only driver ASUS has posted for my card in Win 10
the Nvidia drivers that Nvidia released i had nothing but problems with since i upgraded to win 10
so i'm sticking with the Drivers from ASUS that are made for my card

Is there even ultra on textures?

did you do a clean install of your drivers ?

and USE DDU to wipe your old ones first >?

or did you update them with that crappy geforce EXP bloatware ?

yes Ultra does appear as an option in my game

i'll go look again ..

EDIT

your right ultra results in textures = high

dont matter to me the game looks good to me and with razer cortex installed i'm getting decent FPS for a GTX 960 2 gig card

http://www.razerzone.com/cortex

fps are great that's why i would hope to see if i can turn some settings up like the textures :)

yea mine does too looks the same i never noticed that yea ultra wont set the textures any higher .. sets em to HIGH when i select Ultra settings

also i tried to search the forum to see if people had this issue but i found nothing.
I guess 2gig cards are getting more rare or people didnt notice??

[-=SOF=-WID99]

i didnt try DSR yet on the game .. might have to try that one of these days

kinda sucks they limited the AA and AO options tho in the game

dunno i wish i would have waited a few weeks when i got my 960 .. a few weeks after i bought it they came out with the 4 gig model for only $20 more

i would have gladly paid 20 bucks for 2 more gig of v ram

but so far my strix has not let me down

[philosophe à vendre]

yeah same for me :(

by the way i'm trying to see if really, very high or ultra textures exists in the game or not...
because i see people talking about the ultra or very high preset but not about the textures in particular..

Could it be that the max is high? Can someone tell me if he can put specifically textures at very high or ultra?

look here

looks like thats all thats offered from the screen shots there

There are global presets you can set: "Ultra," "Very High," "High," "Normal," and "Low." You can manually adjust each setting as well, there are texture settings, shadow, post fx, geometry, terrain, water, environment, volumetric fog, motion blur and AA. None of these settings have any hidden settings, when you set the global option to "Ultra" you are getting the highest possible in-game settings.
