    Visual Quality

    Pockles posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting

    I'm trying to figure out something here with the graphics options. I have a pretty decent system (core-i7, 12gb ram, gtx 580, win7) and when I play Arma 2 OA and other DLC packs like PMC and BAF, my the visual quality in the game looks stunning, similar to what is shown here (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?73572-ArmA-II-amp-OA-Photography-I-No-images-over-100kb-Pictures-only-NO-comments). A similar thread on these forums also has some very stunning visuals (http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5489). When I run DayZ however, I get nothing that looks like that. The texture quality is very low and blurred. I get very little or no grass, the water and shorelines look very geometric and unreal and the lighting is very black and white which makes objects in the game look so plain. If I remember right some settings such as grass and draw distances could be set once you joined a server in Arma 2, but there doesn't seem to be any option for this in DayZ. I don't have Arma 2 combined ops, but I have Arrowhead and the DLCs after that. I found a way to get mod working by using the Arma 2 free edition with Arma 2 OA and I'm not sure if that's got anything to do with my lower quality visuals. Is there something I'm missing here? What do I need to do to get my game to look like the screens posted?
