Very stupid question...

Recommended Posts

I know this is a dumb question but I need help. When ever I play Dayz the grass sparkles. I know it sounds dumb but it actually does sparkle an glow. My question is how do I make it to were it doesn't do this? I have changed every video option from lowest to highest an nothing works. Sorry about having to post an ask I have searched and found nothing. Any help would and will be appreciated, thanks.

This is the best I could at this moment. It wouldn't let me take a picture while playing full screen so I had to play in window mode. The grass doesn't seem to be glowing brightly because of windowed mode but trust me when in full view its really bright an annoying.

If any body else has this problem I managed to fix it by disabling the antialiasing.

Try playing with the advanced video settings, first disable post processing effects, if that doesn't work start changing everything, some setting may "fix" your problem.

Sounds like and antialiasing problem. Try changing it.. Also have you done anything with the CFG files? Like attempt to enable FXAA or SMAA?

Hard to tell with the picture but it looks like the transparencies around the edges are.. well... not transparent. I am sticking with my original thought of an antialiasing issue.

Make sure you have updated drivers for your video card.. ALSO i see you have windows 7. try adding -winxp to you launch shortcut.

I already have this in my steam launch options Where at in the line should I add -winxp?

"-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\ArmA 2;EXPANSION;ca"

Or is the shortcut on my desktop?

There is a similar topic here http://dayzmod.com/f...e-in-the-grass/

It is running way smoother right know, I checked for updates an my graphics needed one. The picture in this link is what I was trying to describe I got same issue. I put in the shortcut code also. Thanks for all the help guys but nothing is working. If anybody comes up with a fix please let me know I really want to play this game with no issues. If I come up with a fix ill post.
