To a degree yes, but not to the full extent of NV Inspector, you get the choice of override, but once you get into the game (since it launches as an admin) it can undo the override, the inspector program gives to a way around this with "Treat override as application controlled" and while you can control values for AA and AF in NVCP, you cannot have it use AA settings meant for other programs. I have done alot of back and forth testing and at least according to my eyes, it looks better using NV inspector.

Is there something similar for ATI driverS?

Lordred, I curse in the top, non-spoiler video once. O.o;

Anyway.
Shots I took this patch, completely unedited. No setting changes. Radeon 6870s.

My killing blow.


Boom.












Spiders kill your Highlanders.

No editing of photos, no driver stuff, no changes of game files. MWO raw with settings on very high -- sadly very high doesn't do anything beyond high/medium settings.

Hopefully Lordred can make them beautiful.

Hi , nice job so far, if your asking for personal preference , I would like to see a big battle shot from a medium ~ long distance but in such a way for the battle to take the whole picture , also the whole team charging , enemy or ally, you know, inspirationaly over a hill, mby a moon or sun behind .

[Koniving]

Me and Lordred can try, but... our shots are not staged. That depends on whether or not the situation happens.

Do they even have a key for grabbing screenshots ingame? Printscreen does not work for me and PGI has saw fit to not give us screen grabbing tools to do our reports with even though they ask for screenshots.

Printscreen works, you just have to switch to windowed mode.

Patch broke the game on my end, trying to re-download it, but I'm only getting 20-30kb/s from the server, yet my connection is pulling its full weight of 700kb/s on speed tests...


I fear I will not make it back in this weekend.

These are absolutely amazing. It makes me want to spend a boatload of cash so I can run the game on max settings.

Little known fact. At the moment nothing beyond medium-high actually works.

In the spoiler is what it looked like with "High" settings when they actually worked, with Directx 11. My hardcore system was barely able to run the game and I run Battlefield 3 on Ultra. My microphone sucked at the time, so forgive me on that.

fantastic shots guys, there are some really nice paint jobs in there... wasn't aware they could look so pretty... Low elo pugs doesn't show you that sort of awesome

[Torridus]

I applaud your screenshots, you really make an art of it. I wish I had as much know how of images and drivers to be able to put out images of this quality. I love the Catapult and you do a good job of taking pictures of it. I only have one word for you sir, Bravo!

[Lordred]

Undesirable map after undesirable map, well a true artist persists even when given a bad canvas to work with.

Even in the foggy Frozen City, a little love goes a long way. (No AA at all for now, currently causes an undesirable motion blur problem with this patch)

One of the many drawbacks and founding principles of the game's design is that money is required for any paint or patterns of merit. Looking great in those screenshots isn't cheap (especially camos). Those early in the game are still trying it out to see if it is worth their money. But later on, low ELO or not there will be more and more with wonderful paint schemes. You will see them, eventually.
--------------------------
Right now the prevailing colors in paint schemes currently seem to be black, red, green, white, yellow and light blues with the occasional purple. Typical combos include black and red, white and light blue, black and green, and black and yellow. So to look unique one would likely want to avoid those colors.

You can also get MSI afterburner which allows you to do it fullscreen and to the settings you like - you can also use this to record videos and adjust graphics settings.

Koniving, love the shots - that one of the treb on cap makes em look scary!!

It was a nasty fight with that one. Had already just dealt with a Raven 3-L and immediately got attacked by the Treb. We were defending our base on assault, so there was no retreat. My ECM had been destroyed and he had streaks. Thankfully staying insanely close allowed me to keep breaking his locks.

Good colors on the last one, but yeah we'll need to get a bit more coordinated with our twin dragon use. But those fights were hard, everyone was just packing more heat. Might have to try it with Zero or Verrick, or perhaps me and Shaggy could try better communication next run.

Hey Lordred,

Love the pics, it must be a labor of love on your part.

Do you have any images of Spiders on Frozen City night jumping around from the tops of buildings and such?? Would love to see that from another persprctive other than my cockpit....LOL

Thanks!

Guys these screenshots are fantastic, loving your work and you've inspired me to do something similar for the Wolf Spiders as well. Keep up the superb work, these pictures remind me just how awesome this game really is (despite the bugs and stuff PGI are truly making a good game in very little time as well)

Once I'm happy with the screenshots of Wolf Spiders I'll post some of the results here, is it best to use the "cam-mando" for these or does the hunchback work as well?

All the best,
Blackfang
