Have any of you guys experienced running in MWO and shooting afar at a mech, only to see your shot hit some INVISIBLE WALL!

I had the same/similar issue in Battlefield, with buildings NOT rendering from AFAR, only to find out the culprit was a video setting in the options called "MESH QUALITY". It had a added benefit of letting you see "behind" buildings or walls, but once again , you would waste bullets at times thinking the enemy was hittable so it had negatives as-well.

The negatives are MUCH MORE Pronounced in MWO IMO, because of the heat penalty when missing shots or even wasting ammo on invisible objects.

I did a quick experimentation and found the OBJECT DETAIL really helped with things rendering closer, by putting it on VERY HIGH.[/color]

I was curious if there is another setting to help this? I know that when I tried "environment" or "textures" on very high, I saw NO difference and had Mechs that appeared to be standing on mid-air because things were NOT rendering.

Also, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the FPS? I had much higher FPS last year 2013, only to come back, and now I'm getting high's in the 90-100 but it dips to 50 but feels very laggy. I get 100-200 FPS in games like Battlefield 4 and that's on 64 player maps on high settings. Game ran much smoother last year. My hardware is:

i7 4770k overclocked to 4.5ghz
GTX680 overclocked +100Mhz core/+400Mhz memmory
8GB DDR3 2133MHz Corsair Platinum
Asus z87 sabertooth mobo
BenQ XL2420TX 120hz monitor 24"

I have a really good friend with almost the same build as yours, in fact he has two builds.
#1. is a socket 2011 i7 with a GTX 680, he has no issues.
#2. is a socket 1150 with the 4770k and a GTX 780 ti, he has no issues.

Did you recently update your video drivers.?? If you did, did you update to a Beta Driver?

I'm sure that it's a simple setting like turning ambient occlusion off in Nvidia control panel or something.

Exactly what settings do you run MWO on for video quality..??
Have you run the MWO repair tool.??
Does the game ever freeze or lock up??

Rendering issues aren't recent. It is a side effect of LoD. Unfortunately, that means that low and mid-end system will suffer the effects more than a high-end system. That really shouldn't come as a surprise.

There might be something you can tweak in the user.cfg though, if you're feeling confident that your system can take it.

I have ambient occlusion OFF. I run on 1080P mechwarrior on my 24" BenQ with everything on LOW except for Object Particles on VERY HIGH.

The game never locks up - where is the MWO repair tooL?

I'll try cahnging my drivers now

Repair Tool.

I suggest you run it after every patch, and every driver update.

updated drivers to REAL 335.drivers nvidiia had the beta drivers

ran repair tool

60-100 frames fluctuations, way better than before, seems more solid/reliable. Everything on LOW except for OBJECT DETAIL

Looks like everything is better, good job.
