MTM2.com

hey i was wondering if anyone else has ever had a problem with the objects disappearing above the horizon draw line, this is everything that isnt part of the terrain, ie signs, the trucks, obstacles, etc.
i downloaded fixmore4 today and that didnt help
and it is doing it on stock tracks and custom ones
someone please help

a new problem has now arisen
all my water is showing the background and nothing else
i cant tell the water level or anything
please help

You've got a wierd problem. Maybe you should try doing a full uninstall of mtm2 and then put it back in, sometimes that helps. And before you run it after installation, restart your computer.

thanks
i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that

Sounds to me like you have your graphics set too high.

Try toning things back a little, like decreasing your viewing distance, or increasing it, as the case may be, and the general settings like the truck quality. If you have a great graphics card, setting even the quality on low, doesn't make any difference, it still looks great.

I have mine set on low, and there is no difference between the look of things, with it high to low. You can try messing with your buffer settings too, see if you card with allow triple buffering, in the graphics menu.

I'd just start messing with some of your visual settings, until you're happy with it. Like the sparse settings on the tracks, and the lens flare box and the things like that, alot of those things don't need to be on.

i have already tried all of that

Would it be possible to show us a screenshot of what you're talking about?

hope this helps

I think you're experiencing the noah effect. In the game, on the menu, go to

Options > graphics > hardware options

And uncheck the boxes for reflections AND truck reflections. You won't notice any significnt differece in the way the game looks and you should get rid of the water. Let us know if that doesn't fix you up.

i have already tried that
i turned all the graphics off
turned them back on one at a time
then tried doing each one seperately

Listen, this is not a debate, and it is not a matter of opinion. Do as I'm telling you and the water trouble will be taken care of.



Also, your picture does not allow remote linking. I changed it to a link so please do not change it back to an image. That just makes the page load slower.

Have you recently updated your graphic drivers? I had a similar problem when I updated to the latest nvidia drivers and had to roll back to the old drivers because the new ones really messed up mtm2.

phineus
im not trying to debate or anything
i have done what you said to do
it didnt help at all

malibu
im going to try going back to my old graphic card drivers
i too have an nvidia

Mal, look at his picture. You have to copy the url to the location bar. High vert truck, reflections turned on, water level high. There may indeed be a driver problem but until he gets rid of the noah effect, he won't be able to tell anything.

No you did not.

dont tell me what i didnt do

His picture reminded me of this..

It appears to be the noah effect but it wasn't in my case. The funky drivers were causing ground tiles to dissapear and reflect the sky and water.
