− | ==Graphics options==
| |
− | {{ii}}The Angel of Darkness' options panel in the Launcher has many options for tweaking the display quality in the game. Many of these are poorly documented and offer little explanation as to how each option will affect the game itself. The guide below will give you the best visual quality the game can offer. Credit goes to Maverin over at Tomb Raider Forums for gathering all of this information together.
| |
− |
| |
− | To start, open the Launcher and go to Settings. Then go to the tab corresponding to your graphics card's name, which is where the graphics options are.
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Screen Format'''
| |
− | Choose the option "'''32 bit X8R8G8B8'''" "'''32 bit A8R8G8B8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Colour Depth'''
| |
− | Choose the option "'''32 bit Depth D24S8'''". (''If this setting causes issues with black "blobs" appearing on Lara, use one of the options below the one listed.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Render Type''' - There are three main options here.
| |
− |
| |
− | {{file|Shader Hardware}} - Offers the highest quality graphical output and is the most optimized choice, but has certain minor issues such as light texture flickering in certain places.
| |
− |
| |
− | {{file|Fixed Hardware}} - Basically the same rendering process as TR1-5 on Hardware Accelerated mode, and has less issues than
| |
− | Shader Hardware, but turns off certain effects in-game so it will not be as visually appealing as Shader
| |
− | Hardware.
| |
− |
| |
− | {{file|Software}} - If you are lacking in performance in-game, you may receive some minor benefit using this render type.
| |
− |
| |
− | Recommended: '''Shader Hardware'''
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Monitor Aspect''': Set this based on the table below according to your monitor's aspect ratio.
| |
− |
| |
− | {| class="wikitable"
| |
− | |-
| |
− | ! Aspect Ratio !! Value
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 4:3 || 1.33
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 16:10 || 1.6
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 16:9 || 1.77
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 21:9 || 2.35
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 32:9 || 3.5
| |
− | |}
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Gamma'''
| |
− | - Based on preference according to your individual monitor setup. Recommended to lower the default value
| |
− | slightly regardless, as by default the game's brightness is slightly above the halfway point so the contrast is a
| |
− | little too bright. Bring it down to the halfway point.
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Options'''
| |
− | - Section with multiple tickboxes for different options. Select all of the ones you are able to. (''If "VMR9" causes issues, enable/disable as needed as noted in "Issues Fixed" above.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Textures''':
| |
− | "'''Filter Room'''", "'''Objects'''", "'''Env'''", "'''Actors'''", "'''Bump'''" - Set each to "'''Anisotropic'''"
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Quality Room'''", "'''Quality Actors'''" - Set to "'''High'''"
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Format RGB'''", "'''Format ARGB'''" - Choose "'''32 bit A8R8G8B8'''" (''According to Nakamichi680, there's no benefit to setting these two values any higher.<ref>https://www.tombraiderforums.com/showpost.php?p=7940488&postcount=6 The best settings for Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness. - Tomb Raider Forums</ref>'')
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Render Targets''' - Multiple tickboxes. Select all of the ones you are able to.
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Texture1'''", "'''Texture2'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit A8R8G8B8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Depth'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit Depth D24S8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Reflections and Refractions''' - Multiple tickboxes. Select all of the ones you are able to.
| |
− | (''If using the "Heat Haze Effect Fix" from Nakamichi680's Multi-Patcher, enable Heat Haze. Otherwise, leave it
| |
− | off.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Texture'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit A8R8G8B8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Depth'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit Depth D24S8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Cubemaps Reflections''' - Check both tickboxes. In the dropdown menu next to the tickboxes, select the highest number shown. This
| |
− | corresponds to the number of reflections, and varies from system to system.
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Texture'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit A8R8G8B8'''". (''If using the "Increased Cubemap Resolution" patch in Nakamichi680's Multi-Patcher, you can opt to use "16 bit A4R4G4B4" or "16 bit A1R5G5B5" instead, if available. Either is fine.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Depth'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit Depth D24X8'''". (''D24S8 is bugged here, as it can cause issues with Lara's shadows. This is why using D24X8 in this instance is preferable.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Camera Update'''", "'''Character Update'''" - Choose the option "'''All'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Character Quality'''" - Choose the option "'''High'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Projected Shadows''' - Check the tickboxes "'''User Clip Planes'''" and "'''nVidia Shadows'''". From the dropdown menu next to the tickboxes,
| |
− | select the highest number shown. This corresponds to the number of shadows projected by the game.
| |
− |
| |
− | (''Taking screenshots with User Clip Planes turned on will result in the game crashing when the Print Screen key is pressed. This setting only seems to be a small memory saver, thus it may not be necessary. If it causes issues, uncheck it.'')
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Format'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit A8R8G8B8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | "'''Depth'''" - Choose the option "'''32 Bit Depth D24S8'''".
| |
− |
| |
− | If the tickbox for "'''Pixel Shader 2.0 Shadows'''" is checked, uncheck it as having both enabled at the same time will cause the game to not render any shadows at all. It contains minor issues compared to
| |
− | '''nVidia Shadows''', and are of lesser quality. If using an AMD graphics card you may still select '''nVidia Shadows''', as the option is independent of hardware.
| |
− | Unchecking this option will disable the options below it as they correspond to Pixel Shader Shadows being
| |
− | enabled.
