DarthVandar205 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I assume this is because I cant use the frame buffer effects but ill ask anyways. Why exactly when I play the game does the hologram characters look just like the real people *cant tell the diff between them and any other NPC* and why does the security videos you see in the terminals not have that blue tint to it and instead just looks like the level does when youre walking around it? I was wondering about this because when i looked at the disc that came with the strategy guide for the game for the x-box all of this stuff was in there and I was just wondering if this was supposed to be the same for the PC version *which I have* and weither its because I lack the ability to use frame buffer effects.

stingerhs Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 who knows??? it could have something to do with your video card not being able to render the kind of effects needed for the holograms to word. of course, this leads me to my first question, what kind of video card are you running??

ugok Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 yes, this is due to your video card not able to use frame buffer effects. i had the same situation once, but after switching to new card(6600gt) it now has some nice effects. really great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVandar205 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Its one of those GeForce4MX cards and yeah I heard that they dont have frame buffer support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 then that would be your problem (besides, the GeForce 4MX is nothing more than a slightly upgraded GeForce2). if i were you, i'd go ahead and spend a mere $50-75 for a new graphics board that supports all the graphic features. not to mention, the game would run a heck of a lot smoother.
