Granted, it doesn't make much of a differnce in gameplay, since it is far, and the enemies don't move fast enough for it. Wiz 8 was designed for less than stellar graphics cards, not your GeForce 4 TI 4600 or ATI Radeon 9700   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Kuli (Guest) (145 posts) Apr-07-03, 10:10 PM (Pacific) 3. "No change in gameplay..." ... I agree with that, but the limited display distance is the most annoying thing in Wiz8. In dungeons etc. that's no problem at all, but seeing mountains pop out of the fog really looks dated (the ego-shooters from the time that Wiz8 was released already had unlimited display distance). It may be okay, when the party is walking on the various roads, but when you stand on the outlook at the shipcrash - site at the monastery for example and you look left and right, the effect is really weird!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Gameplay won't change (it's allready perfect, so it can't get better ), but it would be an immense optical improvement. Even if it's part of the engine the display distance is probably some #define in a header file... which could be changed by the developers to release a patch.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
