What is wrong with the signs?

[Sayamie]

Every sign in the game looks like these... Just no one else says they see them like this...

ｗ

[Shian]

How very odd.... all my signs are in plain common.

Edit: are you sure it is not one of your mods?

[walkerglassmire]

Is an old bug. I don't recall how to fix it however.

[Sayamie]

At least I am not alone that has had it happen
The fourth symbol looks like a sideways "大" though...
Oh well, I have never payed much attention to the signs anyway.

[Zexoin]

All I did to get rid of it was to set the video settings to maximum

[tramsan]

If I'd have to guess, I'd say to try and enable decals in video options.

[velveeta]

i had this problem (along with all the [n]pcs being naked when i saw them) under xp.
it doesn't happen with vista.....

[Kerech]

It's an old bug. Sometimes if you run out of range and then come back, it'll fix itself, but not always. I've noticed this problem a lot more lately though, so don't know if something changed to make it worse or not.

My computer would most likely fail completely if I tried to do that

[Fridlekh]

without setting your video to maximum...

/setpref useLowestLevelShader false

[C`gan]

Hmmm. Going to New Brommel? Looks like both left and right are the exact same place because of the exact same characters.

[Sayamie]

Fridlekh's advice worked after I changed areas

Oh and the characters were the same on every sign, no matter what they were for...

[Fridlekh]

oops, yeah, forgot to mention it doesn't affect already loaded assets. :P you could have tried a /purgetextures if you just couldn't wait until your next port for the fix, but I can't remember if that command is available by default and I'm at work so I can't check. :P


The fix should stay in effect until the next time you save your gfx options.

[Hrough]

/setpref useLowestLevelShader false

Thanks. o.o; I didn't realize this was a bug. All my signs have always looked like that, I figured the game was just odd. I shall try that when I get home.

It's not >_<

[Fridlekh]

Ah well, I remembered it being available in beta... but the /purge* commands are only really useful for testing asset changes without restarting.

O_o Well that would be really useful (at least to me). Do you know how to add them ? Thanks

[Fridlekh]

Things that can be purged are ... Sectors, Models, Textures, Paths (filesystem), Characters, Sounds, Resources, and Terrain. /purgeall was a macro that just called all the other purge commands (except models for some reason) The commands take no params.

That *should* be enough to get you going.

That one is not available either ;_; ah well, I guess I'll have to reboot. Thanks for trying anyway

[Fridlekh]

I said that'd be enough to get you started (in writing your own command definitions) not that it would work without doing anything. :P
