[Resolved by player] Steam Client vs Official Website Client

Recommended Posts

Hello Wurmians.

To make a long story short, after being a long time player on Xanadu I decided to start over with the new Steam launch and servers.  I created a new char in the Steam client last night and really impressed with the new visuals as I havent played in a while.

Then I started thinking I am not sure I want my new char tied forever to Steam considering now much of an investment gets put into a good Wurm character.  Then I found out I could play on the new servers and use the client from the official website like I always have so I downloaded the newest 64bit version and created another new char on Harmony.  I was just concerned that is the whole Steam experiment doesn't work out for some reason I don't want my char lost because I cant use it with the store at the official site.

 

Once I logged in with the new character I noticed the graphics dont looks as nice.  The ambient occlusion is not working no matter where I set it and I am not sure the modern rendering is working honestly.

Is there some reason this might be?  All settings are the same between the two clients but the visuals are NOT the same at all.

 

Any advice would be helpful, thank you

I have the same problem.

Steam charachter view looks much better than old client.

They both have the same Graphics and Adv graphics settings.

How can I fix the old client view?

Well I am not sure if this was the  problem but you might try this.

I was looking at the gamesetting.cfg file.  On the Steam client the setting vbo_enabled=1 was disabled in the same file on the stand alone client.

I changed that from 0 to 1 on the stand alone client and now its working.

 

Try that

Yes, it worked. Thanks!

I guess they should put that in the next patch or so.

Ok Nordlys, what is your parameter setting for the thing that Stardog discovered?

Awesome! Glad it worked for you too.

Ya I can't remember what that vbo setting is. I used to know.

 

Whew glad I got it sorted as it was driving my OCD off a cliff.

Make sure everything in Compatibility is set on Core, use modern renderer. Then just fire the settings you want up.

Still dont know what caused the problem as I had the same settings on both charachters.

It didnt fix itself until I manually set the parameter mentioned above to 1.

Ya looks like that VBO settings is some kind of Intel work around so I have no idea why it fixed my problem either.

No idea but it did.
