    Anybody here ever tried SweetFX with MWO? I'm growing more and more tired of 1) Fog/mist and 2) BLOOOOOMMMM. This program, if it is to be believed, can actually lessen those effects. I don't understand modern game designer's obsession with bloom and anything I can do to destroy it would make me very happy.

    I just want to run around and enjoy my maps instead of trying to constantly shoot at ghosts all the time.

    It's the thing that is eaten up by the GF/Wife after work has already drained your life away! ;)

    High quality looks almost real.

    Low quality looks like a painting.

    Also, it's easier to distinguish the atlas body in High quality, at least in these two shots.

    Oh, yeah, that thing...... What I just love, beyond anything else in the world is when the GF/Wifey looks at you and says she misses you when close to %100 of your off time is spent with her. :thumbsup:

    I was thinking the same thing.

    Also... apart from the Atlas&Vines, I can't tell what the hell i'm looking at in either picture LOL

    Still dreaming of the day, when MWO is playable @60+fps with (7yrs old!) Crysis 1 Ultra Max Graphix Quality! ^_^

    I thought I was the only one who ended up having to go thermal half the time except for very bright maps. I even thermal in the Caustic Coldarra.

    I think the new map is pretty but as soon as I've moved about 1/4 of the map from spawn everything is gray and white to me so I can see what to shoot. Kind of annoying that every map that comes out, I will probably be staring through thermal...

    Believe it or not, without bloom most of the games would look worse. I did 3d visualisations for some time and making bright pixels shine makes the overall impression much better 80% of the time. Its the same in MWO.

    Yep, I know.
    And that's the problem, bloom is used as an easy-going camouflage.

    @Blagg Zear Thanks, I was cleaning old files from my work computer, and I stumbled across an old wolf stencil that I made in visio for my tennis racquet and the idea just popped. I was wanting to update the old signiture & was looking to do something completely original ( I used some graphics from the web to creat the old one and was never satisfied with it ), so I snapped a screen of my jester, Made custom frame & Hex grafics in Visio, and then threw it together using Gimp 2.8 the whole signiture is upwards of 27 layers in four groups & constitutes an accumulated 3 hours of work... 4 lunch hours.... The Font is called Metal Macabre.

    I may add the quote (The Firmament Awaits) to the sig, since it seems that Grimm has removed the option for formating text in the sigs.
