Europe in Ruins: Reinforcements – Improved Visuals MOD

This is not another texture pack and it does not change any textures. This MOD enables the game to load the high quality textures when using the zoom out feature. This gives a huge improvement in visuals when the game is zoomed out. Improvements the at default view are minimal.


CHANGES MADE ARE THE FOLLOWING:
*Changes to LOD levels for textures, effects, splashes.
*Increased render targets resolution to increase full detail texture radius to prevent blurry textures the further away they are from the camera.  


WARNING:
The texture improvements may impact you frame rate. If you have enough RAM on you graphic card the performance penalty should be negligible. Frame rates will probably be unplayable if you do not have enough RAM.


DISCLAIMER:
I did not make this mod. It is an EiR:R adaptation of the VisualMOD created by Nebula:
http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=46475


PLACEMENT OF FILE:
Place the SGA file in the following directories:
  
...:\Program Files (x86)\THQCompany of Heroes\EuropeInRuins\Arcives...EIRRImprovedVisualsData.SGA
  



DOWNLOAD THE FILES HERE:

In game visuals are better due to JPG compression artifacts.

Oooh!  Very cool!  Does this solve the issue of units/objects disappearing when using the zoom out mod?

I believe so - I havent fully tested it yet, but I have a version here that will be great for replay posting or shoutcasts too Wink

Removes the Green circles (for selection) and the territory boundries.

Thanks Pauli Wink

Yes. Fog of war is not changed but ”Everything” should have full detail when zoomed out. Unfortunately this does not (yet) solve the problem with shadows in the top of the screen.

Go into options and look at the graphic control section in there. U see that slider bar, pull it full right and that stops disappearing units Tongue That slider controls draw distances btw

Does this mod provide more texture/LOD detail than the maximum options settings?  If so, I expect this mod will greatlly reduce the performance of lower end machines, like mine (2.2 gHz AMD Athlon 3500+ Single Core, 1 gb RAM, 512 mb Nvidia 8400 GS PCIe GPU).

Yes it does. My CoH is useing 1.5+ GB of Main RAM. You should not try and use this MOD with you current setup evem though the 512MB on the graphic card might be enough.

Everything is working now! (It was also working before since the zip-file contained the SGA-file and the readme. Wink )

Improved what? It looks like low settings to me. Or is this for people who can't hack DX10?

It has nothing to do with the difference between DX9 and DX10. Why don’t you try it out and then you come back and comment on it…

I love this mod.  I play zoomed out and now I can see units in the top 1/3 of the screen!

I never have a problem seeing anything. I have a wide screen monitor and i can see units at the very top of my screen even with the zom out mod and zoomed way out. i'm always on the lowest setting, does this help that?
