shell penetration holes and bounce marks not visible

[buster_wot]

With brand new, clean installation of WoT, after XVM 6.2.0 is installed penetration holes and bounce marks are no longer visible. If XVM is removed, the penetration holes and bounce marks are again visible.

Please show your graphics settings.

And who can confirm this?

Just checked with the EU client, all is OK.

[buster_wot]

Well, then I'll just have to wait until more people discover they have the problem (and bother enough to post about it), maybe on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th ... n-th try somebody will discover what's wrong. Anyway, thank's for having a stab at it, this game is a perpetual bugfest so I guess there's better things to do ...

I asked you to show in-game graphics settings.

[C..]

sirmax, there are some more details in that other thread, xvm and the penetration markers, and apparently the graphics settings sometimes have an influence, but not always... :-/

[sirmax]

Lets solve this separately, because I can't understand anything in that mix of different users reports.

 

First of all, I need to understand how to reproduce this.

Graphic settings attached (i reduced the resolution to 1024x768 and put it in window mode so the pics would be smaller - I play at 1680x1050, full screen mode ). Please let me know if you need more details.

Try to disable "Dynamic change of effects quality" check box.

[buster_wot]

There is no change - holes and bounce marks are not visible. If it's settings related, I've already reset them a few times by deleting the contents of %appdata%\wargaming.net.

 

If you think it would help, I can uninstall the game again and try it fresh.

I just need to know how to reproduce it, because there is no problem on my computer. Try to play with settings, decrease some values.

 HI, I apologize for geting involved in to the conversation. This topic is the same as the one I started when the 9.12 patch came out. (http://www.koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/28224-xvm-and-the-penetration-markers/). What I can tell you for sure is that since then I have tryed every possible graphic setting ( high, low, on improved and standard settings with HD and SD client ), I` tried only xvm and the xvm with in the QB-s addon. There is no bar or checkbox in the game settings that I have not pulled up or down, checked or unchecked. I have even reinstalled the game before I downloaded 9.13 and the problem remained. The only way I can get those pen markers and bounce markers to show is by removing the xvm.

 

What I do not understand is if my graphic settings where the same in 9.10 and everything was fine, and the second I downloaded the xvm for 9.12 (with the unchanged graphic settings) the problem started, why do you keep telling us change this and change that, increase this or decrease that. Don`t get me wrong, I am not trying to disrespect anyone or be rude, but none of us are idiots, ofc we are going to fiddle with our graphic settings before posting, at least I did. And every time someone new shows up with the same problem the line of questions asked by the people who can perhaps solve the problem is the same. Increase this, decrease that, give us log.xyz and log.abc. And all that would be fine if we would get an answer somewhere in the lines of " we think that problem is caused by ...." or even " we don`t know " would be fine by me. What I and maybe others don`t need is the answer "Everything works fine for me ", ofc it works fine, it works fine for every guy I know that plays the game, except for me and I didn`t change my settings for the last year, the only thing I am changing is the xvm.

 

Anyway, like I said, I am not trying to be rude or insult anyone, but you try and understand my position, after a month and a half, these kind of questions and answers get really anoying.

 

Best of luck to ya in you`re future endeavors.

Thanks for explanation, the problem is clearer for me now. Please attach replay, screenshot with this problem and logs (xvm.log and python.log).

Lets continue discussion in the old thread: http://www.koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/28224-xvm-and-the-penetration-markers/
