ladlon 10 Posted April 15, 2010 In a few games, including Arma2, I sometimes see a sort of moire pattern happening on buildings... like two textures struggling to occupy the same plane... but one is the building texture, and the other appears black... resulting in a sort of animated striped pattern. Just curious what exactly that is, since I've seen it in other games too... and, if possible, how to fix that. I think it generally appears when you are looking through a scope or binoculars.

MavericK96 0 Posted April 15, 2010 I've seen the same thing, not sure what causes it really. But yeah, it typically only happens on far-away textures. It's really noticeable when running ArmAIIMark, Test 5 (Space Capsule), the water seems to "fight" with the land texture until you get closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 126 Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) It's a known issue and been there (more or less) since OFP days. It's called Z-fighting and there are several old topics discussing this issue. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=90238 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=92732 Been hoping this could be fixed/improved but nothing happend so far... /KC Edited April 16, 2010 by KeyCat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladlon 10 Posted April 17, 2010 Hrmmm.... Thanks for those links. Interesting read. Ya, I kind of figured it was battling textures... probably at a point where it's not sure whether to use the near or far texures (hi or low res)... not that I'm much of a 3D programming expert. Shame to see that the people on those posts are disappointed in the lack of apparent feedback. Not exactly a gamestopper, but does pull you out of the moment for a bit. Ah, well... at least I know the name they call it now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
