Textures - greyed out option
@RoryC
Hehe, well :) I can confirm that in my production_Config.ini is texture_quality=1 but the option is greyed out stuck on medium (like in Casshern's post). Manual editing worked for me. Thanks for all the replies and help. w. ✠ ✠

A small update:
It seems like "1" is really the medium quality. When I set it to 0 the quality goes up. I swear before I started fiddling with the config file the quality was actually "high" despite displaying greyed out "medium"; I can tell on login screen by looking at the barrels. However the config file was saying "1". Whenever I change some settings in game in the options menu, the client writes texture_quality=1 line into the config file, making my precious textures lose some details. ✠ ✠

Wiggin, do you have 32 or 64 bit windows and how much RAM?
A lot of people had trouble running out of memory and crashing and setting the textures to medium was usually the first thing suggested as a "fix". Maybe they patched in an override to keep textures on medium on low RAM and/or 32bit systems. ... is not a troll

Hi, yeah I am one of those people with ancient 32bit systems (4gb ram). I sincerely hope this is not the fix.

May be this will help dev team somehow - yesterday i reinstalled windows xp 32 bit, downlaoded the game and saw texture quality is greyed out. But when i was on win 7 64 bit prior to that i could change texture quality.

Still having that problem.

" if you're having an issue, rather than bump an old thread make your own with your details. that said, the texture quality option is intentionally disabled on 32-bit operating systems because they can't support enough memory required for high textures. so basically, it's not an issue. it is working as intended. |

I have the same issue as the people in this thread reported. The texture quality option is stuck on medium greyed out. Nothing has changed about my computer and I never had any problems running high quality graphics in solo play. Some parties gave me some troubles but most of the time I adjusted the quality myself in those cases.

" Read my last post (the post right above yours). As for your problem (and the same for most people), you're running 32-bit operating system, so this option was intentionally disabled. |
|
" I understand it was intentional. I'm just saying it wasn't necessary (as I've never experienced any problems) and that I'd like to control the texture quality myself again. |
