Occasional blue water

[jahmanson]

I have been playing around with settings of my graphics card and with the Voodoo 2 settings. Overall I see less "jaggies" now but in return I finding that water sometimes displays as plain sky blue colour rather than the normal reflections. This is intermittent but annoying, particularly where a large body of water is on view.

Can anyone shed some light on which setting I might have changed to cause this ? Before my changes water was displaying correctly all the time.

My graphics card is an Intel HD M4600 and I'm running under Windows 10. I am running Links 2003 at 1360 x 768 32bit resolution which is the max my monitor can handle.

Many thanks

A stab in the dark.In Links graphics settings, if you have the graphics slider all the way to the left you will have no reflective water.

Thanks but my graphics settings for Links are on the max detail. Often water shows fine but sometimes I am getting a featurless (no reflections etc) sky blue fill. It's my fault for playing with the graphics settings I guess but the jagged edges of distant bunkers etc have been improved so I am trying to find out if I can have both nice water and no "jaggies" without upgrading my monitor / graphics card

Stepping back though, it is amazing that this 20+ year old software runs at all on my laptop which dates from 2018. Without the Voodoo facility it simply would not.

I'd be curious to see a screenshot of how it looks.

I would be happy to post a screen shot. Could you remind me of the key sequence in Links 2003 to capture a screen please ?

Thanks

Might be several ways to do it, I just use the Prt Scr key.

I have to use the Ctrl + Prt Scr key.
