HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2

What is your videocard ?
and which way 3D rendering do you set, DirectX or OpenGL?

[aidanw2000]

thank you for your fast reply, my graphics card is a geforce gtx660 and i render with openGL

Post here your complete/full OGL section pls.

What do you see when you are watching water? Flat water? Normal water? Black water?

[aidanw2000]

it's just the stock il2 water, here is the entire section [Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=2
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=1
TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0

If i change the settings to directx the game crashes, i tried to set it to dx and back to gl to see if that fixes it but it crashed

I see several wrong values there:

it's just the stock il2 water, here is the entire section [Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=2 --> Trilinear. But, you have got enabled anisotropic filter down (TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=1) Change this value by "3".
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=1
TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=0
TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=0
TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=1
TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1
TexFlags.DisableAPIExtensions=0
TexFlags.ARBMultitextureExt=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineExt=1
TexFlags.SecondaryColorExt=1
TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=1
TexFlags.ClipHintExt=0
TexFlags.UsePaletteExt=0
TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=1
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1 --> Compression disabled up (TexCompress=0) but enabled here... Change this by "0".

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=2
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=2
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=4
Effects=2
ForceShaders1x=1 --> Big mistake! Change this by "0". Probably this is the main problem with your water.
PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0



If i change the settings to directx the game crashes, i tried to set it to dx and back to gl to see if that fixes it but it crashed

[aidanw2000]

thank you so much for your effort in helping me, i will try this now and see if it works

UPDATED: omg it still didn't work, i'm doing something wrong i just don't know what

[PA_Willy]

Tell me which is the path of the water mod in your installation, please.

[PA_Willy]

Settings above are only useful if you are running the game in Perfect Mode. OGL.

If you are running in Excellent or DX mode, settings above are irrelevant.

[aidanw2000]

i installed it with the optional mods that came with sas modact, it auto extracted, it had an installer so it is obviously in the correct location as all the other mods are with it and work fine it's in the #SAS and jsgmemods folder

[Toobone]

Your game.log (sturmo.log) needed here.
Ge-force settings must be in GAME SETTINGS pozition too.

[aidanw2000]

the game is on the highest settings which is "excellent" if i go in custom, under landscape there is a "perfect" option which is greyed out.
