Help Me Please, Graphic Problem

[metmurder]

Well, this is my situation, I bought the game, everything was allright, when I played a game the graphics looked a little bad, I was disappointed because I saw the PC screenshots on internet and it looked really well, and I sayed, well its my video card or something, I will never see that graphics, but then, suddenly, when I wished to play the game the graphics looked like the screenshots on internet, real quality graphics, I was so happy, I thought the quality graphics will keep forever, but then, when I turn on my computer to play the graphics looked bad, just like the beginning, and now I know my PC is able to run the game with quality graphics cause I saw them, but I dont know how, do anybody know what is going on?

I will really appreciate your help.

Here is my PC situation:

HP
Centrino processor
Ati Radeon 9200
512 MB RAM
40 GB Hard Drive
DirectX 9.0c
Windows XP Professional

Thank you!


Sorry for my horrible english

Alright, right click anywhere on your desktop (aside from the start menu bar or icons) and left click properties.

Click the Settings Tab
Click Advanced Button

A new window should popup with lots of tabs. Click 3D.

You'll see "3D Settings for:" Direct 3D in circle. If it isn't like that already, click Direct 3D.
Check the "Use Custom Settings" checkbox and Click the "custom" button under that.
Both the Application Preference boxes in front of "Anti-Aliasing" and "Atmospheric Filtering" should be checked.
My guess is that to see quality graphics, you'll need to uncheck the box across from "Atmospheric Filtering" and shift the tab over to 4X or something like that (the higher the number, the better the graphics)

This WILL cost you in framerate though. But experiment for a bit to see which settings give you a good balance between quality graphics and quality performance.

Hope that helps
