Graphics problem - large dust from bullet impact

[colin4444]

I have a graphics problem where the dust from bullets hitting walls and objects is always the same size on my screen. For example, in DoD:S if I shoot at the ground in the distance, the dust that shoots up from the ground looks REALLY huge (because it's the same size on the screen as it would be if I shot the ground right next to me).

Any suggestions?

Sorry, here's a screenshot.

What graphic card do you have and which drivers you installed for it?

 

[colin4444]

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 256 MB driver version 91.28

Don't see any technical issue with the smoke. That is just how it is. Same size upclose as far away though.

If you get up close and fire you are able to see through the smoke easier so maybe it seems smaller.

Well...
1.Uinstall whole game.
2.After that check your computer for viruses with Norton Antivirus 2004.
3.After that check your computer for adwares and spywares with Ad-Aware SE Personal.
4.After that go in "MY COMPUTER",right click on disk C,"properties","TOOLS",
"CHECK NOW",and then in "CHECK DISK OPTIONS" put both:
--->"Automatically fix file system errors"
--->"Scan for attempt recovery of bad sectors"
and then click "START".You will probably need to restart your computer so
click yes.After computer is restarted,disk checking will start automatically.
5.After disk checking is complete,again go in "MY COMPUTER",disk C,right click
on it,"properties","TOOLS","DEFRAGMENT NOW",then the "Disk Defragmenter"
will turn ON.Then again click on "DEFRAGMENT",(which must be right of "ANALYZE").
6.Right click on desktop,"properties","settings",and then put on 32-bit color
and resolution 1024x768.After that click "APPLY" and then go on "APPEARANCE","EFFECTS" and then put like here on picture--->

After you have done that,click on "OK","APPLY" then again "OK".
7.Right click on "MY COMPUTER","PROPERTIES","ADVANCED",and then click on
first button "SETTINGS".I mean on this --->

After that put on "Adjust for best appearance".After that click "APPLY","OK"
then again "OK".
8.After that right click on desktop,"properties","Settings","Advanced",and you
should get something like this--->

There you can find options for your graphic card so PUT EVERYTHING ON
BEST QUALITY!!!
For example I have OpenGL and Direct3D.
OpenGL--->

Direct3D--->

But don't pay attention on my options for graphic.I didn't put everything on
best quality because my graphic card has 64 MB.But you put EVERYTHING on
best quality because you have 256 MB in your graphic card!!

I appreciate your suggestions, but that seems like quite a bit of work for a fairly minor issue. I already have my settings all the way up, and I don't really want to re-install or defragment. Maybe I'll just have to live with it.

I have the same issue, and it only happens in DoD:S.
I think it's just a bug in DoD, but I don't know how many other people get it so I can't be sure on that.

just press f4 and send the error to valve

You won't live with that!! Grrrr!!! LoL
You can fix it if you do exactly I said.And don't worry...nothing won't happen
to your computer if you do everything I said.And don't send any error messages to valve because I sent them a lot to Valve and nothing...they
didn't respond.It's just waste of time so do exactly I said.Of course.Start from
number 1.
