Why is the water so murky and brown?

[KozMic]

could someone please tell me why in the hell is the water so horrible looking on aztec, ive switched to reflect all and reflect world but nothing,

its just that the water is clear (with no reflections) when up close but then in the distance theres like a brown mist which looks terrible.

i know my graphics card isnt the best in the world but i know it can handle reflections as it does the job on hl2 (geforce fx5200) oh yeah i didnt mention i was talkin about CS:S

my specs are (if they help)

amd athlon xp3000+ 2.7ghz
512mb ram
nvidia 128mb geforce fx5200
120gb hd
all the latest drivers!

cheers for the help in advance :cheers:

because the fx series don't run dx9 well at all, so your card is running in dx8 mode, you can force dx9 but your fps will go through the floor

i had a feeling it was that (honest )

the only reason i posted is because it works fines on half life 2, always running above 30fps (reflect world)

so why is it different for counter strike?

thanks for the quick reply anyway

Thats the way the Aztec water is supposed to look. Ugly and brown. Don't worry about it.

I always wondered about that myself, I thought something was wrong with my game or settings or something. HL2 water looks fine, but aztec water looks crappy.
