Making Freelancer look.. normal? - MB52 - 01-03-2012
Ok so, I managed to get a new laptop, and it is one actually designed for games. I actually have a graphics card, and stats high enough to run Skyrim on max settings but... I run freelancer and it looks... like garbage... especially compared to my old laptop...
Anyone know whats going on? Normally I never had to do any adjustments... right now freelancer looks overly bright and grainy..

Shift F12 turns off bloom. It's pain for my eyes.

Actually, that helps alot, thanks!
It also seems better now that I turned on widescreen...... still a little bright though, so I had to turn the gamma way down to 0...

Also try forcing Anisotropic filtering and antialias in your graph card control panel (if you haven't done that alredy)

or install any graphics mode.

You using the standard resolutions or a custom one for freelancer?
If the games not running at the right resolution then it can cause it to look grainy since it stretches:P

New technology seems to do funny things with Freelancer.
As suggested above,
1) Make sure you're running the game at your native resolution.
2) Crank the graphics settings (directly via the card, not through the game) up to eleven. The focus is on texture quality and antialiasing to get more crisp and detailed models.
Another option with bloom is to invert it. Instead of making the bright areas brighter, it makes the dark areas darker. Press Shift + F9 to toggle bloom modes. It does dull certain colours, but it gives it a more realistic feel.
