Hahaha.. Oh man.
ST is so sexist about all the OTHER aspects of the game, why not lensflares? Makes perfect sense to me that they feel girls should be all sparkly all the time. XD
They certainly should, Maridia.
dumb, dumb, dumb. this thread is dumb. it is sooo obviously the fact that you have different pc's and different gfx cards and different settings is causing that to happen. omg it only happens to guys. your one example has shown us the light. 1 out of 10,000....

If it's dumb, then why'd you feel the need to comment in it? Or do you feel compelled to parlay a failing wit into what is otherwise a minor and somewhat amusing thread?On 2007-01-28 10:43, SuperRygar wrote:

Please comport yourself with better compunction next time. People will appreciate that. Kthxbai.
Hey, don't the the fact that you lack a sense of humour out on everyone else.On 2007-01-28 10:43, SuperRygar wrote:

Okay, maybe I should make this clear.On 2007-01-27 19:55, StratixEVO wrote:
OK, have to get this out...
Better computer does not mean better graphics! Lol, I know it SHOULD but it doesn't. Different cards support different types of software/effects like antialiasing or particle effects. One card could be set to decide what settings to use, while the other could be letting the program decide. Thats just one example, the list goes on and on... Hell, Windows alone could double the possibilities!
I would recommend checking the card settings for graphics control, try updating drivers etc. But its definately a computer thing, both my male and female char have flare on 360. Can you log onto your spouse's char from your computer and try it? (Not sure how the verification works for the PC)
For starters, I put the thread up because I genuinely wanted to know whether it was the result of the systems or if it was (as I suspected) "gender functions", similar to the variances in animations.
That being said, I'm quite aware that newer, faster does not always equal greater. My wife's using a computer that I hand-built a year ago as a graphics workstation for her job. I, OTOH, am using a four-year-old Dell laptop upon which I'm somewhat surprised still falls within the specs for the game, even though I've had to dial down the settings to the lowest.
In the end, it really doesn't matter whether it's just a graphics issue or whether ST feels only girl charas look purtyer with lensflares, it's just one of those oddball questions that came up prior to the oddball question thread.
I noticed when I turn on "compressed textures", the lens flare ceases to exist.
If you have your detail level effects set to medium, you will see the lens flare all the time wherever they are supposed to show up. If you have it set to high, it will also show up... until you switch planets.
As an example, if you start up the game and are already on Moatoob, then the lens flare will appear in Moatoob stages where appropriate. If you switch to Parum, the Colony or Neudaiz, the lens flare will no longer show for the rest of the time you're logged in.
How does Parn know that? >.>
