hello people

recently I've redownloaded MISERY and started playing it, but i have a problem, my game doesn't have ambient oclussion, sun rays, dof, etc, it's like it was running in DX9 even if im using the DX11 render type, my graphic card is a sapphire 7850 2gb (tried DX10, still the same)

if anyone could help me it would be awesome thank you

and sorry for my bad english

Each time you try a new batch of graphics settings, try deleting user.ltx first. Be methodical. I haven't had an AMD card in a while, but there are good starting points/tips in the forum. I would start with DX11 HDAO on low and most stuff on low or turned off. If that works smoothly, delete user.ltx again use the same settings and turn no more than 2 things up or on and try again. If you don't delete user.ltx each time sometimes the new settings aren't applied properly.

I tried what you told me but the game looks always the same :/

last night I was playing other game (Dark Souls2) and got tired of it, I closed it and opended CoP, loaded my savegame and bam all options where working, beautiful shadows, sun rays, dof, everything, I was so happy so I played a litte but got killed in a gunfight, I go and load my quicksave and ALL effects where gone, it was so weird, I tried again opening the other game and then this but no success at all, im not sure whats going on

HDAO isnt that for Nvidia? I think Riva I think the one below that, I'm no expert SDAO always works. After deleting the user.ltx, it might be smart to change to static, and leave the game and then pick DX11 and do the same. Honestly though I can pick DX11 or 10 but my game load times takes 6 times longer, so I stick to DX9 Enhanced full dynamic lighting (i think its called), the option just above DX10.

Play around with the settings a bit and if you properly deleted the user.ltx all your configs for keys should be returned to basic.

Avoid using autosaves, use hard saves only.

Already tried, my pc is quite good so yes in dx9 the game load instantly but in dx 11 or 10 its not that long load

I think the problem is not in the user.ltx, or in lowering the effects because the game 1 time applied the effects and looked great, I think it has to do with my software or corrupt installation?

it's really weird, im gonna try to reinstall my drivers maybe that can work

EDIT:reinstalled drivers, still the same ;(

Might sound silly, but when you changed to another light setting be sure to do apply else it just reset. Also go to graphic advanced and see if everything is turned on, in the weird case it isn't.

Else you might have a bad install, or maybe you run a secondary mod that boost graphics that causes problems?
