Title: resolved:anyone else NOT have the x-ray curser?
Post by: Twinmum on March 01, 2007, 06:15:23 am
I seem to be alone with this problem. For some reason I don't have the x-ray curser for the snow. I don't even have the option in my game options (someone else showed me a screenshot of where it is on their game)
So I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I can live without it - I can turn the snow cover on the ground off if I need to find something, but it's weird that I haven't even got the option.
I even eninstalled Seasons and re-installed, then uninstalled all my eps and tried with just the base game and seasons and then uninstalled the lot and started from scratch. Needless to say, I haven't done much playing in the last 24 hours.

I uderstand that you don't like it without the X-Ray cursor...I wouldn't...sucks.But it's not very handfull after all.I think it's really annoying.But it wouldn't hurt to have it.Try to remove all your CC and hacks.That should do it.

I have season and was messing around in the gamesettings,
When i noticed that there is a option to turn X-ray cursor off and on.
Maybe you just need to turn it on in the game settings ;)

I currently have no CC or hacks in. I took it all out when I reinstalled the whole game. That was my first thought.. to remove all the CC

Twinmum said that she tried to turn that setting on but her problem is that the setting isn't in game at all.

Its likely your graphics card doesn't support that option

I agree with Kim...Are the fish in your fish tank showing up? How about the pond? The invisy fish if they are not showing in the tank its your graphics card. i had that with my old one.

my graphics card...
rom the Display page-
Device
Name: NVIDA GeForce FX 5700LE
Chip Type: GeForce FX 5700LE
DAC Type: Itergrater RAMDAC
Aprox. Total Memory: 256.0MB
Current Display Mode: 1024 x 768 (32bit)(60Hz)

I can understand things like fish not showing up due to the graphics card, but I find this a little hard to imagine as being the same problem... fish and the water are two different things and the graphics card has to be able to 'see' something that is actually behind the other. But this is a control on the options panel that is just not there - see pics (my game is the pic with snow, the other pic is someone elses game)
