Only nvidia cards of 8 series or below can use bumpmapping in repcom xD

Well most newer ones can still use bumpmapping even though its not displayed correctly.

[Penguin]

Nope.

460 can't.
480 can't.

I gifted a friend the game on steam, he has a 285, also could not run it.

[Gratze]

Awesome. The Closed beta players are able to play Caspian Border :D

I have a 470 and bumpmapping on high works fine. They fixed it in one driver version some years ago. Only AMD cards have still this issue.

[Penguin]

Nope. My 480 could not run it on high, neither the 460 i have now.

Medium is fine, but high just crashes.

Using latest drivers.

[Vash]

Nope.

Well it runs fine for me, lol. Your "nope" is not changing it.

Perhaps it has a different reason which I didn't figure out yet.

[Penguin]

Generally nvidia cards past series 8 don't run it or have poor renderings.

You seem to have a special card, congratulations, only a few can actually do it.

Actually, don't you use windowed mode? That could be it.

Works fine with my current 430, will also try it with the 560 which I'm getting soon, but I assume it'll work.

Works in both, window and fullscreen, fine.

EDIT: @ SCORN
You have a GTX 560 Ti, you could try it. :-)

[Penguin]

*facepalm*

Just tried it with bumpmapping, works fine >.>

Seriously 1 month ago it would have crashed and I haven't even updated drivers since then

*hangs head*

[Vash]

I told you so.... lol.

[Penguin]

*bows to the master*

Anyway back to topic, Grace do you have another link for the pre-load that one asks me for a usr:pass.

[Gratze]

I asked Vash if I could upload it to the TX FTP Server, but at first I ask EA if its legal to upload it .

[Gratze]

So I waited now 2 Hours, and the only answer I got was: "The Open Beta is for everyone" ; "It shouldn't be available until tomorrow." and "All I could say is it shouldn't be up until tomorrow." .
Srsly this was just a waste of time. In this support are just idiots...

So i won't upload it, because I still don't know if its legal or not..
But you could check the torrent link on the Website. Everyone writes that the download is really fast.
