Enable post-process effects
Wrath of m0o
Can someone explain this to me.

Basically this toggles the glow/bloom HDR-like effect that GW likes. If you go to the tombs, mess around with this setting when you get to the altar in the HoH (or observer mode).

Makes the game look real nice... The button should be called "Make My Guild Wars Look Nice" On/Off.

For me it makes the game too bright and glarey, never have it turned on.

I have it off all the time, its too bright and bothers my eyes.
David Lionmaster
Yeah, i dont really like it. It makes the game seem so blurry. I keep it off all the time.
Zaxan Razor
Maybe its there to buff up the image quality on lower spec cards?

No, postprocessing is a set of high-level shader and lighting effects specifically geared for higer end systems. If you turn it on and it looks worse, then your card is most likely having a problem either understanding the instructions or it gets them, it just canna do it keptin. (2 points for who knows that reference...)
My X600XT is the slowest card I've seen run postprocess effects properly. I THINK my wife's old 6200 could as well, but don't quote me on that...

I know that post process on an LCD screen can sometimes make it look a little brighter than its supposed to. But only if the monitor isn't calibrated.

-- I dont see a difference with post-process effects, and im on a Radeon x1600 (so i know the card supports whatever)

Yea, x850 Pro here..so it can definately support anything..
If i were to leave it on, the game looks kinda blurry, and id have to turn the brightness down on my monitor..but then id have to turn it up whenever i close guildwars.
Without it on the game looks much crisper and doesn't bug me.

the nVidia 6200 is a Low End card, when I used one (for about 1 day) I couldnt get more than about 12 FPS from it, on Low settings :\

^^ Try change your Gamma?
Zaxan Razor
I play Guild Wars windowed, so i can mess around with TS and msn and so forth, so i have the monitor gamma on a level that lets me see everything else normally 
Josh
^^ Same, lol.

Are not those post process effects responsible for the absolutely beautiful reflections on say the floor of Glint's Lair? Oh yeah, you better beleive I have those on. I don't seem to have any issues with the brightness though on a 900:1 contrast ratio monitor.
I don't think I've ever turned those effects off, I always turn everything all the way up unless the performance becomes too low. So far on the X1800 XL this hasn't been an issue though.

I also play GW windowed because mainly when i maximize the game on my screen, i think its to big. The HUD just gets so big, or to small to where i can see most of my backround. So I prefer Windowed mode. Also because i do other things aswell.
I run a NVidia 7800 GTX, and a 21 inch flat/widescreen monitor, so i guess its big enough as is in windowed mode.
As for the effect. Its fun to have the extra shine and shadows.

I own the AGP version from Chaintech, factory OverClocked. IT gave me 30fps constant. And 18fps in cities with a ton of toons on screen.
Zaxan Razor
No i get those dragons lair reflections with it on, i have checked most areas of beauty, and the post processing adds nothing but blur and too much brightness.
Josh
^^ Meaning your card can't support/handle it...
Zaxan Razor
Argh i typed that all wrong :P
I meant i get the reflections and cool effects withOUT them on :P oops :P
Btw, the x850 Pro is as AWESOME card, and can easily handle much more complex games on full settings :P

Yeah, thats why i posted this, because i thought it looked better off.
Im running a Nvidia G4 fx5900 ultra 256 mb
It looks better to me off, but now that i read this thread and toggled it on and off at TOA - look at the flames on the statue of Baltazar
Effects look better with it on, but overall the game looks better with it off.
Do i just need to tweak this some more, my card should be able to handle it, i paid 500 bucks for it o_0

Wow I use a geforce ti4600 agp with post processing and everything up to max and it doesn't bog my game down a bit.
