Lightsaber glow blocky?

[Ashe]

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a side efect, but I've tried this on all AA/AnIso settings, and it seems to keep happening if I've got the framebuffer effects set to on.

 

When I ignite a lightsaber (anybodys,) the glow that surrounds it looks blocky and polygon-like, with radiating lines where the blocks meet (sort oflike a starburst effect.) This, I would assume, happens with all sabres, but the effect is most noticeable with the silver, cyan and viridian blades (ie. the lightest, whitest ones.)

 

Is this a graphics glitch? A graphics side efect? Or could it be my gamma/monitor settings?

got to the NVIDIA display options and into "Performance & Quality Settings" then click on "image settings" and change that to at-least "Quality"

 

anything below that will mess up the lightsabers.

No specific setting for "image settings" but there's one option I've swapped from "quality" to "high quality." I'll try that and see what happens.

Hmm... I remember having something like this in KotOR 1. When I went do Dantooine, the lightsaber would get all blocky and also on Manaan and Korriban, the footlockers came in 3 different varietes : green, yellow and red. I only had these problems when using Windows 2000 on my FX 5200. When I installed Windows XP PRO w/ SP2, I didn't have the problem anymore. Forgive me if I've twiddled on but that's just my 2 cents
