I've always noticed the curved edges option in Renegade under performance, and it has always bothered me how it's shaded. From when I had a crappy system, it was shaded and I knew that that was because my system sucked, but now I bought a new one a half a year ago and to this day it is still shaded. See the picture below:

What do I do to get that selected? I've heard that a few have used something to make it avaliable.

It's only available with a certain Radeon video card. It's called NPatch subdivision leveling - it subdivides the polygons it's applied to, while keeping their UV mapping intact.

In other words, if NPatch is applied to a surface, anyone with that specific Radeon card will see rounder surfaces on the objects with NPatch checked on in the W3D mesh options.

If you want to use it, and you've got a recent ATI Radeon card, make sure that "TRUFORM" is set to 'Application Preference.'

Does it work with all the latest radeon series cards? I've got a 9200 SE, and it works. Never seen any difference in the game though but thanx for that info.

Only Radeon cards? man that sucks. I have a Geforce FX 5600 256mb. Well that's one graphical option I don't qualify for Crying or Very Sad

Thanks for telling me though.

Yeah, I've got it all enabled in Adv. Properties and in Renegade, but I can't say I've noticed much of a difference.
I should do some screenshot comparisons but I can't be arsed

I'd like to see some comparison screenshots if you can find the time.

The Chem Warrior chemical tanks have it enabled. Try comparing it on them.

Unfortunately, this can't be checked because the chemical warriors don't use the packs in neither single or multiplayer.

Do you know of anything else it's enabled on?
