Sturmpanzer -> Is it just me or.... (busy graphics) (10/2/2004 3:31:31 AM)

Ok I own WAY too many computer wargames and I finally broke down and paid too much for KP. (had been looking for the price to come down and it isnt!) On starting it up I noticed the ingame graphics are WAY too busy. It actually gives me eye strain looking at the game. I have tried all different resolutions @ 75Hz and up. Is it just me? As an example off the top of my head I dont remember TOAW or West Front or (insert any other turn based wargame I can think of here) ever causing me a problem. I hate to say it but I bought squad assault and felt a little ripped off. I dropped $40 for this title and the gameplay and depth seems great(still reading manual) but something seems overdone about the graphics that hurts my eyes. Is this just me? Perhaps its all the details, and the different unit insignias but it is bothering me. The screenshots always bothered me a bit, but for some reason I didnt think it could be as cluttered as it looked. I play board wargames from ASL to Paths of Glory (etc.) and no matter how much stuff is cluttered on the board, or HUGE TOAW scenarios on computer etc., I can always easily discern what is what and who is who without all the background noise distracting my eyes. I dont see any obvious posts about this and since I last was checked with 20/20 vision, perhaps I am losing it!! Dont get me wrong, everything esle seems awesome I just wonder if anyone else thinks this? I havent tried 640x480 but I dont see any recommended resolutions (unless it forces one) in the manuals. In particular I am talking about the map, not all the other data tables/etc. Stormy ps: It kind of reminds me of the hard to see squads in jungles/woods in SPWAW kind of eye strain. Of course you can see a men# but it still is "messy".
