First, I want to thank everyone who advised me to solo at lvl 58 the Werewolves in Plane of Nightmare. Charming them is great, and I have been getting awsome exp plus in 45 minutes i got 2 raw Diamonds and 1 Blue Diamond.
**BUT- There seems to be a graphics issue here. When I am a distance from the Werewolf camp the trees in the distance and the Werewolves look distorted/Very Grainy, sort of like the Old Atari Days.
But when I am in zones like POk or East Commons, this issue does not exits. I adjusted the Clip Plane but it did not help. My Clip Plan was already at 100%. My Gamma only made it lighter in the zone.
What else could this be?

Try disabling "Level of Detail" in the Display tab of the Options window, or adjusting the LOD Bias slider? That adjusts the level of detail used by models based on how far away they are (no reason to use a large number bunch of polygons to represent something that is far enough away that it'll only take up a few pixels).

LOD was introduced with Luclin if I remember right, so zones that predate Luclin might not support that feature in the first place.

now if you didn't already know, how would you know what LOD is?

there's a lot of **** on the video options I haven't got any clue what it is. there a listing of some sort that I can reference if I want to change some settings?

Same question here. I'm scared to mess with something when I don't know what the heck it's going to do.

If you re read the first sentence of his post you and use a made up abbreviation you will see that Level of Display is being abbreviated to LOD.

Agreed, I cut mine off and it helps a lot. Of course I cut mine off a long time ago cause I raid a lot and to much graphics can and will make you lag when you have a lot of casters. I used to crash just while we were buffing.

aye

But the point was I don't know what all the rest of the options do. Some I may have changed if someone told me to look at it. But it would be nice to have a chart that said 'this will do the following' for all the options.

When it comes to the video on Eq its always trial and error, and they never have seemed to have a very good help file when it comes to troubleshooting your display.
