hocus4957 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I keep seeing people mentioning that they see dolphins and other stuff, bud sadly, I have not seen anything new in roughly 30 games since the update. Is there a certain graphics setting I need to change? I play on an older PC, so it may not even be possible for me to tweak my settings too much. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Wolfswetpaws Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) They're not as easy to see, compared to the birds and randomly appearing neutral airplanes, I think.

ZaCLoNe Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I wonder if it is an exaggerated time of no action. Be interesting to see if ppl might notice if it’s X minutes or something. Or maybe open water vs hanging by islands or have to stay constantly moving at max or 1/2 speed. Who knows, I don’t. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewbassg Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) If one is curious enough could load a reply and look around. And play with the graphic settings to see if makes a difference 🙂 Edited August 17, 2023 by Andrewbassg Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, look at the “animate small objects” setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota_Red Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hmm, wonder how long till we can get "special ops" dolphins with different explosives strapped to their heads to ram enemy ships with....of course there will be dubloons required, but I'm sure the cost will be reasonable.

There is already a Commander that is a Dolphin in the game. The Commander is from an old event, so only players from a certain time-frame would've been able to welcome them to their port?

Edited to add: I wonder if playing a Submarine might help? They're very easy to see, almost to the point of "okay, I get it already". I honestly think with subs the added sealife is even worse, IMO there's just way too much of it. Might even have to look into turning it off/down as I think it's a bit too over the top.

Perhaps I need to adjust my graphics settings? I haven't seen 'em in a while. Maybe I accidentally turned-off the switch that allows them to be seen.

clammboy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Saw dolphins on Chaosmachine stream this morning before work but I have seen none yet in my games. Edited August 18, 2023 by clammboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FltCaptAlan Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I ran a test on Two Brothers, they were present, along with several school of fish under the ship, but they seemed to have disappeared after a few minutes, probably about the time action would usually get started and the servers would need to devote all their hamsters to RNGesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDuckman Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 WeeGee, where my Combat Dolphins?? I mean, how many years now? All you have to do is take an airplane squadron, replace the model of a plane with the model of a dolphin with frickin' laser beams .. er .. torpedus, and allow it to fly at negative altitude. Bungo!

CriMiNaL Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I guess the big question is, if I see them, can I shoot and kill them, will I get xp from it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hocus4957 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Okay, so I had my first dolphin sighting today. No wonder I missed it. It was so tiny (That's what she said)...😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lert Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I've seen them, they were very tiny as they would be compared to a warship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verblonde Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I got some dolphins in Ranked earlier; I was tempted to switch on my hydro (=active sonar) to see if the little finny buggers are programed to react, but then I would have had to explain to my team-mates that I wasn't actually one of those idiots who switches on hydro in spawn...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get some error message or something? Is it about the file size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
