The most zoomed in graphics are a huge issue in CK3

[colonial_administrator]

Something has to be done. The most zoomed in level of the game takes away all the things that made the zoomed-out look good. Huge dark and bad colour scheme to look at.

Nice looking zoom out look (it's brighter via a mod to help the appearance more)

Zoom in, this is not a good side of ck3. All the drawings of mountains and waves gone. That water is dark, it looks like water paint glow on the shore line. With and without mods, i can't seem to do anything to make zoomed-in state look bearable.

that's not the closest zoom, though, is it?

Technically it can go closer to show county borders but its the start of the closest zoomed in stage

well zoom in more or zoom out more. i don't doesn't hover between the zoom levels much

On very high graphics, it looks like 3/10 in zoomed in stage

however, maximum zoomed in looks a bit alright if max graphics. it's not the graphic setting to blame though. the game should've ditched the country overlay and show the terrain like it does when ultra zoomed in. like either keep the drawings or go straight to showing the terrain. in between zoomed out and county view is a mobile graphic art style disaster

the both look fine to me. don't worry about the transition, i say.

I've just found some mods (if using max graphics) that save the game a bit. I always was right about vanilla abandoning the drawings did a huge toll on the flat colour country appearance.

i see what you mean but i like what they've done with the map

It's not a "huge issue" just because you, personally, don't like it.

Game looks fine.

Also, as you found out, you can use mods to adjust the looks to your personal taste, so I also don't see how "something has to be done" (except for you to install more mods, maybe ).

To be honest I don't understand what the OP is talking about. Everything seems perfectly fine to me.

it's the moment it transitions from the mid zoom to the closest one.

I see now... Thanks for clarifying. Such a minor issue, i. m. o....
