Why can't i select texture detail to maximum?

[zoom]

In the advanced gfx options, i can't select texture detail to maximum and anistropic filtering to 16.

if i set either to maximum, it just reverts back to minimum.

any suggestions?

specs:
radeon 9800 pro, cats 5.7

Use HIGH. I believe there was a single difference we knew of from going from HIGH to MAXIMUM but didn't want to merge the two in the event there was something else we were not seeing.

MAXIMUM was an old Rowan experiment and not fully completed I believe.
One thing it does is fip or mirror all the terrain textures.
Cities then become mapped wrong.
Use HIGH.
