so i think shaders looks the best? am i right? but what is the difference in direct and copy? if i run direct, my offset is like 10,000. if i run copy, it runs fine

So run copy...

honestly don't know the difference, JLV explained it though in some random thread. Try searching on google or something might find it. (I am on my phone)

Direct renders directly into the texture. Copy renders into the framebuffer then copies to the texture. Copy also limits the ground tex res to 256x256, which is the reason most people think it's faster. (Also proving that most people can't see the difference between 1024x1024 vs 256x256.)
