Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 Im having problem whenever trying to run the game it loads up fine and i can use every funcion and even play the game, but the screen is covered with graphical glitches... dont know how to describe them, but they are covering the whole screen making it very hard to see my car and everything else...

You can also email it to me, using address from my profile, thanks. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Dec 21, 2007, 9:53 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Did you make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date? It might be worth changing from OpenGL to DirectX rendering. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Dec 21, 2007, 10:54 pm

Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 My drivers are up to date, first thing I did... How do I change from OpenGL to DirectX? In the lobby? Since I only have the option to change to D3D... Posted Dec 21, 2007, 10:57 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 D3D is DirectX, sorry. Yeah, the options button in the lobby. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Dec 21, 2007, 11:02 pm

Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 Worked much better... still some minor problems with the buttons blinking, but thats not really an issue... I can play now... thx Posted Dec 21, 2007, 11:07 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Do other 3D applications work ok? Have you tried some sort of benchmark tool to test your graphics card (I remember http://www.futuremark.com was one with free versions). There's also specific tools to test for artifacts you could look for to test your card with. I don't know the exact steps for doing it in vista but in XP there's an hardware acceleration slider for some hardware components that occasionally helps with this kind of weird problems (on xp it's under display properties - settings tab -advanced - troubleshoot tab) ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Dec 21, 2007, 11:10 pm

Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 Thx, will try that.. Other applications work fine. Posted Dec 21, 2007, 11:20 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Mike, it's definitely nothing related to Java, the game client is in C++ not Java. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Dec 22, 2007, 8:06 pm

Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 Eh ok, everything is not dandy in DirectX either... No artifacts, but the cars are missing their textures and the ground is getting some sort of wierd mud-looking texture instead of the normal one... But, atleast I can play now Posted Dec 23, 2007, 9:11 am

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 That's driver related, for sure. Maybe we will find a trick to fix that someday. I'm moving this bug report into the windows section, as it seems more related than the general bugs section. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Dec 23, 2007, 9:20 am

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 I've been testing Darkwind on my windows 2000 machine, with hand tweaked ATI drivers. (See other post in this section for further info). I'm experiencing the same glitches than Vainviper; and in D3D, vehicles are missing the textures, has he reported. So, we can admit, it can be reproduced. I had to reinstall DirectX 9 today on this machine for some reason, so I will check if my other games that were running fine before have been affected too. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Dec 23, 2007, 8:35 pm

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 A solution I posted in an other topic: Quote: Here is a solution to this problem: Quit client with graphics set in Open GL. Edit Drive:\darkwind directory\darkwind\client\prefs.cs And change these line from "0" to "1": $pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1"; $pref::TS::UseTriangles = "1"; Save file. Delete the "prefs.cs.dso". Relaunch client, enjoy!  Beware, switching to D3D should reset the values and you will need to edit them again. ALWAYS set OpenGL first in display options, quit, edit and relaunch. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Dec 28, 2007, 8:12 am

Vainviper The Mad Slaves Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 7 Joined: Dec 21, 2007 It works ... ViKKing, i dont know how you're doing it... but dont matter, just keep doing that magic.... Thx Posted Dec 30, 2007, 4:04 pm

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Since it is integrated into the client as clickable options, it is really easier to fix. I've been told many glitches were fixed in latest drivers release, either from ATI (8.10) or Nvidia (don't know the version number, sorry); so if anyone feel bold enough to spend time checking this, feedback would be welcome. I personally don't change drivers anymore once they are working with games I kids play. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 26, 2008, 12:03 pm

Crix Makin Knights Of Cydonia Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 111 Joined: May 22, 2008 I've just experienced this one myself after upgrading my graphics drivers to a newer set. EDIT: Appears i have a similar card to VainViper. I've tried D3D mode, it just crashes, so I'm stuck with OpenGL. viKKing said: A solution I posted in an other topic: Quote: Here is a solution to this problem: Quit client with graphics set in Open GL.
