I don't get this one either.  Don't suppose you are using an ATI card by any chance?  PhReAk seems to be getting something similar to this as well.

Do me a favor and run in a different color depth (in the game).  If you are running in 16bit now try 32bit, 32bit->16bit.  Also, what color depth is your desktop?  I don't expect it to work any different but it would help to rule some things out.

Desktop + Game in 32bit = White Squares
Desktop 32bit, Game 16bit = White Squares
Desktop 16Bit, Game 16bit = .. guess?
Desktop 16bit, Game 32bit = Fourth time in a row...

You could use the internal build and not run it in OpenGL. :)

That is pretty much what the nebula's look like for me with the latest public build. I usually can barely see my HUD. I am running it under DirectX.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

what's up with those horrible pixels in that OGL nebula screenshot phreak? Does OpenGL not rescale with bilinear filtering?

the poof has a 256x256 tex and its taking up the entire screen, not to mention the lighting is making it worse

still, it should be blurry as hell then but not pixelated. At least it would be like that in D3D.

You just answered yourself. :nod: Whereas D3D is prone to blurring textures of insufficient resolution, OGL occasionally pixelates them instead. I forget which instances trigger one or the other.

I have this annoying problem in OGL where planets, explosions, and trails all have the black edges around them. :blah:

I'll post screenies when I get home. But they usually show as a triangle of the lower left half, and do it for everything from explosions to little particles.  This is in all 3 of Bob's newest environment builds tho, so that may be the problem? GF2 MX here.
