If you can, get a new GFX card.  Get an AGP or PCI-E card if your compy has one of these expansion slots, or get a plain PCI if it doesn't.  Halfway decent cards with 256 MB of memory onboard aren't too expensive, and 128 MB cards are kinda cheap, depending on what you get.

Hades has a notebook. I doubt you can get something like that for that.

Doubtful, true... what model notebook is it?  Sometimes you can increase the memory that the GFX card gets in the BIOS (AGP aperture size or similar.. look for a setting that has the same memory displayed as your GFX vid memory, and change it to max.)

It's a Compaq Presario C302NR.

Yeah... hate to break it to you, but Compaqs have THE ****tiest onboard graphics cards.

[Hellstryker]

Nope that would be my Acer

Hades, increase your shared video memory to 128 MB, if you can.  (ie, if you have 512 MB or more of system memory, you should be able to handle that.  Your computer specs are here:

BTW, you can get up to 2 GB of system memory on that thing... I recently did that for my dad's laptop, cost about $140 for two 1GB DDR chips.

I have noticed that some beams go through it, can some one else look into this?

You got ripped off, mate.

Hmm, as far as I've been able to tell, the lucifer has solid collision detection. I do pretty extensive collision testing on my stuff, and I never had anything go through the hull. Has this happened with any other ships? Can you fly or shoot through the spots where the beam enters through?

[Hades]

It doesn't happen to any other ships and I will check about the latter later when im able to move my fingers sll the way (Idk why but sometimes when I wake up they do that.)

[Cobra]

I actually saw something similar happen yesterday while I was playing Homesick. The beam that was fired at the Custodian went through the ship for a few seconds.

[Hellstryker]

I've had the same thing happen with atens except its strange, fire doesnt go through it but it hits the ship underneath the visible texture 

[colecampbell666]

From what I've heard the Aten is broken.

[Cobra]

"From what you've heard?"

We all know it's broken.

[Vasudan Admiral]

The aten was done with the 3ds max POF exporter, which has known collision detection issues. The same issues are present on the sobek.

However the lucifer used PCS 1, which no longer has any such issues. Cobra, was the Custodian a lucifer, or something else? If something else it could indicate a new bug in the code.

[Cobra]

The Custodian in Homesick was a Deimos.

[Hellstryker]

LOL, who would name a lucifer Custodian 

[Vasudan Admiral]

I thought not, but just wanted to be totally sure.

As is, the Deimos was done by Bobboau via PCS1 as well, and also has rock solid collision detection. So, this could be a code bug. :\

Oh - one more thing, did the beam only go through it when the ship was about to die? I ask because there's a feature where if a beam delivers a killing blow (or something along those lines), it then 'punches through' the ship.

You even have a Firefox search engine available. Very handy page at least for non-English speakers.
