Title: Uh....... (really wierd problem_
Post by: Kosh on August 23, 2004, 01:10:19 am

Ok, now that I have been home, I decided to put the T-20040802 on my desktop (it had previously been working just fine on my laptop). On D3D it CTD's 2 or 3 seconds after the "Freespace SCP" loading screen comes up. On OGL, it works, but I get something that looks like this:

Most likely the crash from playing movies.  It should be fixed in the 20040822 build if you want to try that one.  Otherwise just use the -dnoshowvid command line option.

I assume that's where a planet is supposed to be.  If it's a TGA planet you need to make sure and use -jpgtga.  If it's DDS then it may be a bug in the code and if that's the case then it should be fixed in the 20040822 build.

There was no planet. It's not the only place it will show. Sometimes when a beam is power up, or whenever there is an explosion. It has nothing to do with those options (which are checked, btw).

You were right about the D3D problem, but now the image looks even worse (this picture was in D3D mode):

Now we not only have appearent graphics corruption, but also the ship is invisible.

Looks kinda like what was happening to me with a previous build.  But, this one's clean for me.  Radeon Mobilty(7000) here, driver version 6.14.10.6343.  It's a Gateway specific driver as ATI says not to use the Cats with Mobility products.

Just started happerning. I dug up my old 3.5.5 build and it worked just fine.

Yes, the driver is installed and Directx 9 is installed. DX9 has been installed on that system for a while.
