Title: Video trouble
Post by: Logrus on February 06, 2007, 04:00:27 am: Switched videocard from X700pro to 7600GT AGP and got following problems:
1. Cannot see .avi cutscenes ingame (but can hear them)
2. Those beautiful reflections on ship hulls vanish. At thirs they are visible in Database, but when I try loading any mission they disappear. (Not show in database afterwards either).
Tried 3.6.9 release, 91.47 and 93.71 drivers.

Link to older thread with a bit similar issues...

As for missing reflections -- I found, that it happens only in nebula missions.

.ogg cutscenes should fix your problems.

That is explained by what I wrote, anything else is news since you are contradicting your previous statement.

If you are using D3D then that is your problem for other missions. Otherwise you need to post a screenshot of the problem so that we can try and figure out what's going on.
