Hello, I've currently rediscovered Freespace 2 (much to my joy, what an addicting game). But I've installed the Freespace 2 Open upgrade and now I am encountering problems with the ships and their details. It seems that 3/4 of the Ships and objects are "striped" (picture illustrated below) and I can't figure out how to fix this. Here is my system specs;
Windows XP2 SP3
GeForce FX5500 AGP Video Card (128MB on board) w/Updated OpenGL and Drivers
3.0gHZ Processor w/1GIG RAM (DDR444)
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-6/743628/ShipDetails.gif)
As you can see, this is what most of the ships look like! How can I resolve this so I can fully enjoy this wonderful game again. Is there something I need to "tweak" in order to get the full experience again?

Many people have had good results with this build (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50258.0.html).

Ok, I've extracted the build and have the launcher point to it. But the ships are still "striped". How do you shut off the MediaVps? I'm quite n00b (duh) at this so you'll have to bear with me. I rarely play any games, but I keep coming back to this game. I was overjoyed to find out the graphics and updates that were available even though the game has been long gone on the retail market.
So, in translation, "Disabling MediaVps for Dummies" in a Step-by-step process.
As for checking other threads, woops. I tried all sorts of the search queries and neither considered just using "White and Black". Maybe the search engine query should be upgraded.

If you have the latest graphics drivers, try older sets.

1. Open the Launcher.
2. Select the MOD tab.
3. Click No MOD.
4. Click Apply.

Assuming that he has the mediaVP's in a separate folder...

Did you search "zebra strips"? I know there is a thread named "how to fix the zebra strips of doom glitch" or something vaguely like that somewhere.

Ah, that would help. Zebra Stripes is what they are! Maybe is some 80's rendering engine that is causing this! :D
