Title: Reflection of my Desktop
Post by: sharkienaz on July 24, 2010, 07:25:47 pm: I'm running the game on my Mac and all reflective surfaces in the game are reflecting my desktop. I can see my Internet Browser and other applications that are open. It really messes with the realism and screws up the appearance of many of the ships. Any suggestions for fixing these problems?

My settings:
Mac OS 10.6.4
Inferno 3.6.12 RC4
-spec
-glow
-env
-mipmap
-missilelighting
-normal
-3dshockwave
-ambient_factor 35
-spec-exp 16.7
-spec_point 0.6
-spec_static 0.9
-spec-tube 1

It's a known bug with a known fix. I don't know what it is, but I imagine someone else will be along shortly.

It sounds neat.

You didn't disable OpenGL. You disabled one bit of functionality that, ideally, shouldn't cause any performance issues. You just gotta try it out, I guess.
