Title: [solved] flickering textures on damaged ships/debris
Post by: Klaustrophobia on September 18, 2011, 10:25:59 pm

Ships or debris that are damaged and are doing the blue arc thing have textures that are flickering white, or sometimes an odd pixely-looking artifact.  The flicker will be over a flat "panel" of the ship/debris where the arc would be.  Sometimes the arc shows up overtop of the white and sometimes not.  I reinstalled the MVPs thinking it might be a missing texture or something, but no luck.  using 3.6.12 final.  also noted this issue on antipodes 8.  all AA and AF is disabled in my graphics drivers (HD 6950).  any ideas?  i will post a log if requested, but as it's a graphics issue, i didn't think it would help.

nothing?  this is REALLY annoying.  i just started playing again after almost a year, and honestly this is about to make me give it up again.  nothing changed in my FSO setup since before this started happening, and it occurs on all builds i have tried.  this leads me to believe graphics card/driver issues.  is anyone using catalyst 11.8 that can tell me if this happens to them?  i turned off pretty much everything in CCC but the effect remains.  i did a complete reinstall of FS2 and FSO but no joy.  my last idea is to wait until amd releases a new catalyst and hope that fixes it.

There's a link to a shader fix pack in the FSO FAQ (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.msg1180356#msg1180356) that is supposed to fix this.

Sounds like the driver issue I was having.

rscaper's post fixed it.  i'm a little embarrassed i didn't find that on my own.
