Title: Texture Issues (Text)
Post by: Night_Sky on April 19, 2014, 08:16:47 pm

Hello.

I just recently got Diaspora: Shattered Armistice and it loaded up and installed fine. I installed the 1.1 patch I found on the forums, and started mission one. The controls appear to work fine, but the texture for the text on the left and right side of the screen, as well as a chunk of the hud appear as a gradient of colors ranging from green to red. Once and awhile it flashes to let me see the text, but other than that, I can't tell what it says.

I attempted to take screenshots using PrintScreen, but upon pasting it into Paint, it just appeared as a black screen. No idea why. Sorry.

Specs:

Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
8 GB Ram (1600MHz)
Intel Core i7 2.4 GHz
Nvidia GT755M
Resolution: 1920x1080

there should be a tga file in the "screenshots" folder where you installed it.
also, please provide a log (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56279.msg1180359.html#msg1180359)

if this is an optimus laptop, make sure that the nvidia card is actually used for the game.

Ah! Thank you sir, I did not check which GPU the game was using. You were correct in your assumption that it was an optimus laptop, and that was my issue.

I set the diaspora EXE to use the Nividia card, and now all is well.

Thanks again.
