Title: Ships invisible
Post by: Govenator on June 19, 2017, 12:44:06 am

Hi Guys,

Its been a while but I am trying to get back on.  I have blue planet running but the capital ships are invisible, or see through.  Sometimes all I can see is their exhaust.  My guess is something with the mediavps but I can't figure it out.  I believe I posted the right file attached with this but if not let me know. 

Thanks

There are a lot of OpenGL errors which are probably caused by an incompatible OpenGL driver. Please try 3.8.0 RC1 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=93392.0) and check if that fixes the error. The new version uses the OpenGL core profile which should improve compatibility with most OpenGL drivers and since your system support OpenGL 4 you should be able to use that build without issues.

In case you do not want to use 3.8 you could try disabling GLSL shaders in the troubleshooting section of the launcher which should fix your issues but that will not show the full graphical potential of the engine.

Definitely; it's an Intelgrated:

Code: [Select]

  OpenGL Vendor    : Intel
  OpenGL Renderer  : Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
  OpenGL Version   : 4.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.3379
Your options are as m!m described: use a newer version of FSO with shaders your GPU can handle, or disable shaders entirely.
