Author Topic: Graphics problem in latest build? (Read 1843 times)

Ok, sorry to start a new thread about something I mentioned in the AI & Dumbfire, but I have just noticed that the latest version of FS2 is not using LOD 0 for me in the tech database or in-game.
Before I start posting things on Bugzilla, I was wondering if anyone here was having the same problem? I'm using a GeForce 4, and I HAVE had one or two problems with the registry/launcher and the game crashing when I leave, but still lurking around preventing me from restarting it, but I'm pretty sure the registry thing is more my ignorance and that it will probs fix the other problem

To be brief look at the attached jpgs...
You need to hand-type in the link and not just click on it, else you tend to end up back here :S

These are from the tech database, it is the same thing in game, no LOD 0

Is it no LOD0 or is it just reduced texture resolution?

It looked like a model problem, not just the textures. I've got it fixed by re-install, so I have a large suspicion it was something to do with registry settings, but for the life of me, I couldn't find what it was

I've even restored all my old data directory, and it still works fine.
Just a blip I guess, thanks for the help in this thread and the Dumbfire & AI thread as well

I know what that is.
Either run the original launcher before the new one or add the following to the registry

D3Dfast 0

I will fix this up.

Awesome! I'll try that, since I still need to run the launcher and re-apply the settings every time I run SCP, with any luck, that may fix that problem as well

This new launcher should also fix it:

Sorry about that

Please e-mail me about the above problem.

Sorry for not replying for a couple of days, was testing FOV stuff for Bobbeau, so I rarely got as far as closing the game

Well, the new launcher or .EXE file seems to have solved whatever the problem was, memory leak is gone and the program closes properly at the moment. But if it starts doing it again for any reason I'll let you know

Thanks for the help.
