When I deactivate mediavps, it works, OpenGL or not. I'll reinstall it.

Re: Black and White ships - FIXED
Hey guys, this really seems a ForceWare 169.xx series issue. These drivers series are problematic in OGL, even with the actual official WHQL release.

I never got this black-and-white-stripes issue, (my system is Vista 32 bit + 8800 GTX), but feanor got them with Vista 64 bit. See screenshot in this closed thread.

If it is a 169.xx issue:
  • Latest version, and official BTW, (.21 (XP) and .25 (vista)), seems to run fine BUT with -no_glsl. So official 3.6.9 build is not going to render fine.
  • 163.75 should run fine.
  • 169.xx has also a side effect with missing resolutions at least in Vista (1280 x 960 as example). I've posted a hack that at least works in my system. (No other guarantees). :cool:

Please confirm that this is (or not) your situation. Read this thread, it has all available info about the issue: SCP Troubles. And please use this linked thread to post all the info you can. Let's keep it focused.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.
