when i tried fs2 open i had a bug with target tracking:


i followed all instructions, tried various gcard settings with no prevail, any ideas?
card i have is 9600pro ultra edition, using 4.2 catalysts

[kasperl]

known issue, IIRC. are you using the FOV parameter?

[Lightspeed]

This doesnt look like the misplacement issue. It's something completely different.

[karajorma]

Um. Check the names. Aren't these both from the same guy?

[Lightspeed]

That's what you get for crappy sleep + complete lack of clear thoughts

*smacks forehead*

I get the same thing when using non-standard resolutions. The lead indicator is anywhere but where it actually should be. Any hopes for a fix ?

[Bobboau]

non-standard resolutions arn't fully suported at the moment, there something that will be fixed after 3.6

Eh?

Checked it's not FOV settings, and I was using std resoulution of 1024x768

Erm, that image you posted isn't at 1024x768 but 640x480...

(The screenshot of the game I mean, not the image itself.  The relative size and position of the HUD elements looks like 640x480, not 1024x768)


So if it really was 1024x768, did you install the hi-res art?

[Lightspeed]

Make sure you have 'allow non standard modes' turned off.

I didn't notice that but I think Chrono has his finger on the problem here. Check your freespace2 folder for a file called sparky_hi_fs2.vp.

If you don't have it that's the source of your problem. You have to do a full install to have a copy (and if you're using the Home of the Underdogs version or any other non retail version you'll probably find that they don't include this file).

You can solve the problem by playing in 640x480 until you do a full reinstall.

Kara, you are somewhat wrong, i am using a HOTU like version, and sparki_hi was about 3 megs last time i checked, but i amm not getting that error. i am getting issues with ShipSelect ani's and stuff, but nothing in the HUD.

I was under the impression that the HotU version didn't even include a dummy version of the Sparky_hi. Since incomplete installs of FS2 don't include sparky_hi I'm somewhat suprised that HotU has included it. Are you sure the file is complete? Are you sure that you got it with the HotU download (you sure you didn't get an incomplete version from say Fractux's server).  What resolution are you getting these errors in?

[kasperl]

HOTU like

And i'm getting the 640 480 anims in the 1024*768 interface, making it all look a lot too small. And some of the null files are causing FSO errors at times.

I really wish someone could lead me to iso's or send me 3 CD's. I asked on Dutch guy on the forum to do so, send him 5 euro's for the CD's, he recieved it, and i never heard anything from him.

[Inquisitor]

Can't you get a new copy off the Interplay site?

Anywho, is this in mantis Lighty?

[kasperl]

they don't ship to Holland, IIRC.....
