I've been getting this as well, but I can't take screenshots, as they come out all green.  The backgrounds come up with a multi-colored checkerboard errect.

I did see the envmap problem this morning as I was playing around (I think it's the same thing anyway).  Not sure what's causing it, but saved cubemaps also show it so it's likely a rendering issue but not a display problem.  I'll see what I can do about it later this week.

And the green screenshot problem should be fixed in CVS.  No build has come out with the updated code yet (except to a few people) but it should work again in the next build.

Taylor, I think another one has suffered the background bug. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39905.msg814944.html#msg814944)

I also experience this bug. On first mission all is OK, on second its a random combination of artifacted background textures, unreadable fonts (shown somewhere on forum, vertical lines instead of letters) and broken model geometry. This only happens in CVS builds after 17th may, but doesn't occur under Linux (my own builds, latest CVS). It also seems that environment map is rendered with artifacted backgrounds when flying first mission, I once saw those errors in reflected nebula.

Is exactly my problem...

I've notice that all the people that are suffering the background bug seems to have ATI cards. I have nVidia AGP 7800 GS and no problems till now.

Has anyone with nVidia suffered it? Has any ATI user got an old nVidia card and can make a swap to check that?

(Maybe that can be useful info for Taylor).

I noticed that they tend to be ATI users as well.  So far I haven't heard of any NVIDIA user with the problem.  Unfortunately that doesn't help me come up with a fix any faster.  But, since there is apparently something wrong with the FBO code that's making some envmaps get rendered wrong, I'm hoping that fixing that problem will take care of this one as well.

mmm stabbing.

Sorry if this is a old problem but, I can`t get this to work 
When I launch it All I see is a white screen with little lines of grey where the usual start menu buttons were supposed to be.
I wanted to try the new Media 3.6.8. Zeta But I can`t get this to work. This is the first build that I ever had problems with.

Um....
Currently still useing media vps 3.6.7.
Windows XP
Launcher 5.3
Open AL
Direct3D8 (Everything has worked well untill now)
All I can think of right now....

A D3D bug, should be fixed in newer builds.

Direct3D8 (Everything has worked well untill now)

Use OpenGL instead.  D3D is unsupported now.

Alright but, where did you download?
I googled it and found many GL tools in about 12 different sites. Which one?
Sorry if I sound to Noobish

All long as you have up-to-date drivers for your video card you should be good to go.  If you have problems for some reason just let us know what video card you have and what driver version you are using now.

The problem is not that your version of OpenGL is too old but that your version of FS2_Open is too old as this build is nearly two weeks old and the bug was fixed last week

However if you simply swap to OpenGL in the launcher the white screen problem will go away without the need to download anything. (Of course you may encounter other problems!)

Keep getting dumped back to windows from while midgame. This is the main error. Tried searching the Mantis but couldn't get it to show anything so I thought I should report it. It happens during main campaign, anytimes, with and without the newest media VP's.


EDIT: -safeloading Option fixed it.
