FRED Background Problem
I have a problem with FRED: whenever i open a window (edit-ship....) it always disappear under the black background where the ships are to be placed. The attached image may suggest the situation. Note the edit-ship window and the select-ship bar which are cut by the background.

Mobius suggested it could be a rendering problem, but we don't know how to solve it.

If it might be useful i'm using the fred_2_open_3_6_10_INF version (from INFASA), and i just upgraded the video drivers with the omega drivers suggested by Fury (before this improvement FRED was not working at all).

Thanks

Re: FRED Background Problem
Are you running with any command lines active (like -nohtl for instance)?

Re: FRED Background Problem
Sorry for late reply;
I'm not sure of what your question means, karajorma... where are these command lines?
Do you mean in the "C:\Games\INFAlliance\fred2_open_3_6_10_INF.exe" path in the "properties" window of the FRED icon? (not sure in english the terms are correct...).
in that case, no. Anyway, i didn't change anything from the basics settings; however i don't know if the INFASA basic settings are the same of the INFSCP ones.

Re: FRED Background Problem
Hmmmm. I'm not certain what's the cause of the problem in that case. Run the debug build and post your log.

Re: FRED Background Problem
i'm not sure INFASA has a debug build... but i'll ask in the private section.

Re: FRED Background Problem
Given that I'm the only person who seems to have compiled an Inferno build in ages I'm sure that one has a debug build to go with it.

Try running a normal copy of FRED2_Open while you're at it with just the retail data.
