Hi at all! I've installed my FS2 retail version, and have applied all FS2Open packs and MediaVPS. Now I have FS2 really good, but I have a small problem with graphics...when I destroy a ship, the debris this cause, are corrupted, there instead of electric shocks on surface of debris, I see only flashing textures!Why...?There's a solution? These are my settings on launcher:

Graphics: OpenGL
Resolution: 1920X1080
Depth:32bit
Texture filter: Trilinear
Anisotropic: 16X
AA: 16X
General Settings: High
Use large textures: Enabled
Fix Distortion problem: Enabled

I have MediaVPS 3.6.12 with upgraded component MV_Assets.3612.vp, MV_Effects.3612.vp and  MV_Root.3612.vp inside the main MediaVPS folder, and all suggested "Features" settings for this mod...

Thanks a lot!!!

aren't you running an ati?

[Unlimited2001]

Yes, a Radeon HD5770...is this the problem?

[General Battuta]

It's a known issue with some ATI cards. Try updating your drivers; if that doesn't work we may have a special fix VP around.

[Unlimited2001]

I understand...I have the latest Catalyst drivers...and where I can ask a special fix for this problem?Thank you

Please read the FSO FAQ stickied here and post a log.

[General Battuta]

I'm not sure a log is going to tell us anything - this is a known issue with ATI cards. We just have to post the ma_sdrfix VP if someone's got it.

Please read the FSO FAQ stickied here and post a log.

Ok, but in the list of FAQ, where is my problem?And, where I can generate a log??Sorry, but I'm still a beginner!

Damn, I can't find the log file...I have Win7 64Bit!

There are instructions for just that case in the post Jeff Vader linked to. Read them carefully.

[Unlimited2001]

Yes, I've found instructions, but when I try to run debug mode in windows, the game won't start and crash to desktop, and the link to the file, this: "Download this file and place it to your \freespace2\data\ folder. Then, do exactly what what you did when creating the first fs2_open.log." isn't active...

[General Battuta]

Search for the fs2_open.log and see if you've got one generated already.

[Unlimited2001]

Yes, in my "C:\games\freespace2\data" folder, I have this log file...It seems contain the previous error, when I try to start in debug mode...

Well, it would be an empty file, so it's not that big a loss. And you'll notice the part saying that you don't need to do that **** unless you've specifically been asked to do that ****. And we just asked for the regular fs2_open.log. Which you've now posted.

Found root pack 'e:\warble_fs2.vp' with a checksum of 0xd85c305d
You don't need to have any cds in your drives.

Also, are you sure you're not experiencing the fourth issue from the bottom under Graphical issues? The "Damage lightning looks weird." issue?

[Unlimited2001]

Ok, but I must repeat the debug mode now?Or the log file I've been posted is correct?Thanks a lot, and sorry again, I'm Italian, and my English is not the best!:-)

[General Battuta]

Download this - http://koti.mbnet.fi/reiler/FunkyFreeSpaceStuff/ma-sdrvfix.rar - and extract it to your MVPs directory.

[Jeff Vader]

I mean, it sounds like you have the issue where damage lightning makes textures completely white. And that is the "Damage lightning looks weird." issue. And the FAQ contains instructions on solving it. Please try the solution in the FAQ. Use a normal build. If the problem persists, we'll think of something else.

[Unlimited2001]

Okok, I undestand, but isn't this the issue, the problem is on the debris after an enemy ship explode, the pieces of the ship are crossed by electric shock, but in my case the textures that compose them, flashing white...anyway, I tried to put the "ma-sdrvfix" file in MVPs directory, but to no avail...

Exactly what I meant.

Troubling. Sorry for a dumb question, but you did remember to extract the .vp from the .rar and didn't just put the rar in \mediavps_3612\ ?
