Thank you for the reply rscaper.
When I place atioglxx.dll in the Freespace2 folder, the 3612 EXEs crash - I tried release and debug.
Let me describe the problem in detail in case it is a different issue than the one from Read This Before Posting thread...I have attached a screenshot.
When lightning arcs between sections of a damaged ship, one or more of the sections will briefly become completely white . After the lightning flickers out, the ship sections display the correct texture.
(This could happen on fighters, but I only notice it on bigger ships ).
Dig
UPDATE
I think it is working now....
I installed old AMD GPU drivers version 10-11. The old drivers by themselves did not fix the graphical issue.
They did let me use the atioglxx.dll WITHOUT crashing - - which fixed the graphical issue.
Thank you for your help.
