Heyo all

After a ton of help from people with my launcher issue (solved btw thank you all SO much ), I am now able to play the game just fine, except...

...all external ships (capital ships and fighters) and asteroids etc turn bright yellow or light violet whenever I shoot my guns! This is weird, if you ask me. I thought I's be able to play through it, but seeing as I'm using my guns pretty-much the whole game, it get pretty distracting 

Any ideas?

Thanks a ton in advance

Chris

What kind of graphics hardware do you have?

[amatar]

Phenpm 9950 BE
4 GB DDR2 800
GTX 460

I just built it and installed windows a month ago so everything should be up to date lol. I mean, I can run skyrim full-out so I shouldn't have a problem with diaspora

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

In addition, can you make a screenshot or two showing this in action? You can take them by pressing the Print Screen button, the screenshots will be deposited in Diaspora\Screenshots.

Hello

When I go into debug mode, it crashes on the load screen after I hit the "Briefing" button.

Here's the text for that (I've also included my log and some screencaps)

They'll turn white and will flicker between weird colours and  normal graphics, but they're mostly the weird colours.

sigh

Wowsers, never seen that before and I'm using a similar video card to you (GTS 450).

A couple more points; that message you received was a warning, you can continue by selecting "no" (i.e. don't break into the debugger).

Secondly, we actually need the fs2_open.log file, it should be in Diaspora/data/fs2_open.log. If you installed Diaspora to Program FIles, then it'll be somewhere else.  Check the link that The_E posted to find the "virtual store" that WIndows will have stashed it into.

Wasn't there a new build as of the 1.1 patch?

[amatar]

The fs_open.log file is there...the link's there just above the screencaps

As well, I've applied the 1.1 update.

Weird as hell lol

[niffiwan]

Oops.  So it is 

I think your video drivers need to be updated.  Here's yours:

Code: [Select]

Initializing OpenGL graphics device at 1136x652 with 32-bit color...
  Initializing WGL...
  Requested WGL Video values = R: 8, G: 8, B: 8, depth: 24, stencil: 8, double-buffer: 1
  Actual WGL Video values    = R: 8, G: 8, B: 8, depth: 24, stencil: 8, double-buffer: 1
  OpenGL Vendor    : NVIDIA Corporation
  OpenGL Renderer  : GeForce GTX 460/PCI/SSE2
  OpenGL Version   : 4.0.0

And here are mine, note the different supported OpenGL version.

Code: [Select]

Initializing OpenGL graphics device at 1600x900 with 32-bit color...
  Initializing SDL...
  Requested SDL Video values = R: 8, G: 8, B: 8, depth: 24, stencil: 8, double-buffer: 1, FSAA: 4
  Actual SDL Video values    = R: 8, G: 8, B: 8, depth: 24, stencil: 8, double-buffer: 1, FSAA: 4
  OpenGL Vendor    : NVIDIA Corporation
  OpenGL Renderer  : GeForce GTS 450/PCIe/SSE2
  OpenGL Version   : 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.38

It seems the most recent drivers are version 340.52, so maybe give them a go.

Greetings

The driver update solved my issues. It's odd that drivers that are newer than the game make the game go all glitchy...I dunno w/e lol it works now and I'm happy!

Thank you very much for your help niffiwan  I will mark the topic as solved

I go play now 

[niffiwan]

no problem, I hope you enjoy the game!
