Saedor Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I really love SF:P1, but I have one problem. For some reason, the terrain directly beneath my aircraft is being rendered in a different shade than the more distant terrain. As the aircraft moves, the 'box' of greyish terrain moves with it. Anyone know what might be causing this? I don't see it in anyone elses screenshots I've seen. I have tried altering the graphics settings, but it doen't have any effect. I have attatched a couple screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about. System Info; Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 1 (2600.xpsp2.030422-1633) System Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation System Model: Dimension 2300 BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 1.80GHz Memory: 638MB RAM Page File: 129MB used, 1432MB available DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0900) Quote
moon161 Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 1) Right-click on the desktop | Properties | settings 2) What's it say about the graphics card in the 'Display' listing? Telling people about the graphics card and driver will give them a lot more to go on. Quote
+Armourdave Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Maybe upgrading to directx 9.0b would help. Cheers Quote
+Armourdave Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) Is this the one you have? http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/hardware/desk...9006802p,00.htm? If it is and you haven't added a new GFX card then I'm guessing it's an issue with the Integrated Intel 845GL chipset. Cheers Edited December 14, 2003 by Armourdave Quote
Saedor Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 Yeah, I think thats what it is. I have the integrated Intel graphics. Quote
+Dagger Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 SF doesn't like on board video...if thats what you're running thats your problem.sorry Quote
Saedor Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 As usual, I was looking at the problem as being far more complicated than it really was. I downloaded the latest drivers for my system from Intel, and, Voila! Problem solved! Heres a screenshot of my Tiawanese F-86F over the beautiful Taiwan terrain by USAFTML and Wolf257 that I downloaded recently. 1 Quote
+Armourdave Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 I'm pleased to see you got it fixed! Quote
