netshaman Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 Well, in FP mode my AE lose all but wrist laser, backpack and rifle gun textures, he is "naked" with only his white shape. This don't occur in space. I have a radeon 8500 with 64 Mo of memory on a ASUS mainboard with 512 Mo of ram and agp memory set to 64 Mo ( wich is the max i can select due to the i 815 chipset ). Can you help me ? P.S: Sorry for the info profile, but i cannot update it, the server tells me the CD key is already in use, so it can't be modified. I had new graphics drivers for the radeon: the latest catalyst 4.2.

Oh and i discovered that sometimes the AE is invisible This happens to just one time. I tried on differents planets (Trion and Earh ) in varaiable conditions (night and day ) and it is the same issue. Tried it with transporter, exiting from SC or OC. Same result : textures are missing. Do you know if the radeon 8500 had problems with certain types of texturing or somewhat else ?

I've got a radeon running Cat 4.2 drivers... explain EXACTLY how to reproduce this... to the letter... and I will see if I can get it to happen... so far I've not seen any problems...
netshaman Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 Ok, so start with a roam scenario, select aestrom or another vessel from the assets menu, goto tacops and select tactical, tell your AE to go to transporter, exit, select the Earth, observe and choose a place everywhere on the planet, select tranporter in the tacops menu, setpos and tranfer the AE on the surface, then press the F9 key to activate the external camera and see the AE have no texture exept the rifle, backpack and pulse laser. Here you can see what it looks like : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/netshaman/PHOTO.JPG

Tell me what all of your graphics settings are set at(*IMPORTANT*)... If it still doesn't look right... which race / caste etc you selected... If all else fails... go into your control panel, uninstall your ATI drivers, control panel, and anything else ATI and re-install your cat 4.2s... in fact try that today... because I wont be home 'till after 2:30 today (its 9:20 in the morning now)
netshaman Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Posted February 20, 2004 My graphics settings are: Direct3d: anisotropic filtering: 16X Antialiasing: application preference Texture: High quality Mipmap: High quality Vertical sync: Application preference Truform: Application ppreference Zbuffer32: activated Dithering alpha:Error diffusion DXT:Activated Alternate pixel center:Off Open GL: Antialiasing: Off Anisotropic :16X Texture: High quality Mipmap: High quality Vertical sync: Off by default Truform: application preference Z-buffer: off Triple buffering : activated Dithering : Error diffusion My race and caste is the terran military. I had deinstalled and reinstalled the cat 4.2s and the textures on the AE are back but one time the shape of the AE was "polygonised" err i don't have the perfect word for this but it looks like some polygons that are stacked in an disodered manner to try to achieve the form of the AE shape. Sorry to not being precise at this point but it is hard for me to describe this with my limited knowledge of english. Cheers.
FLY135 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 I had the same thing happen to me (non-textured AE). But I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I haven't changed or updated anything, so if it happens again I'll try to figure out how to reproduce it.
Grizzle Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Just to be safe I'd set TruForm to OFF (are there any games that actually use this?) You should also try disabling DXT in the video card D3D options and in the game options.
