TA3D

i'm having an odd problem which might be related to my drivers.

after i start any mission i get something that looks like huge gray rectangle that slowly fades in and out and covers entire screen (except menus). it sometimes changes angles.

does anybody know which video option might be causing such a behavior? i suspect it might be an issue with my 3d drivers (using ati r500 with mesa opensource drivers on linux), which i might forward to mesa developers.

Anything like the two images I posted in this thread? http://www.tauniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41592

not quite, i am getting a big gray rectangle that goes between invisible and 100% opaque . it seems like each cycle takes ~1 second.

i'll try doing screenshots.

it looks similar to first screen, a bit. it behaves a bit like water, after further investigation. higher areas are unaffected by this graphical issue.


edit: i tried capturing it "frame by frame", so to speak

the problem I had is affected by height too, and fades in and out. Only had it once though, before I deleted the folder and downloaded it again.

Waves seem to be rendered correctly. This could be an error in some foggy calculation in a water or maybe a buggy quad.

Try to disable particles(particles use many quads) and to run with the lowest water quality settings. If it works try enabling particles again.
