Specs Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Has anyone else seen these odd black-and-white patches infecting the grass tile graphics? I'm running the demo on a stock dual-500Mhz Mac under System 9.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Nope, not seen this 'pollution' on my Mac DP450Mhz Mac, System 9.2.2 with aftermarket ATI AGP Radeon 32mb, Open GL 1.2.4 IMHO Check that your graphics card drivers are the latest versions and if you have the time try updating your OS from 9.1 to 9.2.2 (d/l available from Apple website, admittedly quite large d/l). Hope that helps let us kno how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specs Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Updated to 9.2.1 -- here's how it looks now: Hoping this will improve with 9.2.2 ...! Oddly, the appearance of CMBO was slightly improved by the new system software, but CMBB is now unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 This is not an OS issue. This is a graphics card/driver issue. Dont know much about macs, but you might want to cross-post to the tech forum. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busboy Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Same thing, update to 9.2.2 and everything is hunkie dorie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I've had no problems under 9.1 but I agree that it is probably a driver problem. I had had a raft of problems with CMBO until I finally got the right set of drivers for my GF2MX. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specs Posted October 1, 2002 Author Share Posted October 1, 2002 The stirring conclusion to our saga of woe and intrigue... After updating to System 9.2.2 everything looked spiffy. And so it remained, until the CD arrived and I installed the full game -- then things went from spiffy to supercagafunkadelic. Behold: the Paisleygrenadier! Note that this undocumented feature includes the legendary unsichtsimonbarsinistergewehr, or invisible rifle, a little-known adaptation of the same technology behind Wonder Woman's plane. American scientific inquiries into Amazonian camoflage went uniformly and disastrously wrong, most famously with the so-called Philadelphia Experiment and, of course, Harvey the Invisible Rabbit. Unfortunately, the Paisleygrenadiers do not appear to be compatible with v3.0 of the Macintosh nvidia driver, so whatever you do, don't download it from here if your Mac has an nvidia card.

Michael Emrys Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Well, Specs, I don't know what to tell you. I'm running 9.1, OpenGL v1.2.1, and the 2.6 driver set and I'm doing fine. Maybe you went too far? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostro Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 If only some textures don't work, maybe you have some of them corrupted. Seems more as a silly mod than a driver error. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif Try reinstalling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted, v3.0 fixes the Paisleytruppen thing -- I didn't try v2.6, as I found 3.0 first. Mostro: If only some textures don't work, maybe you have some of them corrupted.No, the earlier diagnosis of driver trouble seems to have been on target, as the paisley uniforms disappeared without touching any of the game's files. tero: I'm running the demo in a PIII 450 with 512Mb memory and a 16Mb Video card and I get the same anomalies.Cross-platform weirdness! FWIW, the Paisleygrenadiers were the only problem I noticed on my Mac -- my brave Russian soldiers wanted nothing to do with such bourgeois decadence.

When you update, it seems that the new drivers simply overwrite the existing ones without preserving them. If you have a duplicate set, you can put them back in if the new ones don't work.

Hmmm... if my PC turned into a Mac, then I could order the game direct from BTS! And it'd change its colour into something more lively. (Kinda like once when I was having hangover and reading my e-mails... oh, I'll save that for another time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
