The Woodmeister Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I use a Mac G4 Tower with a Nvidia Geforce 2 graphics card. I have problems with messed up textures in CMBB for most Axis troops and vehicles as well as for their 'contact lost' markers and any Axis held flags. The textures are a scrambled mess of mostly blue and purple. The game is still playable, but the Allies spend half their time fighting against strange purple blobs! Does anyone else have this problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOxide Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I have a similar problem, the majority of the map including the interface is missing textures. The missing textures look white. Tree for example don't retain their normal shape and instead are rather large squares that stick up from the ground which is usually white as well. This happends the majority of the time I start CMBB, not always. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Remove the classic Rave extension while booting up in 9.2. Worked for me and my QS 733 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Doerr Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I have the same problem (had it on the Demo too and just thought it was a demo problem). I have a QS 733, OS 9.2.2 (and OS 10.1.5) with the stock GeForce 2 MX. Deleting the Classic Rave didn't do anything for me (note I didn't need to do this to run CMBO). Madmatt, in an earlier thread, mentioned there's a known bug about crew textures that will be fixed in patch 1.01. Hopefully that fixes the whole issue. Interestingly, the screw up of the textures is not consistently the same. I've reloaded the same scenario several times and each time the screw up is slightly different. For what it's worth.

Tim Doerr Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 This was an interesting twist so I thought I'd post it. First time the textures are actually recognizable as something specific. It's almost as if the real textures aren't there so it's grabbing whatever it can find. I really hope this gets fixed because the details on the Russian vehicles are very nice and it's a shame not to have the German counterparts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Doerr Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Just found the patch fixes list. Corrected a problem where bailed tank crews from a saved game would show graphical problems with their uniforms or crash when clicked on. Somehow this sounds too specific to fix what I'm seeing. Here's hoping.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Have you added any mods into the game? I only get those textures in the demo if I'm running other programs with CM (i.e. Internet Explorer, Entourage.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Doerr Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I have never added a mod to either game (gasps are heard from the crowd along with mutters of "barbarian"). Also, there is nothing else running in OS 9.2.2 when I play since it's not my primary OS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Doerr Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Anyone else with ideas? Sympathy? Bones? Somebody please help because it's very distracting to play with purple fuzz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Which Nvidia driver are you using? Check with version tracker to find the latest. http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13906&db=mac How is your hard drive partitioned. I've got a 9.2.2- 10 gigs ( One OS) I've got mac os x (which I never use) -30 gigs ( two OS's on that pup, one is 10 and the other is 9 for classic but I've never booted up classic before. I also have a swap partition for mac os 10. All I can say is pay close attention to where and which OS you are booting off. If you are using your classic system folder to boot up 9, you will have problems. Make a fresh partition and install just the 9 operating system. This could help. My specs: iMac G4 800 mhz 512 mb Ram 60 Gig drive Nvidia (stock) 32 mbeez [ October 30, 2002, 04:11 PM: Message edited by: Hoopenfaust 101 ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Doerr Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Well now I feel really foolish. Foolish for believing Apple had the latest drivers. They used to be v2.6. Thanks to your link, they're now 3.0 and everything works just fine. Thanks Hoopenfaust! BTW, I have never partitioned my drive, have a second OS 9 folder nor deleted the Classic Rave and CMBO (and now CMBB) have worked just fine. Thanks again.
