Trees flash when plotting moves


Recommended Posts

Gents,

Playing 1.07. When I left-click to place a movement order in WEGO, the front-most row of trees (cut off by the bottom of the screen) flash.

Has anyone else seen this?

It seems to be minor, but it is annoying and possibly indicates other issues.

Regards,

Ken

More on this graphic oddity: The bottom of the screen's terrain disappears at certain angles and distances. Savegame available (Al Amarah 008c 005 graphic glitch).

It is not limited to trees. The entire terrain "floor" can disappear at times. Always occurs near the interface bar at the bottom of the screen.

This has been noted by others.

Regards,

Ken

Ken,

I can't recall exactly, but I believe this is covered in the Tech Support area.

Apparently, IIRC, some video cards crop or trim the bottom part of the display if they are being overworked.

Here: Terrain disappears when scrolling forwards

Hopefully you remember it as you contributed to the discussion. smile.gif

I can't even remember what I had for breakfast!

I'm using an 8800gtx (768 Meg Graphics Memory). I'd hope it's not running out.

The terrain which disappears is the scenario terrain. The underlayment stays. It is repeatable. Motion is not needed. The camera position is the variable. Certain heights and angles clip the terrain. The terrain has to have an incline to it. The odd part is that the clipping occurs when further away. I'd expect a zoom-in to cause clipping.

Thanks,

Ken

Running everything at stock settings, whql approved drivers.

CMSF menu? With my graphics card I've chosen high or the equivalent settings.

Savegame available. At some point, I may download Fraps so I can take a screen shot.

Regards,

Ken

Ken,

Well I’m not sure about your particular situation. Certainly I’ve not had that issue with my 8800GX, which is a less capable card, on big maps, but then my install has no mods (so that testing isn’t confused by what might be mod issues) and I run XP Pro.

Also I’m not really a Windoze tech guy so I’d be just guessing if Vista was an issue.

You may want to:

1. Post this to the Tech Support area where people with better skills in this area frequent.

2. Wait a few days and see if things change for “some reason”.

Negative, not fixed in v1.08.

Edited to add: no mods, no skins. Everything is default files.

This is specific to one or two camera elevations coupled with sloping terrain.

Resolution: 1920x1200

evga 8800gtx (standard clocks)/nvidia 169.25 drivers (soon to try 174.74 (?))

Windows Vista Ultimate x64
