Black squares instead shadows?

by Denis Linardic · in Torque Game Engine · 10/08/2004 (11:05 pm) · 6 replies

Hi! I have some strange problem. In my game(and starter.fps) instead of shadow there is a strange flickering black square. I tried to recompile but same problem occured. I didn't change anything inside the engine(only the scripts). However I did an upgrade to latest graphic drivers(maybe is that).

There is a shadow, but after displaying shadow, black square appear (not all the time)
Sometimes everything works just fine. I tried to test on the other PC (same VGA card), same thing happened.

I have ATI Radeon 9200.

Ya, the black rectangle flashes, I have them too(same card). The GG guys say that they have the same bug with their ATI systems. It doesn't happen on Nvida cards. I think its a driver issue, what driver are you using? I'm using the latest Catalyist driver(I think).
