Alpha Channel Problem?

by Jonathan Sharp · in Hardware Issues · 10/25/2011 (3:44 pm) · 5 replies

I just installed Torque Pro 1.1 and this is what I see.

I'm not sure what it could be. It looks like an alpha channel glitch to me. I don't have any problems with other 3D apps or games.

Here are my PC's specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
Memory: (RAM) 8.00GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6870 VRAM 1GB
Catalyst Version 11.9
DirectX 11
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11079

@Jonathan Sharp: You need to install DirectX 9.0c. You can find it here.

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't handle versioning with DX very well. A system reporting that DX is 11, 10, or even 9.0c doesn't mean it's up to date. The DirectX team puts out fairly frequent updates to the runtimes, even beyond the usual SDK releases. The problem is they keep the version number that the system reports the same. There are a lot things left out in DX11 that DX9 based tools and games such as T3D require. Fortunately at least, running the DX web installer guarantees that all runtimes are up to date.

I already ran it and it says that it doesn't need to install anything. Do I need to install something else.

I fix it, turns out it had to do with my anisotropic filtering. I set it to app managed and it fix it.
