Light glows showing through objects/Invisible Meshes *SOLVED*
by Justin Fleming · in Technical Issues · 03/07/2012 (4:37 am) · 5 replies
Hi,
I recently downloaded the demo version of Torque 3D so that I could try the engine before purchasing. While playing through the Chinatown FPS Tutorial level I noticed a glitch that is causing all of the lights with the "glow" effect around them to appear through all objects and buildings (See Picture).
Another glitch I am experiencing occurs only when I have lighting quality above the lowest setting (and sometimes only in full screen). The glitch causes nearly all meshes to become either invisible or transparent. Unfortunately my computer will not allow me to take a picture of this (?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot wait to get started working with Torque.
Thanks in advance,
~ Justin

Thank you for your reply, but I am not experiencing any shadows or light bleed through the walls, just the special effect glow around them is visible. i don't know if the light would bleed through if I could make the lighting quality higher, but from what I have seen I think I am experiencing a different glitch.

Make sure that you have both DirectX and your GPU drivers up-to-date, both of those things being out of date versions can cause all types artifacts.

Thank you. Both were up to date, but your comment reminded me that I have set ATI control centre to boost graphical settings higher than the application allows me. Disabling these and using application settings only fixed the problem.
