Bizarre GUI issues with constructer

by DreamPharaoh · in Constructor · 01/08/2008 (4:48 pm) · 6 replies

I loaded constructer about a week ago after buying TGEA, and everything seemed to be good, but I was working with terrain issues and not ready for constructer. Now I open it up and much of the GUI is blocky rainbow colored including the in-program mouse-pointer. I have no idea what has caused such a glitch, but I can't see what the icons are in order to work in the program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this program numerous times with the same issue, and re-downloaded it from GG with still the same issues.

Any thoughts on this one?

What is your OS, video card, and driver versions? It sounds like it's not interfacing with the video right. Have you seen any other problems with OpenGL based software?

Blender has a problem with showing the texture on the UV mapped object, and the object has a simular rainbow blotchy look to it, but all other programs including TGEA are running without this issue. Here is some more info on what I have...

TGEA's renderer is DirectX based. That's why I was wondering about other GL apps. Does TGE work correctly?

I just checked TGE and it has the same issue as well, good call. I found out that NVIDEA is using NVOGLNT.DLL for its OpenGL. I don't know if this will help at all.

Have you updated your video drivers to see if it goes away? Or searched for a specific GL version of the drivers?

I have upgraded an OpenGL driver version from one of Nvidea's sub-companies and now it works. Thank you for your direction. Now if only I can upgrade my card to one that is good for game creation -- I'm tired of Nvidea issues :)
