Strange look

#1 Wow. What graphics card do you have? Did you get the driver from the manufacturer's site or WindowsUpdates (always do the manufacturer's site)?

#2 Thanks for answering. I run an ATI X1400 on vista. I got the driver from the manufacturers site (lenovo.. it a t60 2007 cto). Unfortunately there is only one driver.

This whole thing really starts to frustrate me, because I really would like to start developing on torque :-/

#3 I've also seen this on a video card, running in XP. Never found a solution for it though.

The card was a brand new ATI with 256MB memory in it.

#4 But is there anything where I can srew... just a guess would really help

#5 I had the same thing on one of my ATI pc's and I had to fall back to an older driver to fix it.

#6 Ok... I would like to try an older one. But on the Lenovo site there is only one available and on the ATI website it reads, that I have to get my driver from the manufacturers site.

Is there any other way of "downgrading" the driver?

#7 I have seen this error before and seen it resolved in the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI, however if you need to get the driver from another site I recommend Omega Drivers for your needs.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

#8 A bit late but you could add this to your defaults.cs with the other client prefs.

$pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1"; 
$pref::TS::UseTriangles = "1";

It worked for me.

#9 Well done Hans. Thanks :)

#10 Hi,

that sounds fine, but it doesn't work on my system. There are no vista drivers at omega and the changes in the defaults.cs seem to have no effects.

Do I have to do something after adding the lines to the defaults.cs in the client to get it working?

#11 Here it is a bit more detailed.
You should add those lines to demo/example game you want to play.
The defaults.cs is located in the client folder of each demo/example game.

The engine demo:
demo\client\defaults.cs

The Starter.fps:
starter.fps\client\defaults.cs

The starter.racing:
starter.racing\client\defaults.cs


Add the prefs to the default.cs and save it.

$pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1"; 
$pref::TS::UseTriangles = "1";

Then run "DeletePrefs.bat" and start the demo / example game from your choice.

Good Luck

#12 I had the same kind of thing happening (ATI 2900XT and Vista), unexpectedly resolved with a Catalyst update (Jan 08 specifically).

#13 Thanks for all your ideas :-) , but unfortunately it's not working. I'm going to work on linux.

But if anyone has any further ideas... please feel free to post. Seems, that I am not the only one having this problem.
