Massive texture problems in unknown system (spoiler)

Sun Dec 14, 2003 2:28 pm by lvxoccvlta

The rest of the game is fine..

Except.. once I hit the unknown system. The pink one.

The system sometimes turns into shades of DEEP RED.. then i see the background skybox splintered in triangular shards of blue..

If i turn off background star textures, the proiblem fixes itself.. but the system turns black of course.

Is this a graphic card problem, a direct x problem, or what..

I notice similar effects occuring from time to time with the NAV MAP when i zoom in and out.. triangular texture shards changing colors. My best assumption is its some kind of transparancy issue with my mobile radeon 320M (128mb memory)

are you using the most recent drivers? if not, could be they fixed that...

no, i am not. my drivers are a year old.

I have a laptop with an ATI RADEON 320M IGP at 128mb AGP.

Now.. the issue is this..

ATI says in the catalyst website that my card is supported. I download the catalyst, then i get an INF failure, and a driver not found message. The readme then doesnt list my card in the catalyst. But everywhere on the website, i can find support for the 320M.

Now, i did some poking. One part of the ATI website said taht my card is a Powered-By-ATI Product, and not a Built-By-ATI product. But the catalyst drivers were designed to work with it anyways. Then another part of the website says that my Powered-By ATI product is NOT supported by catalyst, and referred me to a webpage with partnered companies from which i should find a suitable driver for my Radeon.

Thing is, my laptop, a fujitsu-siemens (amilo A) is not listed as one of ATI's partners! But my old laptop drivers shipped with my laptop has working ATI drivers-- THERE IS EVEN A FRIKKING POWERED BY ATI STICKER ON THE LAPTOP.

So.. i went to fujitsu-siemens.. there they have "updated" drivers.. i downloaded them, seeing that the updated stamp was only a couple months old.. only to find, theyre teh same old crappy drivers I had in the first place.

Does ANYONE here possibly have a RADEON 320M with UPDATED GRAPHICS DRIVERS?

I might make another post about this later.

This has been a long headache.
