Hi Archer - that looks like a shader / graphic issue likely due to your video card / driver age / OS / etc

Could you make sure you have your latest video card drivers (maybe check with dxdiag or something) and post the log file from /logs ? It'll likely have some errors in it, not much we can do with just the screenies

Post your exact OS, video card, etc too please?

 

[Archer]

ok

 

[Immortius]

Try updating your video drivers (from the ati website)

 

[Archer]

I have done but has brought nothing

I have done but has brought nothing

Could you attach the log file from the /logs dir please? It might hold some errors

 

[Archer]

ok

 

[Kai Kratz]

In the logs subfolder where your terasology exe is located

 

[Archer]

I have found it

Yep, there it is:

That might be an issue with the hardware/driver, or it could be how we use a specific shader. That's arcane wizardry to me tho, more of a begla review thing

 

[Archer]

how can I solve the problem?

 

[Cervator]

Just hang on for a bit - we might be able to solve it in the code. If it is your specific combination of video card + driver + OS then there's less we can do about it, though over time we may be able to lower the video requirements (not really a focus just yet)

It would be very handy to have you do a retest at some point if we do tweak the code

 

[begla]

I've fixed the warning popping up in your log there - so just try the next build popping up soon. But I don't think eliminating this one warning will be the solution to the whole problem.

 

[Archer]

does that mean I can not solve the problem?

 

[begla]

Did you try the latest build on your machine? Terasology.zip

 

[Archer]

yes but the problems are still there

 

[Cervator]

Did anything change? Re-attach a new log?

 

[Archer]

think not

 

[Cervator]

Logs are clean now. Like begla feared Terasology might just not be able to support your system at the moment

We'll be improving in that area over time, but it might be a while. Sorry about that.

It would be very helpful if you could pass by once in a while and see if anything changes.

ok thanks for the help
