Odd graphic anomolies
« on: June 27, 2007, 07:12:46 pm »
This is my first post, so hello to all.  :D
I'm loving PS btw.  \\o//

There's been a few similar posts to this seemingly targeted at ATI users, however I am using an nVidia and experiencing 3 distinct quirks with the graphics. It doesn't cause any real playability issues, but I thought I'd report them anyway.

1) Interesting kaleidescope effect with the sky (only the sky) from time to time, primarily in the Hydlaa Plaza, the roads past the gates at Hydlaa and the courtyard in front of the arena . (2nd screenshot from 'http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26979.0' is pretty close.)
2) Certain objects appearing as a translucent blue, almost a mirror effect from the sky. Most notably, crates, barrels, etc.
3) Black and white 'Crash Test Dummy' textures (UV placeholders?) displayed in some areas, mainly shrubs and large boulders/rock walls.

All 3 points are intermittent. If I cross to another map and then come back, well.... the coin gets flipped.  :-\

Current specs:
Hardware:
Intel P4 3.2, 1GB Ram, nVidia 7300 GT 256MB DDR2
etc, etc.

Software:
PS CB (0.3.018) Binary package.
Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 (Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic) 32bit
Video driver: latest binary drivers from nVidia  (100.14.09-1)

I can post some screenshots if required.

Any thoughts?

These are fairly common and you learn to live with them. Hopefully they will get fixed eventually but I think they occur in all configurations.
