Visual of some items missing
« on: December 17, 2010, 02:17:33 pm »

Since upgrading to the newer version, when in my guild house items that have been added to the interior are not viewable. They are present and when the area where one would expect them is clicked they appear in the Information window and the red highlighted circle appears around them yet not the item image itself.

Outside the guild the furnace in Oja was not viewable and a character standing behind it could be seen. When an attempt was made to click on that character then Furnace appeared in the Information window; so the item was blocking the character yet, again, could not be seen.

When leaving east Hydlaa to Hydlaa the hide salesman and his wife could be seen yet not their lean to or the wagon in front of their stall.

Might someone know if this is a cache problem on my end or something?

If I remember right, there may be a problem with the rendering related to "instancing" or so; there was a config line mentioned to try... RlyDontKnow will remember.

I had similar experiences. On a very old PC (ATI Radeon 9250) I could not see the Pterosaur or Lady Peckerly in Gugrontid. On a more modern one (GeForce 9600 GT) I saw only the stems of waysigns, but not the concrete foot, and not the sign flag either.

Maybe try this?

11. Invisible/Black Items:
This has gotten a rather common issue lately on lower end graphics cards. To fix it add the following line to your planeshift.cfg:
PlaneShift.Items.Instantiate = false

Thanks Minks! That seemed to work for Jeyarp's booth and wagon.
