im running a geforce 4 ti4200 with the lastest nvidia drivers ive ran through the forums but havent been able to fix the whiteish textures, texture downsampling is at 0

any suggestions would be cool =D
p.s, forgot to mention the system is running on xp and that ps was selfextracting.

GeForce 4 is too old, does not support OpenGL 2.0; regarding GeForce, a minimum of generation 6 would be required, generation 8/9 is recommendable.

firmware for the g4 ti series has open gl 2.0 and dx9 support ;P
was just hoping someone might know a work around i recently installed this card so the kids could play some different games i had no problem with ps on a older card previously

Ahm, well, maybe not exact enough ...

TechARP Desktop GPU comparison guide — Nvidia: Details / Features

The chipset (NV25) has only support for hardware accellerated functions matching the era of DirectX 8 or OpenGL 1.4 (Vertex Shader 1.1, Pixel Shader 1.3).

If a software driver claims to be OpenGL 2.0 / DirectX 9 compatible, it would have to emulate or ignore new features which the chipset (NV2x) is unable to handle natively. Technically, the shading features of a GeForce FX 5xxx (NV3x chipset) would be the absolute minimum required to run PlaneShift 0.5.x correctly; but practically, a GeForce 6xxx (NV4x) is a recommended minimum. I've tried a PC with a GeForce FX 5200: It looks okay, but you have a slideshow rather than fluid motion.

looks like you was right about the other card so i found a geforce fx 5700LE laying around now im getting a couple of other problems if you have any ideas drivers are up to date

The transparent heightmap floor is another known issue for GeForce FX cards; it obviously doesn't support a specific OpenGL extension as expected. This is partially a problem with drivers, partially with their support by CrystalSpace as 3D engine. But CrystalSpace developers are not very much interested in supporting "ancient hardware" for rather modern game projects ...
