Graphic Glitches in version 0.7.17.4086
« on: October 21, 2013, 10:38:16 am »

Hey everybody,

is anyone else experiencing glitches in the terrain in the newest version of OT?

Glitches look somewhat like this

system specs are nvidia gforce gtx 670 with 327.23 drivers, intel core i7 and an ssd drive.

Hi! Yes I had some similar problems on my 660gtx with 4086 that finally got resolved
I experienced some white terrain, sometimes black terrain polys and then smearing of the terrain in some polys.
I also tried different nvidia drivers in the troubleshooting to no avail.

This is what helped me:
  • I did a second reinstall of 3960 then starting it using the -noupdate switch (add it to the shortcut or use command line outerra.exe -noupdate) and checked the terrain was ok in 3960.
  • I then closed it and restarted normally which performed the update to 4086.


See here http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=2217.0

I don't know what was wrong, but this helped me. It seemed that going straight to 4086 without starting 3960 messed something up (?) My guess only. Did you upgrade from 3960 or did you also have an earlier version like me?

oh forgot to check back on this one, sorry.
it was indeed the same problem as describes in other posts here in the forum with the ...x1050 resolution. swtiching it to a 16:9 compatible resolution voided the glitches.
sorry for not reading the other posts first.

Np :) Im glad you read the other post because we finally figured out what the problem was.
I think Cameni has fixed it for the next release.
