Shawdow or Lighting Problems w/ Night Maps

=sealz=StOBeR · 2006-09-06, 15:56

Hey,
I was hoping I could get some feedback with a problem I was having only when I played Shaqri Night and Strike At Karkand Night...

The game play is fine no lag or anything but some of the buildings are pitch black untile I walk right up to them and move the mouse around....

I know most of you are going to jump and say your video card sucks....which could be true...I have the ATI x1600 Pro 256mb......

Thats the biggest AGP (yes I know Im probally the only one still running agp) they make....

Please shoot me some info if you could...thanks

no it's a bug with PRMM v0.31. We have made an attempt to fix it with v0.4, but need more testing on the fix to confirm if it's addressed the issue.

The problem *should* go away if you run dynamic shadows on Medium or lower (as noted in the readme).

Sry eggman.....didn't mean to make it sound like it was a bug with PRMM.....I know it's on my computer...I was just thinking this is the place where I could get some helpful info on what might correct it. Thanks again mate.

no need to be sorry heh .. it's actuyally *is* a bug with PR, the workaround being to run dynamic shadows on medium.

I hope we've fixed it with v0.4, we've made some changes to the night maps that should make them more night like as well as .. I hope .. address this black texture issue.
