Graphics programs (GPU Problems)

[Shizzle]

Hi

 

I used to play ET a number of years ago (several years on end). I missed the game and reinstalled it today. First I had some issues with my GUID, but thanks to your ETKey generator I solved that.

 

However, there's also another issue: in game, everything runs fine, except for parts of the landscape that are completely black, white or grey, and sometimes wrong textures are displayed.

 

I'm figuring this is a GPU issue, so I checked my drivers but they're up to date. Could someone point me towards a solution?

 

My specs in short:

 

Win7 x86

ATI Radeon HD5470

 

I suppose CPU doesn't really matter, and I've got plenty of RAM. I could provide those if needed, though. I can also put on a screenie if needed.

Fixed title :)

Of course the title shouldn't say "Graphics programs" though -__-'

[ferkel]

It looks like this? A friend had the same problem, try other cfg grahipc settings

Yes please ^^^ all of them (especially SS)

 

Also it would be helpfull to post your Game config (\\Enemy Territory\etmain\Autoexec.cfg - open it with wordpad)

 

ty

 

 

Edit:

 

please make also a Condump (take a look here if you dont know how)

[Shizzle]

I can't do it now, but I'll look for it tomorrow

 

@ferkel: it might have some similarities, but it's hard to say (because the texture quality in your example is so low). Most pieces seem to display properly, it's only on some maps (stock maps so far, none in Special Delivery) that patches here and there show a wrong texture. And the weapons are all shiny and reflect badly. Like quicksilver.

 

In any case, thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I've been active in several boards before, and I'll happily help out others in exchange for your help

 

And I've never heard of condumps before, in the past I always took SS's

[JoeDirt]

Check the temp of gpu with gpuz http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/. Run it then play ET then minimize ET and check. Also a ss would be useful.

[hobbit]

Sounds similar to the bug with one of the ATI card drivers. Not sure if they released a new update to fix in since then but the solution was to roll back the update and use an older version of the driver.

[Glyphz]

Check your ATI Control panel

[Shizzle]

Took these. I'll get an in-game SS next.

And I got this from dxdiag:

I haven't altered my cfg yet, except for some graphics (and that was after I noticed the problem)

I could try using my old cfg, if I can find it.

EDIT: Now I failed to connect. It says something like: "Your client provides invalidate information" Edited October 20, 2011 by Shizzle

[Shizzle]

Today I succesfully connected and played I only did GR, but none of those black patches were to be seen. Looks like this case is closed (though idk why it suddenly works). I'm still getting random kicks on FA Beginners and sometimes "your client provides invalidate information", though.

[TulsaGeoff]

Shizzle from fubar?

[Shizzle]

Not that I know of

[Shizzle]

Okay, I promised to take screenshots. Here goes:

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Note: the issue doesn't always occur. I've played Venice without the problem as well. Same for Goldrush.

[ferkel]

i can't see the pictures. hmm. "no permission" ?

[Shizzle]

That's strange. Well, I noticed the same issue is reffered to in the "Black Textures" thread. I asked for more help there, so I suppose this topic can be locked?
