Patch 1 Horizon flashing
« on: October 21, 2003, 01:14:41 PM »
I posted about this with the initial release, but haven't seen anyone else mention it, so will post again since I still have the problem.




The anomoly flashes geometric patterns continuously while in cockpit.
Screenshots are using settings from "Test4" of frame rate thread, but artifact is also present in tests 1-3 settings on my rig:

Intel Pentium III, ~860MHz
512MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902)
RADEON 8500 SERIES; Display Memory: 63.0 MB with Catalyst 3.7

Well, yeah, if you turn off the feature where the artifact is occuring, (e.g. the horizon), it will indeed go away.  :rolleyes:

Thanks, Sarge, I must have missed the post(s) where the problem was acknowledged.  Just wanted to make sure HTC was aware of it or if I was the only one getting it.

The new 3.8 Drivers seem to work a lot better for AHII on my system.

Maybe work good for you?
