game freeze and video glitch
« on: May 21, 2004, 06:01:08 PM »
Got B33 today and went messing around with it a bit.  First thing I ran into was a video glitch with the text buffer and readio windows.  Whenever I expand or shrink the text buffer it's redrawn completely white, then the buffer tiles in like it should be.  Same happens with the readio text bar and the vox list box when I bring up the readio to type something.  Also whenever I load into the game everything comes up a colored box then renders in like it should.. like the ctrl+i info for fps/memory etc is a block of green lines for a couple seconds.

Got everything adjusted on my pony and fired the engine and took off.  Needed to turn down the engine volume, so went to it on the clipboard.  Soon as I clicked on engine in the list so I could adjust it the game froze.  Did ctrl+alt+del to get the task manager and had a window pop up saying AH had crashed and an error log was created.  Tried it a couple more times, in the tower, otr engine off, otr engine at idle, and rolling for take off w/ engine at full throttle but didn't get the freeze again.

You need to update those FX video drivers.  I think the latest ones are 61.xx
