You want us to fix a test app?

Sudz,

I would rather have the bug fixed before the release of the long awaited patch. The phenomenon also occurs in our current client.

Now if your asking me what I want... :t

Keep up the great work HTC. :aok



:rofl

 :P

Ok, there is a new gtester available.  You can download it here.

http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/gtester3.zip

This should fix the water.  If you were running gtester before and seeing the normal (not low detail) terrain but not seeing the water, we'd like to make sure that you can now see the water.  Please report any other anomalies that you see in this version.  Thanks.

<EDIT>  It appears that full screen mode is not working in this version, so we'll just need you to do your testing in a window.

Pyro, are you sure you have enough sub folders in the latest download?

Kazaa, there should only be one subfolder.  There are some other subfolders that get created after you run it.

Woah, those are some major changes.

Pyro,

Any reason why the textures look so different?

I feel HTC was going in the right direction with gtester1, it looked nicely detailed, maybe just a bit to much farm land. The colours were also much richer, gtester3 seems to be the complete opposite.

Pyro,
The Gtester3 folder is under Documents and Settings\Pyro\Desktop in the new .zip.

I like them, especially the new 'bump' pattern. It's a bit darker all around but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Only thing about the updated version is that the oceans look like dirty toilet water.

Crossfire HD2600XT.

despite the full screen crash, the water is showing in gtester3 and looks very good.

the evening lightning is nice, but the sun is showing thru the hills.
