Title: Terrain ripping...the children are the ones who suffer
Post by: TheWobble on February 15, 2001, 03:34:00 AM

ok maby the kids will be ok BUT look at this.

  (http://www.geocities.com/thewobblepage/rip.jpg)  

see the lines on the terrain, they jump all over the place like that, whats going on here, it started after I  "upgraded" to Win ME

sys:
T-Bird 800
128mb pc-133
V5 5500
 Ah run at 1024x768x32@2xFSAA
Zbuff and trip buff disabled, but it doesent matter what I set them at, it is still there.

my best guess is that Nvidia made the drivers Im using   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

P.S. I have no problems on any other game, just AH.

EDIT: if yer wondering why I posted this here, its because I put it in "bug reports" and never got any replies.

A few suggestions.  

1. Get the last version of the driver for your V5-5500.
2. Set your refresh rate to 85hz
3. Fly more, post less

I remember something (posted in the Hardware and Software forum) about problems regarding AH and the Vodoo5500 chipset. You can try a search there.

I got the latest NEW NEW NEW drivers (unsupported drivers) and it looks MUCH better, no ripping at all and I got an extra 3fps outta it, also the latest offers "dynamic refresh rate optamization" which is prolly where the FPS came from.

You mean the last official 3DFX beta's, or the x3DFx drivers?  I'm using the last official betas and they work flawlessley.
