Title: White Graphics?
Post by: kamori on December 31, 2004, 03:37:54 PM: THE PROBLEM IS FIXED TY ALL FOR THE HELP.....

I have just re-set up my old comp that used to play AHII with no problems except low frame rates. When i run the game now the radio,coffee cup and misc items in the tower and also the cockpit all are white also hangers. I did delete video8.cfg and set fps at 45 also tried to lower the texture size fron 512 to 256. I also changed the screen resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600 and 640x480. Theses changes have made no difference. All other graphics seem to be ok...

The system as follows:

amd thunderbird 1.3 gig cpu
nvidia FX5200 128 Vid(ran on new system up untill x-mas day)
512 mem
Current DX9c

..Ty for the help

Latest Nvidia driver is 66.98 I believe.

Run DXdiag.exe and see what your driver version is and if it's old hit the Nvidia website to download and install the latest driver version.

Post by: OOZ662 on January 01, 2005, 02:51:18 PM: Usually a sure fix: delete that folder called "cache." The WHOLE folder. ;)

If that doesn't work, I've heard Skuzz raving about how he hates nVidia's choice to replace unknown polys with white blobs...

Win2k perhaps?
Have seen the crazy polygon prob in w2k when the service packs aren't installed.
