Title: It's Night time in the TE
Post by: soda72 on September 21, 2006, 04:30:28 PM: I downloaded the TE today and noticed when I try to start a new terrain it is always shows up as dark. Adjusting the time setting does not resolve the issue. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for taking the time to reply...

It will let me add objects, tiles, etc .. but it looks like it's stuck in night time. When I move the time slider it will show up in light for half a second then it will go dark again and flicker.

I recorded what it looks like:

I will try installing it on a different PC....

Unless,....you are using those blasted 9x.xx drivers. Or is it a dual core AMD system without the AMD patch?

Post by: soda72 on September 22, 2006, 06:02:23 PM: yeah it works on my other pc...

It's probably the driver, I did install the dual core patch...

Thanks anyway...

Have a good weekend...
