DD_Brando Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 A buddy of mine reports this issue too, BG, so I'll ask him if he still has it. Get back to you.... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks Brando. The first constructive post! No fun being surrounded by peasants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 The purple thing is the game engine reaction to a texture problem, you can see it sometimes on bad models and some cracks when using the 6DOF. There could be an issue with the texture, due to corruption, but check your texture settings in the il2 config. The compression thing should be set to the S3 thing.

Blairgowrie Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Great Jedi! Changing Texture compression to S3 makes the purple darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 7, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well, at least it's a change. I think Jedi could be onto something with a texture problem. I occasionally get the same thing on one of the Spitfires (one of the original ones, not a frankenplane), although it goes as soon as the countdown finishes. Have you tried an older gfx card driver to see if the same problem exists? Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I am using the Cat 7.11's Jabo, generally regarded as the best drivers for the X1950XTX in Crossfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have to confess I know next to nothing about ATI drivers, being a confirmed nVidiaphile, but I'd be inclined to start there. I had lots of stability problems with my 9800GTX to start with and updating solved them all. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 No change after reinstalling video drivers. Can I reinstall the Swordfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Checkmods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Unlikey to be a card issue then especially as you're running the best of the bunch anyway. As Jedi says, checkmods would find any missing/incorrect files. If you want to 'reinstall' the Swordfish, just delete its folder before running CM. Have you had this problem before Jim?

Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I ran Feckmods a couple of weeks ago but will run it again. I'll delete the folder for Swordfish first. Not had this problem before Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Bugger. I can be on TS if you want Jim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Let me try the other stuff first Nick. Excuse my ignorance but where do I find the file for the Swordfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Stand by EDIT - Sorry Jim, can't find it right now - thought I knew where it was but can't seem to locate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have to go into town for a few hours so will check back later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 rgr, I'll work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 dohdohdohdohdohDOH! Of course, given that we're using UP2.0 all the modded aircraft are now built into the sfs files, not in the MODS folder. GAAAAAH! That's two hours of my life I won't get back... feckin mods, feckin computers, feck, feck, feckity feck feck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 8, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 There's no need to delete any files before running CheckMods If any files got messed up, CheckMods will see them, and replace them... with fresh and good copies ones... (Well, 'good' ... just as good as they were when I put them there...) Maybe a skin-issue? (I dunno, just thinkin' out loud, it couldn't be, as the sky wouldn't be skinned now would it?)

2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi FT, you're right of course that CheckMods will replace any missing/damaged files with good ones from the blueprint, I just thought that removing the Swordfish first represented a more 'complete' replacement of a faulty mod. In any case, the mod cannot be removed simply by deleting the files (as we could with AAA UI for example) so running CM again is probably the best option. Why I'm doing this while I should be revising is a measure of just how dull an MCSE can get. Back to Advanced Networking I suppose. I kid you not, this book is A4 sized and an inch and a half thick. And that's just the Advanced Networking exam, there's another six to go. It might not be possible to die of boredom, but I'm definitely giving it a go.

Blairgowrie Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ran feckmods version 134 but the problem is still there. I will install the game from scratch on my backup computer and see if that makes any difference. It has a Nvidea 7950GTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 8, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Rgr - I'm out of ideas in any case. Let us know how you get on BG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
