Latest patch (...29)
D3D
1) Dover's cliffs are flickering
2) vertical texture on cliffs is displayed slower than other ones without Anti-Aliasing activated.
3)Sea seems very unsharp
4) I'm flying in a square world. No fog?

OGL
1) can see a darker edge of ground textures when flying high (also in X-Plane)
2)I'm flying in a square world. No fog?
3) slow/hang with explosions, gun firing (maybe soundcard related needs further checking).

I'm posting a few screenies because I'm stuck with a few problems I can't fix and have lost complete faith from SDOE.

The red circles are showing an incorrect texture display as if the antialiasing was made with large square textures at first and then become smoother.
On the coast edge, there are some troubles with the textures, they show lines.

On this one you will notice the bridge isn't complete and is presenting the same smoothing problem than the bunkers.

It happens with any drivers.

Current: Radeon drivers 5.13.01.3224 beta, Win 2000 SP1, Radeon Vivo 64 mb, 384 mb RAM.

Any help appreciated

The bridge and cliffs aren't a card problem, it's a problem with the D3D rendering engine.

How well does the Radeon handle OpenGL? THat fixes that problem. However, some cards experience a problem with the fog rendering in OpenGL. THe patch team has solved that and said it will be included in a later release.

Good grief though. As good as the FM's are getting and with all the add-ons coming out, this seems like a pretty small thing to be "losing faith in SDOE" over. Of course, if we had flat terain like EAW, that wouldn't be a problem

On the gun sounds- if you're using some of the 16bit stereo sounds, they chew up a lot of processor time. Another cause of this is running low on available memory.

I have to give OpenGl another another try now that i have fixed the fog settings.

Thanks to both of you.

I miss my Voodoo2 there wasn't any problem with it but the low 12 mb VRam.

Normal bug- I like that!

Is there to solve that:
or is a known NORMAL bug? ;p

Thanks,
