Graphics Anomaly - Anyone know what's causing these patches?

Post by **Gunner** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 8:50 pm

Yesterday for the first time, I started getting colored patches on aircraft - today they were yellow, yesterday light blue...

It is very intermittent, and isn't there when playing back the track. Anyone seen this?

BTW LD -
I know I'm out of position - just trying to get a good shot of the patches

(I knew that's the first thing you would think of

LOL!!!

You know me too well...

Looks like a graphics issue. I'm assuming you've been altering your resolution and more lately. First thing I'd do is uninstall and reinstall the mod with LoMan, then check your graphics.cfg file found in the "\Lock-On\config" folder and make sure your resolution is correctly listed. Below are my settings. I have a 1680 x 1050 widescreen display, so my aspect is 1.6. If you have something different it should list that or you can edit the file in notepad.

Code: Select all

DisplayMode
{
    resolution = {1680, 1050};
    bpp = 32;
    fullscreen = 1;
    aspect = 1.6;
    Interface
    {
        resolution = {1680, 1050};
        bpp = 32;
        fullscreen = 1;
        aspect = 1.6;
    }
    Simulation
    {
        resolution = {1680, 1050};
        bpp = 32;
        fullscreen = 1;
        aspect = 1.6;
    }
    AVI
    {
        resolution = {640, 480};
        fullscreen = 0;
        aspect = 1.3333;
    }
}

If this does not solve it and reinstalling the mod, we'll have to dig further, but any graphics anomalies are usually fixed by plugging back in a fresh copy of the config files, but more importantly the mod! Also, if you've been messing around with additional cfg or lua files, go back and undo the changes one step at a time...

Just to narrow things down those two areas are where the grey United States star used to be. Its a seperate file from the skin itself, I replaced it with a clear substitute.

Dropping a fresh copy of the NOMERA.tga from our mod into the temp textures will help narrow things down. Though regardless of the outcome I'd still parrot LD that a reinstall of the mod is in order.

Thanks guys!!!
I did the reinstall and it seems to have done the trick. They weren't showing up on every sortie, but I've made five sorties since with no problem.
