Hi! I got problem with my graphic card (NVIDIA VANTA 16 MB LT) drivers. Everything was fine on Windows Millenium but on XP pro I got some artifacts on screen in all games. Here I put screens from game.


Anyone could help me with this? I tried with drivers numbers: 40.71, 53.03, 53.04, 61.76, 77.77, 97.02, (older drives don't run). My mainboard is Amptron K7, CPU Duron 700MHZ

My first bit of advice would be to try the current version of GZdoom. You're running 1.0.21 and it's up to 1.0.29.

As for the actual problem, all I know is it looks a lot like a graphical glitch I got with early versions of timmie's ZdoomGL port - but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and almost certainly unrelated.

Man, that sounds like an old graphics card (and a really old CPU!).

But under Windows ME everything working fine.

Bug must be in GZDoom, becouse I test my card in other games and its working well. Even in 3d mode in Doom Builder everything is fine.

Bug must be in the driver because such things don't happen on other cards.

Have you tried to play with the settings in the OpenGL menu, especially texture quality?

Yes, many times. Like I say, in other games OpenGL looks cool.

Funny thing - in sectors with red light everything is fine, but in normal sectors textures looks awfull. Why???

What's the setting for 'texture format in the 'Display Options -> OpenGL Options' menu? And has changing this setting any effect?

I use texture format: RGBA8. In other setting textures have "holes". With RGBA8 looks little better and when I walk in the red-colored sectores, everything looks cool. Any suggestions?

Can you make a few screenshots with texture filtering off? Maybe that way the error pattern is easier to see.

Screenshot with texture filtering off:

This is the weirdest shit I've ever seen. Could you also post your zdoom.ini file. Maybe if I see what options you have turned on I can give some advice. But to be honest, I can't begin to explain what's happening here...

Soon I buy new hardware, because in my opinion something is wrong with card.

Before doing anything else please upgrade to 1.0.29 first. I don't think it will make a difference but this configuration is for an old version I want to make sure that it isn't resolved by one of the changes I made in the mean time.
