LinMintzer Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Hi,I'm using a notebook with an Intel HD 3000 graphic card, Intel Core I5 2430M processor and Linux Mint 12 (64 Bit) on it. I just installed 0AD and checked out the functionality. Unfortunately I had to detect a graphical fault: Around some 3D-Objects and almost every building I built is an ugly gray rectangle:Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Is the Intel graphic card the reason?Edit: Here is a bigger version of the picture: Screenshot Edited February 18, 2012 by LinMintzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 It seems like it's due to your graphics card/the drivers for your graphics card. Where the gray rectangles are should be decals (2D images overlaid over the terrain to help make it look like the buildings are really in the world). I'd suggest first trying to see if there is a newer/better version of the drivers for your graphics card, that's hopefully going to fix it (unless the graphics card doesn't support the underlying features we use to display the decals in which case I'm not sure there is much to do, hopefully that's not the case though as it obviously can run the game in general ).

Ykkrosh Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, the problem is the decals' clamp-to-border textures (the border should be transparent, not that greyish colour), which I assume is a driver bug. What driver version are you currently using? ("glxinfo|grep OpenGL" should say.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirectGL Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Exact same problem with an Intel HD 3000 graphic card, on a mobile core i3 processor.Tested with a 64bit Ubuntu 11.04 with the same driver.No modified option in "$HOME/.config/0ad/config/local.cfg" was able to resolve it.~$ glxinfo |grep OpenGLOpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, IncOpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel® Sandybridge Mobile OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20OpenGL extensions:Is it possible to fix it without changing any driver ?

FeXoR Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) They only occur for me at the beginning of placement.I got a ATI Radeon Xpress 1200.It seams to me it is because the objects are loaded more slowly.But since it occurred in the same revision (11291) the game did run much more smoothly, I think it's because the objects are loaded more dynamically.Before this revision I simply used the alpha8 and it didn't happen there..I installed a new driver, too, but it still doesn't happen in alpha8 for me.For me the gray shape disappears after a few seconds.

While they are being converted they show up as grey squares. The next time you see them they're already converted and thus loads faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectGL Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ok, I can confirm it's something else for FeXoR with his ATI, I've just tested the Alpha 9 (11290) and it's not solving the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocompile Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have the same problem. Drivers are newest avalible on my distro. Could you add an option to work around this? "allow buildings to float y/n" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectGL Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Today I don't have this problem anymore (11582-development version) !Nevertheless I don't see any difference between a game with the shadow mode option enabled and a map without it.It is not a problem for me if it's the reason why the bug is fixed Thanks a lot !

You might have disabled shadows by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectGL Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) No I didn't changed any kind of setting.When I enabled shadows, the game did look the same.It might be a new thing since I changed my "headers" .deb packet in my linux distribution. So it can be an Intel's driver problem, or be related to my brand new kernel...Now I use Linux 3.2.0 and glxinfo|grep OpenGL give me :OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, IncOpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel® Sandybridge MobileOpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.0.2OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30Sorry for not having more information.
