Strange graphics in CTF FACE/II

hypervigilance · 9th Jun 2000, 04:47 PM

After I applied the 420 update I sometimes see odd graphics in CTF Face. Instead of a galaxy in space I see a block of 'skin' - a head and shoulders of odd skins. I asked during the match if anyone else sees this, but they said no. I think they are pulling my leg but I have gotten the same response on several different servers. I also get other graphics corruption - where I normally see statements (the text of the taunts, etc) I get colored blocks. Any ideas?

Make sure you have the latest drivers
for you videocard installed.
And check for DirectX/Glide updates too..

BTW, i usually get this sort of stuff
when i overclock my videocard to much,
and gets overheated. (Perhaps your cooling
fan broke down?)

I'll get some screenshots and post a link to them.

-- I can't get the images to load so follow the URL above. This is the mild stuff. I get really weird stuff on Pulse Arena CTF Face - I'll take screen shots when available, but this will start. BTW - I have the latest vid drivers from ATI. I'm not overclocking. Case temp is cool.

What do you mean Morety? Broken link hype?
The images wouldn't load. Maybe user error but what difference does it make? Follow the URL text I posted - and grow the F**K up,
kid!

Dude, chill out.

He was shortening your name, not saying you were hyping something. "hypervigilance", shortened to "hype".

Looks like your texture files are corrupted. Have you been messing with the textures to make space-type skins?
Anyway, copy all the .utx files from the CD over the files on your hard drive to make sure they are good, then re-install the inoxx map pack to make sure those files are clean.
