I'm getting an odd graphical glitch in db-Cube in both 1.9b and 2.0. This affects the banners at the top of the side walls. When at a certain angle, some of the banner disappears. The extent to which it disappears depends on what angle I'm at. When running I can get an effect like the one shown in this lovely animation:



For the most part, the banner displays correctly. It also seems to only affect the banners when I'm in the red half. I never had this problem with my Geforce4, and has only come up with my Radeon 9800 Pro (I knew I should have stuck with NVIDIA ).

I've tried playing with the graphics settings and different ATI drivers, all to no avail. Anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any ideas how I can fix it?

wow.. that crowd sure is wild! they are doing the robot for 5 minutes now! .. btw I have the same, doesnt bug me tho

ive seen that crowd on fire from time to time too.. thoguth it was an easter egg

he means the gameservers.net banner dude :p

most of the time its where your graphics card cant figure out if it should be behind or over the wall, i find my new 9600 does this a "little" more then the 9200 did (the 9200 was an official ati version)

would be fixed by moving it away from the wall by a few units

I reported the exact same thing when I was tessting 1.9 beta, and it was fixed, maybe in 1.9b it went wrong again.

Yeh it happens a lot in UT

OT: As for drivers Diab, have you tried Omega drivers?
Great tools And a tad bit more stable :>

hm onge, must be some driver/gfxcard or so problem
what do you have, and at what resolution do you run?

RaGe and Sixty also say they get it...But I'm using ATI CATALYST Windows XP 4.4 drivers at 1024x768. But as I said in my original post, I've tried different browsers and resolutions and the problem persists.

Many moons ago when I made some Quake maps I got a similar problem when textures from two surfaces occupied the exact same space. The way around this was to move one surface 1 unit in front of the other one. Would Diab's suggestion of moving the banners 1 unit from the sidewall work?

I appreciate this is not a fault in your map making, but as it seems to affect ATI users maybe this little change in your map could solve the problem?

Strange, I'm an ATI user and I don't get the problem.

I've been getting it for a long time..it's especially noticable in greenbaize and it's posters.

Moving the banners/posters whatever just a few units forward like Diab said would solve it probably

Quake's engine handles textures totally different than UT, don't think you can compair this

btw: I'm using Omega drivers 2.5.36a based on CATALYST 4.4

The plot thickens...

I was thinking of trying the Omega drivers Messy mentioned but as this doesn't make any difference, I won't bother.

Omega drivers are just repackaged ATI drivers anyway, hard to see how they'd fix the problem.

The only thing I can think of is z-buffer depth but unless you've changed it from the default it shouldn't be an issue.

Moving the banners away from the wall would definately fix it (probably).

i get this glitch too btw...

radeon 9800 pro
some catalyst driver
1024*768 ingame on holy shit settings :O




had this problem with my geforce3 in other unreal-engine games too though

i have the same problem.
i also have a radeon 9800 pro and the res 1024*768
