  • Strange texture distortion in EQ/Tribes with latest Win2k drivers

    Not a problem...just more of an observation (I know they are beta...)
    There seems to be some sort of weird 'ripple' that passes through textures in both games. It was present in the 5.06 drives but only in Tribes under OGL. Now I have it in EQ under D3D as well. I'm going back to the older drivers to see if that fixes it.
    The effect is kind of like those guns they have in Babylon5 (PPG's?) that kind of send a shockwave through stuff. Kinda cool for about 30seconds, then really annoying
    If they could find a way to do it intentionally, it would be a pretty cool effect in games....

    Yeah, I get it in Asheron's Call too.

    I put in a bug report on the Matrox Forums.

      Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
      My little bro picked up Asheron's Call last week, and just loves it. I think I'll grab a copy myself next week sometime.
