flickering foliage
okay i turned off triple buffer and dithering, and that fixed a lot of problems, but now leaves and branches and the like flicker in and out of the game world. tree trunks and buildings and crates and other objects like that don't, just those branches and bushes and stuff... anyone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, it appears to be a problem with newer cards. Just out of curiousity, how's your card's antialiasing set? Even though Direct3D uses it, I doubt that it has anything to do with problems, just curious.

It happens to be a problem with trespasser itsself. It dosn't like the newer video cards, but sometimes you can fix this problem by rolling back you video drivers. And the reason this happens only to branches and plants it that they are only one sided, so if you look underneath a plant or tree you will see that it is not visable. It dose it too all objects but, since only some are one sided you don't see this disappearing effect.

Interesting, but I don't think that I agree with the conclusion that branches/leaves are one-sided. They're missing depth, perhaps, but the faces are there. If you're looking for a commonality then I'd say go with the fact that most of those objects use opacity mapped textures.
I'm no expert on this subject either, so it seems that several arguments have valid points --

Dan, you sound disappointed!Dapper Dan wrote:....Under Linux in hardware with the same card, no N.C.S anywhere.
Smellron, (may I call you smellron? lol (apologies, I have been drinking!)) seems alot of people report the same problems with the G4. Eh, there's nothing wrong with playing in SW Mode, I just happen to like HW's appearance more.

LOL! Having a scotch right now myself Rebel! I guess you could say I am disappointed. I have no NCS and beautifully rendered graphics in hardware which is equal to, and might even surpass anything I ever got running under Windows, and I can't enjoy it because of the freeze up problem associated with animate objects! What a pisser!

Well, I'm seventy five and I think Dan's about sixty eight.
