No Sunshine??
 
I just got the game. Everything is great but outside I notice that no matter what time of day it is there is no sunshine or clouds. At night there are stars and also no matter wheather night or day there is this large ok huge round section of sky that is just plain white and it sits on the horizon. Any clues?

Hi mate, and welcome to Subsim!:up::up: Sounds like a texture issue. Do you have any mods installed?

merc4ulfate 02-04-07 03:24 PM

hi
 
I have no mods and no game patches installed

_Seth_ 02-04-07 03:32 PM

What kind of video card do you have, mate?

merc4ulfate 02-04-07 03:46 PM

visiontek radeon 9250 agp with 128 mb on board ram

Update your video card driver. By the way, just FYI, if you wanna play SH4 you need a new card. SH4 requires Pixel Shader 2, yours only has 1.4.

Gizzmoe is correct! :up:

Try this one:

It´s an optimized ATI driver.

Which I believe were straight of the ATI site

patch
 
Thank you all for your suggestions and help, I really appreciate it. Because I have not done it yet I downloaded the game patch from the makers web site. Duh!! I now have blue skies, sunshine, birds and everything else a normal day might bring. Every so often a small black patch appears but I can deal with that as long as I know when I am exposed in daylight and when I am not. I also saw my driver version as 6.14.10.0310.

Thanks again

Yeah, I get those black triangles too, it's an ATI issue I think.
