White ships? (GWX 1.02)

Pevs86 · 02-27-07, 10:02 AM

Been playing GWX for afew days now and love it, it's completely rekindled my love for SHIII, to be honest I think I'll even keep SHIII and IV installed symultaniously.

BUT

The only bug I have, it white ships. About 25% of all my Merchant ships (Tankers, Passengers, Tugs) will render completely white.

It's only started happening since GWX was installed (I've only just gotten it alongside the 1.02 release)

So what I'm wondering is, is it a common problem and more to the point is there a fix?

wow

that looks cool! looks like its got some sorta cloaking device thats only half working. i think i read somewhere another person having this problem. i think i remember someone suggested ajusting the AA and adaptive AA settings in the gfx card? i think this only applies to ATi though

Seems like the game cant load the ship´s hull textures. :hmm:

On a GeForce 6800 :\

I just wonder if there isn't a config file that'll let me tell the game to load a different texture file (one that exists, preferably

)

Thanks for the imput so far guys

I'm not an expert on this stuff but I would suggest you get the latest drivers for your card.

Pevs86 · 02-27-07, 01:33 PM

Yea, am on latest drivers, thanks anyway

What are your graphic settings on the game? (texture quality specifically).

They arent just all white, you can have tan and gray.....I got em after screwing up the Dec23rd patch.....i got rid of everything and reloaded, but now with the V.102.....everything is back to normal.......of course not being a computer person, I always assume it's my fault. It usually is!

So a complete fresh instal and GWX + 1.02 could fix it?

Only 6 patrols into my current career so not a biggy.

Well, it worked for me......I think I missed rolling back SH3Commander when I loaded Dec 23rd patch, thats when I noticed the white merchants (I only saw the large merchants like that)......I'm sure the gurus on this forum will sort it out, but if nothing else works, a fresh reload might work for you too.

Top man, I uninstalled everything and scraped it off my HDD and so far no ghost ships... probably should have tried a fresh instal before posting here...

Either way, ty
