Sounds like a video card / driver issue.

Yep video card. SH4 had a similar issue. What card do you have?

Do you use mods? People have reported the square flames in Ailantd's mod.

Was suffering the same with SHIII using some SH4 effect mod, turned out the alpha channel's black wasn't completely black on the graphic files which made the square appear.

Erm, you get a weird yellow / purple lense flare effect on bright lights - is that what you mean?

furby · 03-09-10, 05:35 PM

no...its sort of surrounds the flame...and moves with flame like a big box...but you can see through it and see the flames inside.

GXF 275 with 9.34 drivers

WIN 7 64 bit

MODS-

ALI-smoke
ALI-clouds
ALI-deckwave

Capthelm lighting and audio

any ideas?

I think a screenshot would help

. Sounds weird.

its the Ail's Smoke mod. Disable it for now, hes coming up with a fix.
