Black artifacts in the sky

Lets hope this "Cloaking Device" as it's called doesn't fall into Allied hands...at least until we finish building our super secret undreground drilling machine ,that Adolph Hitler will drive himself under the Earth's crust directly into the Untited States ! Boy will the US be surprised once "Operation Subway" gets underway !!!
Then of course.. we'll have to deal with their pesky American superheroes but hey.. one thing at a time !

I have just started getting this as well. New computer with 8800GT, fresh install of SH3 and GWX2. Using 16km, 3d waves. Noticeable flashed black boxes when the weather is good , but not when it rains...

On my old PC with 9800XT and GWX1.3 at 8km I did not see this. Need to experiment more as I'm new (again) to Nvidia.

Sounds similiar to the "forgot to roll back SHCommander and activate the GWX16k atmos mod" problem



But ya not to specific on what mods ya running

:hmm:

Hi,

I have this little problem too.

This is a problem with the 8800 series and the drivers. I can't get rid of it. I learned to live with


In my older rig, with ATI card, no such problems.

Thanks Badger but this was a fresh install of everything on a new PC so it was the first time running the 16k mod. Have since rolled back and re-run anyway for another mod (antennas lowered) and the problem persists.

Just as for Marko_Ramius, my old ATI rig never had the problem. To my mind it's either the new 8800GT, its drivers or possibly the 16km mod. As not everyone using the 16km mod has the problem I'm thinking it's either the card or more likely its drivers. Or perhaps the way I've got it set up as it's a bit different to the Catalyst Control Center I'm used to .

I too could live with it if need be as otherwise the card is very, very good!

As for GWX 2.0 I had my first contacts last night. Chased down two merchants off Portugal only to find they had their Christmas lights on - Irish neutrals!

Same problem here . With out 16km it works fine except in the sun were I can still see it.

I used to have this when playing on my laptop, it was a problem with the radeon 9200 series (and now i guess the 8800s too), where polys would dissapear from the sky dome leaving a black triangle.

Try DLing the shIV scene.dat mod as it fixed the problem for me (its in the forum somewhere)

Yep. I was afraid of that.

The 8000 series Nvidia cards appear to not play well with SH3. The trend was emerging with user complaints that related to GWX... but we had altered/modded nothing with the environmental effects that would cause graphic anomalies (black triangles) as described in a number of places.

Though it answers a question that repeatedly comes up... it is sad to see it happen for so many users.

That's strange. I'm on an 8600 GTS 256 MB and I've not had that problem for some reason...

Aw well. Vanilla SH3 was made in 2005. A pity that so much came out in 2006 that changed gaming. It doesn't support dual cores nor does it like some of the more advanced cards.

I have a 64-bit dual core setup and have not had a single issue as a result. Don't you mean Windows Vista?

My 7900/GS does the same thing with the new drivers. (163.75)

Thanks for this little fix. I just put it in and it is a nice improvement. Thanks, again.
