Hi,

do you use 16-bit color depth? Try to use 32-bit. This
changes the z-buffer also.

Bye,
Alex

Rule of thumb: always try new drivers to solve any graphical glitches. ;)

There is a new official and final Detonator version: 28.32 Final - available here www.nvidia.de/view.asp?PAGE=drivers - maybe it solves your problems...

just changed the resolution up to 1000* whatever and then works and you can see the building all you are seeing is the interior, funnily enough next time at the lower resolution it works OK. I have a TNT2 as well

on the mac verison it woud appear that no graphic options may be changed - freezes. if you click 'apply' game freezes if you click 'ok' the game resets to default.

im running G4 733 - normal configuration macos9.2.2

WILL -

What board are you running? Multiple boards/displays on your machine? Do you have the latest drivers?

I've certainly switched in and out of fullscreen (with different windowed and fullscreen res) with no problems recently.

Email me offline (tge@mac.com) with your full specs, and what you are changing that's causing a problem, and I'll try it out here. But haven't heard any other reports as yet.

On the mac version, it doesn't crash(for me atleast) it just doesn't take any mouse input and my "fix" for this it to go out to the finder(cmd-tab) and then go back to RealmWars. It works for me...
