ATI Problems

by James Laker (BurNinG) · in Constructor · 06/18/2008 (4:07 am) · 1 replies

For some reason this does not want to open up after I installed my ATI (3870)? When running it through Torsion and debugging I get lots of This shouldn't happen - GLxxxxx errors.

Anyone experienced this and managed to fix it?

Forums seems quiet lately...

Thought I'll share this thread that has the solution to people having problems with Ati gchipsets using TGE and Contructor.

The answer is basically to manually change to the following in prefs.cs and defaults.cs
$pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1";

If you still have problems switch to D3D - Although I have found problems with this and it also seems slower:
$pref::Video::displayDevice = "D3D"; //"OpenGL";
$pref::Video::allowD3D = 1;

I found that this works with Vista and XP!
