New Build graphica error

[.keJ]

When rotating wedges/tetras/pentas the image errors out and creates a massive line of pizes that cut across my screen at roughly a 45 degree angle. It also obscures the new rotated image.



This only happens with cartoon and realistic textures as far as I know so far. Still trying to see if I can fix it on my side.

This happens in old style graphcs as well so I can\'t even escape this bug rendering any attempt at building useless.



I run zero mods and at a controlled state and have a fresh install to the newest update so I guess I am stuck no building anything till this bug is fixed.

Graphics card is up to date as well.

Do you think you could show a screen shot to better explain the problem please?

this needs:
- screens
- maybe settings.cfg
- exact video card name (+installed driver)
- OS

Maybe try disabling VBO-Bulk mode in advanced settings, since this fixed a few issues with older cards yet.

there is no exact video card name. It is a generic name on a laptop. I will give it you you but it won\'t help. Also, I do not have that level of control on my card.



Before I posted screen shots I wante to make sure someone was watching.



Brb with images.

Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics driver 9.17.10.3040

OS Windows 8

The graphics card is as up to date as it can be so there is little use telling me to update it.



Also, everthing ran in the last version perfectly. I had zero bugs that would have carried over.

The origin of that plane seems to be the orientation preview,
is it just the screenshot or is this bogus plane attached to it?

Try disabling vbo-bulk-mode in advanced settings. Or fullscreenmode
No other ideas about it else.

That is attached to the box



I don\'t have that level of control on my card.



Also, I already run in windowed mode as I can\'t run in full screen because when I alt tab out of the game it likes to crash which is attributed to my generic card and I accept. If I have to play in full screen I can\'t do it and this update will have rendered the game unplayable to me.

You could still try to reduce the overall stress to the card, by

turning shadows off,
procedural background off or to 1024 resolution
using the texture packs in lowest resolution (128)
maybe try enabling fix framerate / vsync

That alt+tab crash is happening at my computer only in case the resolution is not matching my desktop resolution, in this case starmade sometimes just hangs up and wont go back to fullscreen.

Shadows off

Procedural background off

Already tested the pack at its lowest resolution and bug still existed

Vsync is off for performance reasons





On a side note I used Kupu\'s cartoon texture pack a long while ago and had ZERO problems on this computer. It wasn\'t until this update that the error has happened.

I see what you are talking about with VBO now. Let me try it.



Hopefully that will work.

This has existed since the first prebuild or near that time, for me. I guess I never bugreported this. I figure it\'s just the intel graphics, and it only seems to happen when advanced build mode is up. It definitely comes from the rotation panel.

 

[.keJ]

Stll happens with vbo turned off so...



I guess I just don\'t get to build anything until this gets fixed, if it ever does?



I crutch on wedges alot...and the pentas and tetras were exactly what I was waiting on. Seeing as I can\'t functionally use them I am saddened. Rotating once, placing, and deleting till I have the one I need is ridiculous lol.

 

[.keJ]

Confirmed it worked on my amd/ati desktop so it is probably an intel th8ng.

It still boggles me slightly as it didn\'t exist before the update. Nor when I had Kupu\'s pack installed before the update either.

Nothing SHOULD have changed to cause it.

The issue has followed me over to the \"preview block\" option as well



Good fun
