Graphics Issue !

Postby Mogwai 333 » Wed Sep 23, 2009 12:58 pm

I am running Priboi Story 1.1 with 1.004 patch,
with fixes 1.003.

It runs correctly except for this problem-
The weapons are not visible in player`s hands!
All except the knife.Bolts and binnoculars are visible too.
Weapons are working fine,just don`t see them.
Cars and other objects are at times visually distorted and deformed.
Some kind of texture disorder.

I am running it on ATI Radeon 9550

I`ll be very thankful for the explanation and any solution.

hi :)

this is the first time i heard something like that. more or less im sure its not caused by the mod, since we didnt edit shaders, and anything which could cause graphics errors... i could say, try to refresh vga drivers, or revert back to an older one.

about no wpn in hands... also new for me. when you experience this, quit, and upload the xray_username.log file for us, and we might find some info. also try to delete your user.ltx and start the game again.

EDIT:
i asked a teammate, who had similar issues but in vanilla game....

where you didnt see the weapon in your hand
Gr1ph00n ‎(14:49):

but it was vanilla
dez ‎(14:49):
and what caused it?

i dunno, i remember i had "single_player" is outside the sector error too
i remember i reinstalled it and then it worked
"


but first of all, just try to delete user.ltx and then see if that helps. :)

Thanks for a quick reply!

I deleted the user.ltx,that didnt do it.
Im gonna see what i can do with the drivers,and let you know,pretty sure also its not the mod`s problem,even though SOC and Oblivion lost worked fine
on this same configuration.

AT LAST !
:D


I got it to work,and works great.Cant stop looking at these new weapons :mrgreen:
Like you said it was something to do with the drivers.Installed the 9.8 version of Ati Catalyst drivers,and it worked.By the way that was the fourth one i tryed,and only one that worked.

Thanks so much for the help!

And by the way..... : A GREAT MOD !!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

This is a different issue I'm having, but I figured I'd tack it onto the end of this topic, rather than create another "Graphics issue" thread. :wink:

I often get a weird shadow appearing at the edge of the screen. The best way
I can describe it, is a big "serrated triangle." I suspect it's either an issue with Skygraphics, or with vanilla SoC itself, but I didn't notice it when I played the un-modded game, and I can't find any information about the issue. The biggest downside is that I'm constantly whipping my mouse around to see what's approaching me from the left or right, only to realize it's just that damned shadow again! :oops:

Anyone seen something similar?

Thanks!

it can be a lot of things. possibly your vga driver does not like the shader pack you use for stalker. you might try to play without the sky4ce mod, or you can try the latest 2.0 rc4.1 version.

BTW, was just doing some more boredom-induced trolling around the old form posts, and realized that the shadow problem I'm having, is exactly the same one that "Daniel Von Rommel" posted.

Here's the original thread:

http://priboi-story.extra.hu/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=117

And here's the image itself:

(See the upper right of the picture.)

I agree that it's hard to see the problem in the static image, but it's totally obvious while you're moving around.

Skygraphics 2.0 didn't help. :( (Although it sure looks nice!) Oh well, no big deal. It's probably something to do with my video drivers and/or cards. (Catalyst 9.10 with 2x Radeon 4890 OC, for the record.)

Thanks again!

nice rig :D

well dinamic shadows bugs can be caused mostly by vga drivers, since we didnt edit anything in shaders, nor in the engine... its simply impossible that the mod causes it.

edit: well actually, we re-enabled sun, because in vanilla game there is no sun, only sky blooming! so maybe the real sun, which has sun shadows and triggers other shadows can cause this, which you would see in vanilla game too, if it would have sun.

Thanks! :mrgreen: I haven't yet made the leap to a X58 and Core i7 - still using X38 and a Core 2 Duo at 4GHz - but it gets the job done! (The dual overclocked 4890's help a lot!)

Anyway, I made a quick video of the glitch, which can be viewed here:

Maybe I'll try turning off "real sun." Can that be accomplished via the in-game slider, or will I need to root around in the gamedata folder?

Thanks again, and in case I haven't mentioned it recently, I'm REALLY loving the mod! Can't wait for Lost Alpha! :D

you need to edit config files.

go to gamedata\config\weathers\ and find "weather_default.ltx" or something like that.

open it with some text editor, and see this for each hour:

flares = xxxxxxxxx

remove the name of flares (marked as xxxxxxx above) for each hour, so the line should look like:

flares =


this way, game wont load the flares, so there wont be sun at all in game. this way it will be darker a bit too...

if you might want to turn them on again, make a copy of that file before you edit it .)

thats all.
