After a while, only the map is shown

Post by Burnsys »

It only happens when i play, on line or single player. It doesn't happens when i am spectating.

After 5 or 10 minutes of play, everything disappear, units, structures UI, only the terrain is shown. when this happens, i can still hear sounds, and select units etc, the game keeps running, it's some kind of graphical problem.

I have:

Win Xp sp3
Intel P4 2.8
ATI RAdeon 9500 with omega drivers 3.8.442
1.7GB RAM

I have tried setting all graphical settings to low, deactivated shadows, lua shadders, etc.

What could it be?

Fixed with this:

Here's a workaround. In cmdcolors.txt , simply comment out or remove the following lines:
Code:
stipplePattern 0xffcc
stippleFactor 1
stippleSpeed 1.0

Ok, the problem was when i used shift to queue constructions with a construction vehicle, but now it is happening when i use CTRL to Draw a Formation in the map, everything disappears, only the map remains, to solve this i have to blind select the commander and draw a new formation, then everything reappears..

It's really annoying

A possible solution could be trying different driver versions.
