Weird Black boxes when bombing(Chicken Defense)

Post by Pithikos »

Whenever I play Chicken Defence I get this result when bombing:

There appear those black boxes and don't have a clue what they are. My first thought is that there should be a picture and maybe spring can't find it so it leaves an empty box there. But I don't know the details of how spring and mods work so would apreciate some help.

This happens ONLY with Chicken Defense

well i reinstalled Spring and downloaded again the latest Chicken Defense and still got the same problem. Chicken Defense version is 2.12 that uses BA6.18. BA6.18 alone doesn't reproduce the problem. :?

take one big tour through the options menu, deactivating every graphix option, than try again, switching them on, one by one. Sounds like graphicard having problems with shadows, decals, something similar. Also ask moddev and in modspecific board if someone else experiences that bug.

Also Why are you using such an old version of BA?

Which btw, is why you're getting this issue. I'm actually pretty surprised that it still works O_o 6.18 was a looong time ago.

I'm sorry. I actually meant 7.18. It's what the latest Chicken Defense uses. But I will try what Picasso suggested and come back with some feedback. :regret:

alt-tab does nothing than switching between windows for me. you should take a screenshot next time it happens so we can compare

as about my problem, i went through all options in spring. put everything to lowest and unchecked buffers, lua shaders etc. that didn't help but I don't really think there is a problem with those options as it works perfectly on all other mods :/

if u dont alt tab, it means that it doesnt cause this problem, but maybe devs will find something this way
