Graphics problem on big DOT from far view

Post by Piou2fois »

Hi
I have a graphic issue the last release on my computer.

When i move back the view, i should see icons as cross, dot or "E" or "M" in my team color.
For everything it is ok except for attack unit, the colour and the form (round) is a blast of pixel that are not recognizable and so make the game crazy when you like to see such a thing
What is crazy is that for ennemy it is the same except for those seen by the radar, the dot are in this case nice.

I have updated the driver of my graphic card (FireGL v5200)
It was working well last month on that computer before full reinstallation...

Thanks in advance for your help

Hmmm
I solved it with a trick
Just rename the file "sphere.png" in C:\Program Files\Spring\LuaUI\Icons to remove it, make a copy of square, reneme in sphere
Works fine now except i have square instead of dot :)
So it should come from the sphere.png
I tried both spring installer and spring portable, same issue
Perhaps the archive has issue

ahh...
that is the non-npot sized textures problem.
the square has is 64x64, the sphere is 63x63, as are some others (hour-glass ones for example). We should change them to 64x64 as well.

Nice catch. Drivers are no always guilty :) But the fact is sometimes it was working & sometimes not.
