Units Won't Show Up

[SanadaUjiosan]

Someone on CT's modDB said that units won't render when they try to play. Here is their post:

Hi, I've just got the game up and running on my comp. Everything works fine, except for the fact that i can't see any of my units, or the enemy's. I can still select them and give them orders, and i see small round shadows where the unit should be. any one have a solution to this problem?

And he was kind enough to e-mail me his infolog. I see some errors in there that I've never experienced. My first shot in the dark reaction was video drivers, but I honestly don't know. I'll let the person know I posted this here, but any thoughts?

Code: Select all

[f=0000000] SDL version:  1.2.10
[f=0000000] GL version:   2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2189
[f=0000000] GL vendor:    Intel
[f=0000000] GL renderer:  Intel(R) HD Graphics
[f=0000000] GLSL version: 1.20  - Intel Build 8.15.10.2189
[f=0000000] GLEW version: 1.5.8
[f=0000000] Video RAM:    unknown

yes, its gfx drivers.
it also fails to create lots of shader objects.

Intel(R) Heavily Deranged Graphics

If someone has intel graphics, tell them it's a video card problem and to get an actual 3d video card.

You can get a capable video card for 20 bucks.

Hi guys, I'm the (not so proud) owner of the Intel® HD Graphics card and the problem. Thanks for your feedback! Just hoped there were other solutions than buying another graphics card. Thanks!

Forb: that is not a viable solution as it seems many people stuck with the damn cards are on laptops.

Ah, thanks for the help! I will try to remember that for future non-spring community bug reports.
