Cant see units, only shadows.....& other stuff

Played a game last night, with iirc (may be wrong here )knorke. He complained of only seeing the shadow of the units, and not the units themselves. After pratting about with reinstalling spring and dl'ing lua scripts i think the problem is the "outline" widget. Which sucks as i love that one!
Just turning off the outline widget seems to fix it for me.
Also, very strangly, rank icons are working for me, for the first time in years

I was in that game but did not have the problem.
It was my ally, "HerrBrun" iirc.
I guess his problem was either

or since you mention widgets maybe:

/edit
"no units or textures in multithread spring"

this seems even more relevant.

Is the problem confined to xta in some way?
Incidentally, I don't like outline widget, I find it ugly and it also smells bad.
Unit highligh widget is much better imo.

Pretty sure it was a problem with his computer/drivers and not spring or even xta.
(he also crashed a dozen times in one game)
