1.2.5 prerelease 5

Post #1by chris » 26.09.2002, 17:14

This release fixes the problem with Saturn (and other ringed planets) on Radeon cards . . . I just put up a zipped EXE, so you'll need to install 1.2.5pre4 first.

You won't see ring shadows unless you have a GeForce 3 or 4. I'll try to add some code to make it work on GeForce 1 and 2 cards.

Ok I started with the straight up 1.2.4 release on my Radeon 9700 Pro and things worked fine (~80FPS thank you). Installed 1.2.5Pre4 and got a blank earth - overlaid 1.2.5Pre5 .exe same thing. Just to double check I blew away the entire directory (also used WinXP Pro uninstall) and started clean - same thing. Any ideas. Thanks.
