My favorite planet is BROKEN

Post #1by nyer82 » 29.06.2003, 09:11

Ok every planet works except for saturn. Whenever I visit saturn the damn thing freezes up and my favorite software toy breaks down. Anyone helping? All the other moons, planets, etc work just fine. etc for saturn. I tried reinstalling. I am very upset, thats my favorite planet.



Using: Windows XP
ATI RADEON 9000
768 RAM
P4 Processor
2.0 ghz

Go the render menu, select view options, then turn off ring shadows. That should fix the problem . . . I don't know why ring shadows cause such a problem with some ATI cards, but I suspect it may be driver related. The Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, and 9800 cards have no problem with ring shadows, but all earlier Radeons do.

Not only ATI Graphic Cards, We encountered the same error as well on our (temporary) nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX 400 Graphic Card with 32 Mb of Memory.
What am I doing? Ah, nothing much. Just laying on my bed, watching the stars, and sky, and keep asking myself: 'Where the Hell is my Roof?'.

Individual, your viewing capabilities are under average.
Read the post again:
