Load Screen SVN 11724

Just so you know, the load screen has been borked. IE, doesn't work anymore. The buttons still work and the little 'light' textures work. But the background has multiple scanlines. See if it works on your system.

I don't appear to have a problem (SVN 11726). I'm using an ATI card (Radeon 9600 using 7.12 drivers) so it's probably not a code issue.

funny enough, I just updated my NVIDIA driver to 169 too. let me check with a different driver.

I just switched back to 100.14.19 NVIDIA driver, and the load screen is looking good. So it is an incompatibility with the driver. Whose fault it is though . . . Couldn't say. (As in, was a change on their part on purpose or not)

But there didn't seem to be a problem with The missions screen or the planet landing screens if I remember. . . LOKI If you are still on 169, can you confirm that the landing screens and the ship upgrade screen and the mission screen are all working well?

Again will do
EDIT:My experience matches yours then cross-hatching on the Load screen but ok on the other in game screens.

Any other nvidia users out there that can confirm i don't really want to do a downgrade

Enjoy the Choice

I have a similar problem with hatching,

the load screen is fine,but I get hatching on some of the Methane planets,and
on the swirl-effect whenever I go through a jump hole.

I'm using the Nvidia 169.07 drivers compiled against my kernel I'm using with my Kubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 2.

I've attached my config.log to see if you can see any problems.

So, Steve, you're saying its on more than JUST the load screen, but is throughout the entire game?

That's unfortunate.

I actually reverted to 100.x series drivers because of the bugginess (it showed a big "BETA" splashscreen upon starting up).

It could be due to texture compression. Anyway I'll check it out with my nvidia 8600 on the 169 drivers...
I also have a 6800 but I think it worked fine last I tested, might have been before the 169 series.
