Full Version: Graphical Problem

Hmm.. don't know where to start...
but anyways, when i play NS i get like a shimmerish-line over the screen (horizontal).

OS: Windows XP Pro
Graphiccard: ATI Radeon 9600 256mb version 6.14.10.6387
RAM: 1024mb
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 3000+

Maybe it has something to do with my fps?

Nice rig.

Could you get a screenshot of it? Press F5 in-game when it happens, and then post it here?
Mr_Nitty
Hmm, i tried to take a screen but it won't show on it. And i checked if i had the same problem on CS but i didn't. Damn, it's hard to describe it. It's like when i move or look in a direction the shimmerish shows.

Sounds much like a case of 'tearing'... VSync is your friend.

Maybe cuz my monitor isn't the best at all. But i downloaded Vsync 2.0 but i don't understand ****. All i get is 7 files that i don't know where to put them? I've looked on google....

Actually, you don't want the 'VSync' program.

You want to adjust the settings in Control Panel -> Display -> Settings tab -> Advanced. Then depending on your graphics card, if any, you will see a 'GeForce blah blah blah' tab, or the Radeon equivalent. After clicking on the tab, you should then proceed to look for a 'Vertical Sync' setting and turn it on.
Mr_Nitty
Hmm, Can't find it. I'm Swedish so i don't know what's it called on swedish (VSync). Maybe you can get a screen of it? I have a radeon card btw.
Mr_Nitty
i went on google a little and found this

With Vertical Sync OFF: Look at a wall edge (black on white is best). Now shake your mouse left and right. -You should notice the horizontal lines (clips)


So it is Vsync, but i can't find the option to turn it on? :S

Looks like you have older driver, try this:

If that doesn't work you can try rolling back to older drivers.

Ah, don't you just love it :-)
Mr_Nitty
Yes i love it! Man... hate computers! Never work.. lol. I think it's kind strange problem i have.. I mean i don't have any problems with CS or HL. It is the same engine and ****. But i'll install that driver..


Edit: Can't you say **** in this forum?
Mr_Nitty
I just wanna say that i fixed it! YAY!
Thansal
glad to hear it, but please post the fix (so others can see it als o:))
Mr_Nitty
It was just me beeing stupid... i turned v-sync on in the ati option panel (direct x). But i just figured out yesterday (;D) that i run NS in OpenGL haha. So i just turned v-sync on in OpenGL. I guess i just was to frustrated to come and think of that at the moment or something. So i waited a cuople of days and tried to fix it, and i did by turning v-sync on in OpenGL like i just said.
