[0957]Glassy ground.

[Yurix3m]

Ehm, when I start to play a map in the latest PR everything is weird.
The ground is either white or glassy, the skybox is weird, and everything
has a graphical problem except the weapons etc.

How do I fix this?

Got a screenshot?

Thats how it looks like.

And why is it so few players? Mainly bots

Try deleting the contents of this folder:

Still don't work

This has been happening for ages, and certainly before 0.957.

A couple of restarts of the game usually fixes it for me.

problem is caused by win 7 aero design.
use a non areo design for your desktop and it will work.

Still don't work

I reinstall my graphic card drivers and it always work for me

Disable desktop composition. Right click on the pr shortcut > properties > compatibility > tick "Disable desktop composition".

Ooooh I'll give that a try Mora

Didn't work

Didn't work

Did the transparent Aero desktop turn off or not when you started the game? Try to do this to both pr.exe and bf2.exe: Right click on them and go > properties > compatibility > tick "Disable desktop composition". If it still doesn't work, tick also "Disable visual themes" from both.

Disable in-game anti-aliasing, will return your ground (or has done for the last ~10 or so people I have suggested it to).

I'm assuming that you're using a ATI/AMD based graphics card and win 7/vista, correct?

You are assuming right. Will try it!

100% sure this will work.

windows aero theme needs some DX9 things and that causes the problems.
