Try this code:



This should display a sphere in the center of screen and a plain shouldn't be visible.. But it is?

It looks like when you change x from let say 1000 towards the 100000
first it works till 18000 then the plain starts to show through sphere? I think it's a bug with sorting..

My specs:
Windows 98 (2222)
DirectX 9.0b
P4 2.4 GHz, 128 DDR RAM, 16M Video
30 GB harddrive
Running in desktop full screen mode.

Please, help

Can we please keep bug reports to the Bug Report section.

Are you sure you've got the code correct ? It wont compile under 5.1 (the camera command doesn't have enough parameters for example).

Yes, I'm sorry it should be:



It doesn't really matter for me what exactly is x or what objects as soon as any object are 18,000+ points out on Z axes they start to draw in order of creation, one on another, and it doesn't matter that one is closer..

I don't actually think that this is a bug - just a limitation of the standard Z-buffer.

Can you check your Advanced display settings/Direct3D Z-buffer depth? I bet it's set to 16 bit (if a setting is available at all).

BTW, what video card are you using?

mhack this sounds like you have an nVidia video chipset.
If so, chalk it up to their driver code hacks to get fast performance.
