mainly, my framerate drops from 150 to round 5
second, all 2d gets messed up, either not showing at all or appearing all white
third, when objects collide the program hangs
fourth, ghosted and/or colored objects appear white

I recommend a clean install whenever possible; remove DBPro (3.1, or whichever patch is installed), install 1.0 from the CD, then install patch 4. This will ensure you have all proper versions of the DLLs.

I would recommend copying the editor folder out to an alternate location before the uninstall, then copy it back in and overwrite the 1.0 editor after re-installation. It will be faster than going through the 1.09 update.

Also, copy out anything in your plugins-user folder so you don't lose it.

My game is suffering from some strange problems under patch 4. My main character seems to be invisible now and the walls are no longer textured for some strange reason, although the floor and ceilings are.


edit - The walls weren't textured because the limb numbering has changed. Now to figure out why my character is invisible.

"very possible. can that be it rich, or whoever sees this?"

Doubt it, far more likely to be your code. But as I haven't seen any it's impossible to tell. As I said in the other thread - I cannot debug forum posts with no substance/details/specifications - I can only debug code, so it's time to get emailing.

Also - read the migration notes - a LOT has changed, limb sequencing is different, some object flags are reversed, some commands have new parameters, etc.

Cheers,

Rich

I mangaged to get my object visible by using the texture object command or color object command on it. Without using these commands on it it's completely invisible. But it used to load up before with the texture, maybe my model has some strange attributes or there's a problem with patch4 loading it.
