Hi,

This might just be me being daft but I'm stumped. I installed patch 4 and ever since then, none of the demos work, I tried the sphere shader demo and the screen went blank for about 5 mins then the demo loaded but the sound was fuzzy, all the graphics seemed ok though. The 3d shooter tutorial doesn't work, the problem with all this seems to be just related to 3d as the 2d stuff works fine. All the time the world is loading, the HD is searching for something, it takes ages, I'm not kidding up to 10 or 15 minutes!

I then read a few posts and decided to do a complete uninstall / reinstall which I did, but it's still the same. The demos were fine with 3.1 and the new IDE (which I haven't added in yet)

My machine is an AMD 2000xp with XP installed 512Mb ram and an ATI AIW Rage Pro(old but OK)drivers all updated and direct-x 9 installed.

Any suggestions?

HEy that's a possibility,

I have a laptop with a radeon in it, I'll give that a whirl and see what happens.

I've got a problem with the new patch, this is partly guess work be its seems right. When running the game im makeing it works fine up to the point of startingt the game, then it crashes when trying to sporn the your ship. The error says that the object doesn't exist. In addition to this neburs doesn't load, both of these are controled by globle array that are declared at the start of the program and have values set to them in other functions.

Im currently changeing the code to try and find out if the values are going accross from function to function.

ok my misstake nothing wrong with arrays, just somthing strange that never happen on V3.1. What happening is its trying to position an object that doesn't exist, however 3.1 never complaned about this and thats what got me, althought i still haven't figger out why the neblur isn't displaying.

Ok i've found out what was wrong with the neblur, it wasn't showing because patch 4 changes the way light is caculated, so the neblurs were there just very dark :S
