My game looks really... well... bad. All I see is a black sphere with no terrain detail or anything really.The beige square in the second thumbnail is the only thing that resembles some terrain. Units show up fine. I am running it on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. Any help, please?
i have kind of a similar issue, except I'm on windows 7. i've got an alienware with two ATI mobility radeon HD 5870 in crossfire, but it's essentially the same if i deactivate it and use only one graphic card when i start a game, the planet seems is part ok, part messy (pic 1 and and 2 without crossfire) and as soon as i place my commander it gets all dark and i really can't see much (pic 3) maybe i'm on the dark side, but it still feels abnormal. plus the 3D model of the commander or of any unit/building doesn't show up (pic 4), and i can't see metal spot most of the time (actually i just saw one only once, but i didn't try for days either) the water seems to be all right though =)
I get picture 1 when I zoom out really quick as the odd texture games they're playing race to catch up and paint the world on the edges of the screen, it seems to catch up fairly quick though.
I get the top picture error when I use slightly bigger planets, like it cant render the textures fast enough or running out of VRAM... Sli disabled of course...
I doubt it's related to your textures problem, but why you still using old drivers? Code: Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Driver Date/Size: 3/15/2013 00:53:06, 17990800 bytes Get latest one: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-327.23-whql-driver.html
the new drivers turn my machine off.... and the new drivers have certain features disabled from nvidia... for some reason they've botched up a lot of the newer drivers from nvidia.. doing a copy of what radeon have done with their drivers over the past few years... quite ironic actually but thats why... I'll do a new thread seems its not related to OSX about my problem got screens as well
Sorry, I'm only find your post today, so I checked your DxDiag.txt and find this: Code: Card name: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 Driver Date/Size: 8/10/2010 10:51:56, 598528 bytes Outdated drivers cause issues you seem, so open this page to update them: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx First try to download and run "AMD Mobility Radeon™ Driver Verification Tool". If it's give you drivers to install just use them. If it's say that your hardware isn't compatible you need do that: Backup important information from laptop. Download and install "Latest Beta Driver" from same page. Usually generic drivers don't cause any problems, but I'm recommend back backups anyway.
yay ! thank you, it works now (i hereby deduct that the windows utility or whatever that said my drivers were up to date is crappy)
Yeah, I'm having crazy driver problems too. I can't get my drivers to update to anything beyond the 2011 version I have right now. How do I get it to update? The AMD website doesn't seem to offer any downloads that did anything for me.
iMac have mobile card it's mean you need to install generic mobile card drivers: Code: Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6970M Driver Date/Size: 6/13/2011 18:34:16, 708608 bytes Open AMD website: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx First try to download and run "AMD Mobility Radeon™ Driver Verification Tool". If it's give you drivers to install just use them. If it's say that your hardware isn't compatible you need download and install "Latest Beta Driver" from same page.
Okay. I fixed it, and I'll tell you how. The AMD tool was what was telling me my drivers were up to date. But a total uninstall followed by an install worked. I now no longer have drivers from two years ago. Huzzah.
