Graphic Glitches on Linux!
« on: January 13, 2011, 02:17:30 pm »


               Hello!

I am here to explain my little problem:

I am running neverwinter nights (base+2 exp+1.69) on Ubuntu 10.10 and i always encounter some graphical glitch on native version AND windows version on wine, i don't know why '<img'>

The glitches affect:

- All kind of robes
- Cloak
- Certain creatures

Here are some screenshots:

http://img402.images.../schermata2.jpg

As you can see, the textures are rendered well, but, they have a strange shiny glow!

I already tried all kind of solutions, deactivated env map, used 16 bit (compatible mode) textures, downgraded via software all 3d rendering using driconf, patched with critical rebuilt, etc '<img'>

Probably is a driver bug, this problem is driving me crazy, BUT, in Aurora Toolset all textures are perfect! The problem is only in game!

Can someone help me? Thank you!

               Might be an issue with an Intel chipset issue on the graphics card.

               Probably is an issue with chip/drivers, i don't know, for the moment i run nwn on windows, hoping for a future fix '<img'>



Anyway, suggestions are appreciated '<img'>

               This looks like metallic colors - which should not appear on clothes, of course. The only thing that comes to mind atm is to use driconf to activate the use of s3tc compressed textures, even if the driver does not support it.

Other than that, I did a quick search through the old forums to see if there has been any discussion on this topic before:
Look here, even if it is about an ATi Card.

And look here for a more thorough discussion of the metallic color issues.
