funny streaks of colors........... ??? #8192

I have an AMD 500, 256 ram running WIN98SE. I have just recently changed from a voodoo 3 3000 to a geforce 2 64 meg vid card and noticed this problem started happening after I changed the card.

I have tested different levels and this doesn't happen in all of them but basically what is going on, is that when a certain level is running, I notice these flashes or streaks of colored lights (these are actual colors from the textures I am using) shooting from the top left or side of the level.

I don't know whether it's because I don't have any lights added yet to this level, but I don't see why it would matter. Anyway if anyone else has seen this, could you fill me in. I have just replaced this moniter, and I have no other problems with display, I really like the card, and I have tested it with 3dgs demos and other games, and it works fine (except for when it does this). Thanks

It sounds like some sort of clipping error. Check to make sure your level is completely sealed and that you have a sky box around it. Sounds like a problem I've been having with my levels, but that is usually the cause.

raiden:

Try setting...

BG_COLOR.RED = 1;
BG_COLOR.GREEN = 1;
BG_COLOR.BLUE = 1;

The background is by default set to render as 'none' which means if your level is not entirely enclosed you will get texture smearing or streaks across the background. Another option would be to make sure you have a 'sky box' that completely encloses the level.

I am using the demo version and find that I am having that problem too... The level also has a skybox and I have tried using the pre-made level that came with the demo... I also have a geforce 2 64mb vidcard, Win2k and just updated the card drivers...
