Graphic corruption??

Submitted by loquitur on Fri, 2006-11-03 15:16. Space Empires V General

Is anyone else getting graphic corruption occasionally through their turn? The background of the screen (no matter what's being shown, whether ship design or an information help screen), and sometimes the component graphics, become messed up ... almost like a diagonal skewing of the image. I have an integrated graphics card, so this could be the issue, but I'm not sure.

The workaround is easy, I just minimize the game and then bring it back up, and everything gets reset perfectly. But it happens 3-4 times every turn, on different screens each time.

I'm running on a variety of nvidia chipsets and not having any problems at all. Are you at the latest rev of your graphics drivers?

Well, after reading the readme, I set the video memory usage to SAFE, and haven't had any problems since, but I haven't tested it all that much.

A similar graphical issue...

Submitted by NightGuard on Sat, 2006-11-04 17:12.

I will occasionally get some vertical flickering while playing, usually when I have a subwindow open. The flickering seems to happen in the command panel, where the popup help would usually display. I've also had the icons for the command panel disappear on me when alt-tabbing out of the game and then coming back, but I've just attributed that to the fact that I have a non-standard display setup.
