Ah, an integrated card.

It's very, very, likely that your card just can't handle the type of textures (be it over 2048 squared big, or some other, unforseen, constraint).
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

That's just weird since none of the other bridges, or any of my ships, have this problem.  Why just the Excalibur? :?

This is nothing to do with the texture being too big - we are talking about a 128x128 tiled texture. Additionally we have had the problem show on Geforce 4s, onboard graphics etc etc.

As I already explained ShadowKnight, I was aware of the issue when I released the bridge under KM1, and I was still aware of the problem when I released the set seperately (check the readme) - I have tried everything from adjusting the model to recreating the texture from scratch. This is just one of those times where we cant really find an explanation, we cant reproduce the problem, and we cant give a solution.

You just named 2 of the most low-end type of cards (generally speaking, any card is basicly better than an onboard card, and a Geforce 3 was better than the 4 series). :P


I'll go check some more sites when I get the time about these types of cards and their restrictions.
