Aberations in graphics

[reece146]

Can you post the [ display ] section of your VDrift.config? I tried switching to low lighting quality and everything's fine for me. I suspect that the problem is that perhaps textures are not getting properly deleted somewhere, and then when VDrift tries to reload its textures, it runs out of space (since your video card probably doesn't have much VRAM).

If your video card has shared video memory, then try sharing more system memory to your video card.

Does this happen when you change settings in-game, before you start a game, after you start a game, or any time?

Code:

[ display ]
FOV = 67.500000
anisotropic = 0
antialiasing = 2
car_shadows = on
depth = 32
fullscreen = on
height = 640
input_graph = off
lighting = 0
mph = off
reflections = 0
show_fps = on
show_hud = on
skin = simple
texture_size = large
view_distance = 10000.000000
width = 1024

Here's info on the display card:

I don't think it is shared memory. To my knowledge there would be no way to tweak it from the defaults on the Mac anyway.

It happens whenever I hit the advanced button. At least I think so. I'll need to confirm later as I have other obligations I need to tend t currently.

T!

p.s.: Is there a way to have the build number built into the binary and displayable? Maybe stick it under the FPS counter in a small font or maybe in the menus somewhere? Again, JAT.

p.s.^2: I've got another Linux server humming in my workshop/garage. I'll try to install VDrift on it some time over the weekend and see if it occurs under Linux as well. The display card is either a V9400 or a 6400... Can't rememebr which one I stuck in it - to rushed to ssh.
