TA5 Bugs or Issues (Someone had to start it)

[Russian Roulette]

Here's an odd one for ya, this happens every time I start bz
It appears that the graphics are not rendering correctly, anyone else have this problem?

I think I have seen that before. It could mean that the font is corrupted.

Try reinstalling BZ2.

Russian Roulette - what graphics card are you running? And have you tried latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer's site? From what's been reported here over the past week, do not trust the drivers MS hands out.

The terrain issue Datannti is seeing looks like he has run out of memory. Remember Dat, terrain takes up more memory than it used to because its drawn by the GPU.

Great news for you're CPU because it means BZ2 can do more at once, but unless you're GPU has plenty of memory you're going to be seeing that soon.

Try turning terrain detail to low when you enter the save game...

XD no its not my GPU running out of memory I fix it by hopping out of the bunker and all the terrain is gone, then I get back into the bunker and its all good

EDIT: I tried turning down the terrain detail and it's still doing it :/ idk why.

I have BZ2 installed on two computers and on one of them the front movie flashes while it plays and won't play smoothly. I think its just a memory thing but could that be a bug? (just bz2 problem not 1.3ta5)

I had that problem in 1.3pb4a but its gone now in ta5, I never did figure out a way to fix it :/

I found a  fix to my Z-fighting ground textures, I had Z-buffering on.

If anybody else gets Z-fighting (flickering textures) on the ground or anywhere else for that matter, check your Z-buffer settings in Graphics.

I have flickering textures under gun spires/towers, but not really sure where to adjust that z buffering.

[AHadley]

Right side of graphics options. Somewhere in the middle, one of the menus mentions either  Z-buffering or Z-filtering. It's that one.

Well, for some reason, when I "alt-tab" out of bz then back in, everything goes back to normal... except for the problem with the movie screen in the main menu being a solid white.
Other than this, everything is great.

Happens with Alt-Enter too.

BUG NUMBER 3 that I have found

In satellite mode, whenever you are picking a place for something to do an action, the little blue square is supposed to have a short line on going strait up. But it's not in the right place in satellite. the more distance that square gets from the bunker, the distance of the line from were it is supposed to be gets greater, almost like its going slower then the box. It is fine when you are in first person.

EDIT: N1 said someone already reported this but I don't see it
