Hi,
I'm experiencing severe graphical errors in MTA (Deathmatch and Race, all versions). Just take a look at the screenshot:
Kinda hard to explain, it's like the game view is colorfully fading from normal view to a white screen randomly in-game, with just the HUD and MTA overlays staying intact. Please notice that the map is gone while the black mapview background is still visible, whereas the health/time/money HUD is perfectly intact. When dismissing a menu (like F9), the contents will quickly fade to white with fonts appearing blurry for a short time instead of just disappearing.
Here are my observations:
Seems to be dependant on view direction, pressing Q/E while in a car restores the normal view, while when releasing the key it immediatly fades white again
In Race, this was perfectly reproducable and depended on the current position in the map, when driving over a certain point, the screen went white
In addition to the screen distortion, collision detection seemed to get turned off, as I fell through the floor and drowned
In Race, it happended esp. on custom-made maps, in DM I see no relation
It only happens on my PC (config see below), not on my NB
Window mode on or off has no influence
No problems in single-player or SA*P
This it not a crash, when the screen is restored I can continue playing normally
Heres my system config, as I said, I've seen this error solely on this system:
Windows XP x64
Intel Core2Duo 6400
ATI Radeon X1950XT 512MB
4GB RAM
Latest ATI drivers, but it happended with many different versions
I would appreciate any help on this, as it's really annoying to drown 10 times at the same spot until I finally manage to get over it by holding Q/E sideview . And please no comments like "Get rid of XP x64" or "Get a real graphics card", I have no similar issues in any other game so this error is definitely MTA-related.
