Serious graphics bug

[d0c]

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.

It's possible that MTA doesn't support Windows x64, I'm running on a Windows 32 one and it works good.

Your videocard seems alright, I can only say that it's your OS.

Have you tried it on another OS?

Yeah, I suspected XP x64 as well (noticed the bold?), but I didn't try 32bit yet as I didn't feel like repartitioning my harddrive. Perhaps I'll try when I find time for it. But I think it should be possible to fix this issue, I would gladly help on nailing it down

this usually happens when data gets set outside the limit of the gta limit, it happens in sa-mp aswell i believe

it happens in sa-mp aswell i believe

I can confirm that.

Same. Has there been any progress on solving this ? I've tried a fresh install of GTA + MTA and it still always happens to me. I've made a quick

to demonstrate.

1. I use a sanchez to show it's all OK

2. I spawn a bmx and get on it - at this point the bike just starts moving on it's own

3. When the bike comes to rest I push forward and get the white-out - this is the first time I try to control the bike.

This is on WindowsXP 32bit / nVidia 8800GTS and this is the dumb server code - as you can see there's nothing there to screw up the bike.
