Invisible Armors - Angle Dependent

Zordak · 03-27-2011, 07:53 AM

Similar to previously reported bugs concerning costumes - specifically the skeleton suit - i have trouble with *all* armor pieces (including tunics) above level 50.

As before this is strongly viewing angle dependent, i can see the armors if i move the camera in a certain position. Unfortunately this position is hardly usable for playing, also enemies refuse to come only from the corresponding direction towards me.
This is not a problem on my side, i am apparently not missing any ressources.

While this was a nuissance with invisible lowlever armors and save guards, it became a pain with introduction of the skeletton costume. Now it starts to become unbearable: Barbs popping up next to me because i can only see a floating sword and a helmet greatly reduces the fun for me.

This seems to appear only on linux, i have never experienced this problem on windows - though i didnt try the opengl renderer there.

Same problems here with ATi Radeon 4200, Debian sid (x86_64), AMD Catalyst driver 11.2

Although, I think it's more distance, ie. LoD, dependent. Lowest character details are visible, higher ones aren't.

heard this before
it was something about the shader, but because i don't have this problem i forgat the solution

Same problem on my other pc here. Event tunic are not visible. Only the default gear. So for archers you only would see a helmet and a bow.

Hm, indeed i can see the archer guards armor perfectly when in fixed pipeline. But its wrong with shader 2.0+ if the hardware skinning option is set.

Anyone a clue what this option does?

Also shader 4/Linux, Skeleton/Alienware armor is invisible on bigger distance

Disable hardware skinning, it is bugged in the OpenGL renderer, just like weapon beams.
