RT & DirectX 9

[puppala]

I have had RT installed and running ok for a long time. Today I started it after a long period of not using it, and to my surprise it didn't work properly; part of the landscape (mostly the road) is grey !?! Only thing I could imagine that has happend in the mean time is, that I upgraded to DirectX 9. I have WinME and Radeon 8500. Other sims (GPL) work fine.

Any experience of RT & DirectX 9 ?

:confused:

Several people here, inclusing me, use DirectX 9. I am also on Windows ME, so that combination should work with RT. The only difference is that I have a GeForce 4 card. Did you run DxDiag to check if there are any problems? :)

Hmm test to put fog on/off in your graphics setup.. could it help..?

I've seen one of the catalyst drivers do that on a radeon 8500 in win98.. try different drivers too

as for dx9.. the only issue is sometimes if you try to get to the green/black controls confgiuration screen it locks the computer up and all you can do is reset, and the cure for this is to temporarily change the desktop color resolution between 32 - 16 bit

Exactly ! I tried to change some graphics settings, and when I turned fog off, everything was fine again !! But it worked before DX9 ...
