RBR - Radeon 9000 flicker bug

by Milan Poll » Sun, 19 Sep 2004 02:03:54

Just received my copy of RBR from play.com today. Only after I ordered it I
read it had severe flickering problems with the Radeon 9000 (and Radeon
9200, 8500 as well I think). And yes, these do have a pixel shader, I can't
really see what they're using the pixelshader for anyway. As I have a Radeon
M9 in my laptop (my main system at the moment) I already expected to have
the same problem.

The whole scenery constantly flickers like crazy, rendering the game
unplayable. There's also lots of texture crawling, but that's probably
unrelated. Makes you wonder how well they betatested this software.

I don't suppose anyone here came across a solution for this? I hope Warthog
will fix this problem soon as I'd really like to try it out.

Not that it's any comfort, but the game would run very badly on such a
low-end cards anyway - even on minimum detail.  They may fix it in an
upcoming patch but in the meantime there's no fix for old Radeon users.

It's not even running badly for the rest, even on high-detail. Games like
UT2004 and Mercedes World Racing run perfectly well on my Radeon, MWR looks
a lot better than RBR so I don't think it should run much worse. Maybe they
should add an option to turn pixel shaders off, I don't think it would make
much of a visual difference.
