Hi there, I noticed that I'm having some strange gfx issues on fernbay green (haven't noticed any of this on other tracks). There are strange lines on the track, in the trees and even in the background at some places (see attached pic). Almost looks like seams between textures or sth. Anybody know what that could be?

edit: I checked once more and it seems to be on all fern bay tracks but non of the others. Could it have to do with Kid's and Don's hires skys? I have those installed but as I didn't like the sky and blueish reflection of fernbay, I switched back to the originals. But maybe not all of the necessary original files? Which ones are only for fernbay?

Hi,
It has nothing to do with Don`s and Kid`s sky textures.

Its LFS/graphic driver bug.I have the same "issue".

Is it something to do with ATi Anti-Aliasing? iirc RBR had the same 'problem', and it was due to ATi thingies. Just a thought.

I think its not only problem of ATI as I have NVIDIA cards and try 2 different one and its same.Maybe its not graphic card driver and its LFS .
I tried that also without AA and the lines are still there as well.

i have the same problem and know many ATi-users with exactly the same problem ... don't know a proper solution though

its anti'aliasing and anisotropic that cause lines because of the way the tracks are put together. if you have any anti aliasing on you will see lines... this has been a problem for a long time and there have been many threads on it

Thx, guys. Never came across this before and didn't really know what to search for, so I didn't even try.

Still wondering why it's only on fernbay, though ...

it happens on other tracks as well

Hi all,
Just tested it yesterday on 2 different cards and its more visible with only AF enabled then with only AA enabled.

but AF makes the textures look much much better for me

I think the issue is on both sides.LFS and buggy graphic drivers.

I think both NVIDIA and ATI are now optimizing for DX9 titles so DX7-8 titles migh have some issues.I doubt that it will get fixed with the drivers.Eric or Scawen will have to do something with mapping of the textures probably.Well I hope they will.

hmm good to see I'm not the only one with this (thanks search feature)

tried all the lfs settings and catalyst setting to try and make it go away but to no avail.
I also see it only on fernbay, although I do see dark lines on other track but they are alot less like a grapix bug like these..

Well I made a picture to attach and did the research to check all tracks, and test all setting. And I used to search function, so although this post is useless I just had to make it after all the trouble

Well cya at X, tomorrow ¿?
