Demo Bug: Black screen when application quits

[Zogu]

Maybe your vidcard doesn't like OpenGL mode?
If all your other applications run with DirectX or in standard video mode, then it would explain why only WW isn't diplayed right.

You could try another OpenGL application/game, just to confirm. For instance, try the game Gish (which runs only in OpenGL)

or it could be a direct-x problem. try upgrading your version?

I cant play on my laptop because the IBM video drivers are wonky and direct-x does not run. naturally not the games fault, but neither IBM or MS seem to have working drivers. grrr.

It sounds like a problem with your OpenGL drivers to me. A screenshot might help explain what you're seeing.

Press F12 to take one. The .tga file is written to the game folder. Convert it to a .png file (preferable to avoid lossy jpeg compression given the issue) and then upload it to http://imageshack.us/ or somewhere similar and just post the link (don't use the IMG tag to embed the image here).

If imageshack automatically resizes or reformats the image (I'm not sure if it will, but given that the file will probably be on the large size, it might) then you could try running the game at a lower resolution to take a smaller screenshot, or you might have to go with JPEG instead of PNG for the format.

Use http://www.irfanview.com/ if you need something to convert between image formats.

Actually I had really blurry text in WW on my machine at work... upon which I develop for Direct3D. Radeon 9800 XT, up to date with latest drivers.

Usually I play at home though, on my laptop with its meager Radeon 320M and it's just fine.

This sounds like it could be a driver problem (say, something to do with big textures), or possibly just video settings. If you go to the "advanced" section in your video settings you should be able to find OpenGL settings. Try turning off any anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

Hmmm, its on my development machine too (also DirectX) so perhaps it doesn't like the debug versions of the libraries?

I'll have a fiddle with some of these suggestions. Thanks.
