White screen after loading finishes #12

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Move .scr to windows folder
2. set it as screensaver
3. Hit preview
4. Wait until the loading finishes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see a city or something. Instead I saw a bright white screen.
There were rounded corners to the screen, and they did appear to have stuff
changing on (outside) them, so I guess the bright white thing could be a
rounded rectangle between the camera and the city, but that seems unlikely.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PixelCity_1_0_005.zip
Windows XP Home Edition (32-bit) SP 3

Please provide any additional information below.

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+, specific model information from Windows,
if it's relevant: "x86 Family 15 Model 43 Stepping 1 AuthenticAMD ~2411 Mhz"
Graphics card: ATI x850 with 256 MB of video RAM, on PCI-Express x16.
RAM: 1 GB DDR1 PC3200
Desktop Resolution: 1280x1024 at 85 hz and 32 bpp

I get this too. I opened the ini file and noticed this happens when effect=1 
and 
effect=2 . I have an Ati Radeon 9550 256mb agp (ati related?). thanks for such 
a 
nice ss :)

Effects 1, 2 and 7 resulted in this for me. I assumed at first it was simply 
Vista
64-bit being a stickler again, but it could be hardware since, like the original
poster, I am using an AMD CPU (X2 64 Dual Core 5400+) and ATI graphics card 
(Radeon
HD 4800).

This screensaver used to work until I updated my ATI drivers and Catalyst to 
version
9.7; I was previously using Catalyst version 8.11.  I have two ATI Raedon 4870 
video
cards, but unlike the previous posters I have an Intel CPU - Kentfield 6600.  
Since
this DID work for me (many months, I might add) until today, it seems like this
defect is tied to the ATI video cards AND the version of Catalyst you're 
presently
running.

--Vista Home Premium x64
--8GB RAM
--Kentfield Q6600 (Core 2 Quad CPU 2.40Mhz)
--2x ATI Raedon 4870 1GB

I get this too on Catalyst 9.7 / Win7 x64.

Intel i7 / ATI 4870 x2

Looks like the ATI drivers are borked. :(

ah ... found it.

set 'catalyst A.I.' to standard, works fine.

have it on advanced and you get the white screen.
