Temporary fix for transparent land with ATI Radeons

Post by Tasiin »

If you are experiencing missing or transparent land textures with an ATI Radeon video card, the Direct3D 8 renderer, and the Landscape Bumpmapping option on, download this file to your Giants directory and overwrite the original.

This has the side effect of disabling all shader effects, but it will allow you to use landscape bumpmapping with the Direct3D 8 renderer. A future patch will solve this problem without disabling shaders.

They were removed because they aren't compatible with patch 1.497. People kept installing them despite the warning and it resulted in them getting kicked/banned from newer servers due to the new cheat protection.

edit: here's the links if you want it and are sure you know what you're doing. Don't install this if you've patched to 1.497.

I'm so thankful for your help and this great community.

Can't wait to see 1st Wonder by Rogue Rockets Games. Hope they will announce it on Kickstarter soon.
