BVE: Transparency problem

[Joel]

Hi!

I have a problem with BVE on my laptop, and it seems like something is wrong with the transparency. You can see in the attached image how it looks. I can drive the train and hear the sounds, but I can't see anything through the front window. I am running the route Network West Midlands together with the class 323. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do?

Is this an image you've created? If so, does the file contain an alpha channel?

Cheers!

Other then to try updating gfx drivers from HP site, I don't think.

To say that this BVE 4 train is one of the more tolerant with "low level" graphic cards: every texture is 8 bit colors and the panel background is only 1024x1024 pixel...
Moreover transparent colors of components are set to #0000FF (pure blue) or #000000 (pure black) and the result of your screenshot denotes a very buggy video driver set.

RE: Transparency problem

I tried to update the drivers for my graphics card, but the installation failed, so I guess that there is not much more to do. But anyway, thank you both for replying!
