Curious texture disappearance....then back again.

[seagoon]

I've noticed an unusual - and not previously experienced - anomaly with my current version of OR (X2864).

After about 10 - 15 minutes of operation I get a "white void" effect.
Saving the game-state at that point, backing out and restarting OR and then the saved game-state gives me the textures back but after a short time they fade away again.

The curious thing is that this effect only seems to happen if I initiate the Dispatcher Screen (Ctrl+F9) and then use that facility.

If I don't fire up the dispatcher and Tab into it then I don't see this anomaly.

Odd.

Submit a bug report after testing on current version as you are about 60versions behind. Upgraded to 2925 this AM.

I used to experience that with older versions. I have not experienced it in recent versions.

Thanks, lads.

My fault......I don't upgrade to the next version until I've finished the Activities I'm running in the current version.....otherwise I would never get to the end of whatever line I'm on.

Instead of overwriting old installations, I download each update separately. I create a separate shortcut for each one. About once a month I delete older versions but I usually keep the latest three. This allows me to complete an activity if the save is not compatible with the latest version.

I do the same but not until I've finished with the previous update.

Too much to do....not enough time left in which to do it.
