Archived from groups: alt>games>myst (more info?)

Hello,

I've just installed Myst IV: Revelation and i just in the beginning of the
game.

I enter the home (office/lab) of Atrus (just before he asks me to help him
modulate some sound-waves). When i step into his house/lab and do one step
to the right, i see some graphical corruption on the furniture of the lab.
Many small black rectangular blocks on top of the furniture's textures. When
i move, the pattern of these small blocks change. It happens only on certain
spots, not everywhere. It seems that a hidden 'blocky' texture 'tries' to
become visible.

I have 2.4GHz Intel PentiumIV computer, WindowsXP SP2, Ati Radeon 9700 with
driver version 4.9, 2GByte RAM. My system in not over-clocked in any way.

First i thought my video-card may be overheating or something, but i tried
to play the game right after i start up the computer (so that the internal
temperature is still low): I saw the same 'blocky' corruption.

Anyone has a similar problem? Do i need to set some settings in the
display-drivers to get rid of this corruption?

It does not prevent me from being able to play the game, but it does not
look good.

Help is appreciated Smile
-- Anton.

Do you have the latest drivers for your video card installed ? Also,
Ubisoft have released a patch for Revelation, you may want to try that
as well:

Hi Gilles,

I have version 4.9 of my display drivers installed. I saw that 4.10 just
came out. I'll try to use/install those and check if the problem disappears.

I have the latest patch of MystIV installed as well ( it was the first thing
i did after installing the game itself :=) )

-- Anton.

It was the patch that caused the corruption.
I replaced the patched version of m4_shaderlib_rd.dll with the original from
the DVD.
Now, the display corruption is fixed.
