Hi,i created a new account on this forum to re-open the problem regarding the black terrain, which can only be solved if you pass that level map. Thank you

It happens when you alt+tab out of the game and back in game. DirectX problem, I think. I think theres a way to fix it in the console but I dont remember how.

If you get the black terrain DO NOT SAVE or it'll wreck the savegame. Quit the game and reopen. (It helps to save frequently.)

It's not a problem with DirectX, it is a problem with Intel's GFX chips not properly supporting DirectX.


One little problem -- there's not an Intel graphic chip in my machine. It's all AMD and NVIDIA.

I heard of the possibility for the use of 'dirty' textures which should solve that problem... but I didn't figured that out, yet.

Another fix would be to reset the terrain color manually. To do this type "dm" in the console (open with circumflex... the key above 'tab' and under 'escape'). Then click on "enter script" or something like that and type
1
terraintexture "generate", 1;
and execute that.

Certainly not! Im too afraid of overheating to use a laptop for anything more intense than solitaire (lol).

Heres the specs. You can ignore the VirtualBox stuff -- that's just a Linux VM I use for something else.
