Kidberg Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I have a friend who recently downloaded EL and has a graphics problem. Some of his objects ingame like trees and such are white structures. Also, he tried to download some other maps and the map screen is just pure white now. Also the log in screen is pure white except for the 2 boxes where you type in your login info. Can anyone help?

Thyralax Report post Posted September 8, 2010 Usually this is solved by disabling shadows in options Updating graphics card drivers can help as well sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidberg Report post Posted September 8, 2010 He updated his graphics drivers and even put his video settings on poor man. Still same problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyralax Report post Posted September 8, 2010 Hmmm he could try uninstall and re isntall. Some specs for his system would help as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His system is Dell Studio 1737 Pentium Dual Core CPU 2.00GHz 4GB 64-bit Operating System running Vista Home Premium. His graphics: Video Card: Mobile Intel ® 4 Series Express Chipset Family Vendor: Intel OpenGL Version: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyralax Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Ahh theres the problem its an intel chipset Seriously tho It looks like there maybe a newer driver on the intel website for that graphics card. Which may or may not help. Might be worth backing his current drivers up and giving them a try. Make sure he can roll them back if it goes pear shaped tho.

Once he does solve the problem, he's still going to have to play with many features disabled since Intel does a large part of the graphics work in the CPU, since they have brain dead GPU's. Probably better to call them video chips, not GPU's! Yes, drivers is probably the problem, their drivers tend to suck more then AMD or NVidia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
