[Bug/Graphics] Graphics turning white

from Elemental Forums

In this new build, the graphics seem to be whited-out.  I was just about to post this problem when I saw people are having similar problems here:

Apparently disabling anti-aliasing helps with this problem.  I saw one dxdiag posted but not much else, so I decided to post anyway - sorry if it's redundant.  I have a Nvidia card like the other people that have this problem.  Here is the debug.err file and dxdiag:

dxdiag

I have some pictures of the problem as well:

World creation screen - everything ok...

At sovereign creation screen, portrait whited out

Cloth map, whited out

 

Hope that helps!  You guys are doing a great job on this game; I can't wait to see the final version! I'm a big Master of Magic fan, and I definitely like the way Elemental is coming together.  And how about that Star Control remake next?

If you go to the options screen, and turn off the "Advanced Lighting" option, then try again, does it work then?

Also, if you could please provide your debug.err file (in /documents/my games/elemental), that would help us determine what might be going wrong.

Thanks.

The first pastebin link is the debug.err file (edited).  Turning off the advanced lighting option fixes some of the problems - I can see some of the portraits and graphics but not others.  The cloth map is still whited out.  Here's the new debug.err file:

And here's some pictures I took after turning the advanced lighting option off:

Sovereign creation screen

Portraits look ok

Cloth map still white, but some things are now visible

Let me know if you'd like me to try something else!

Besides turning off advanced lighting, turning off anti-aliasing has helped some people.

I have to same issue and was able to see the portrait and cloth map by turning off Anti-Alias, Advance lighting, and unchecking the "FullScreen" box to play the game in window mode.
