  • Graphical error in continuum after alt-tab

    After alt tabing to windows then back to ss my graphics get all screwy. Sometimes closing a few programs fixes it or rebooting. My video drivers are all up to date and that fixed it for a day or two but now the problems back again. Screenshot of problem

    Alt tab out, then in again. Usually fixes it with most people.

      although this seems more than just a problem with your SS client. what version do you use?

          I have that problem on and off......... depending on the time of day for me...... and how close I get to winning a game like elim...... argh!@ but it has some thing to do with another program working in the background, I have 2 monitors so I can see stuff happening like some one coming on trillian or some a virus scan starting up.

              ZE mod should close this thread as it has no use now.

                you should try what i did. My card supports dual monitors and even though im not using the second one it could still be a driver issue. If you have nvidia download the new drivers from the site then go into the add/remove programs and uninstall the nvidia drivers. Reboot then install the new ones and reboot again. Maybe it will fix your problem too.

                  I use 2 cards not a single card with duel output.

                    Actually based on that screen shot I think you ate the infared vision green. Lets you read thermal signatures of enemy ships.

                      that screen shot is from trench wars's pub arena so it has nothing to do with greens i wouldn't think... it stopped for a while but it did it again yesterday and alt tab never seems to fix it.

                        When stuff changes on the desktop, and a few other events I have yet to uncover, your colors might invert. If alt-tab doesn't work for you, try going to your process viewer and shut down the process named cisvc.exe, that usually does it for me.

                        cisvc.exe is a windows-file for some kind of memory-indexing (don't ask, I don't know), and is loaded through registry. It has never caused me any noticable harm to shut it down, and as you shut it down, another process will follow, cidaemon.exe, the program which cisvc.exe allegedly monitors.

                          cisvc.exe is an essential windows process, don't shut it down. Follow the info here: http://forums.trenchwars.org/showpos...53&postcount=2 and if that doesn't work try updating your video drivers.
