TFC Tech: Video Errors


I'm an ATI user having problems with the 1108 patch.

Currently there is an issue with ATI cards and the 1108 patch, you can download the fix here.

When I jump into water in TFC everything is dark green, and the water surface is light green. I can't see anything, how can I fix this?

This is most likely due to a problem with your video configuration in Half-life/TFC.

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card. The best place to check for this would be the website of whichever company makes your video card. If those drivers don't seem to have been updated in a while, or don't fix the problem, you may want to check the website of the company that makes the chipset used on your card. For instance: nVidia makes the TNT, TNT2, and GeForce chips which go onto those cards, 3dfx makes the Voodoo chipsets, and S3 makes the Savage chipsets.

Remember, of course, that the drivers from the makers of the chipsets are not always fully functional with all video cards that use those chipsets, because the cards may support features that are not a part of the reference design of the chipset. So, be sure to try the drivers from the board's manufacturer first.

If updating the drivers doesn't work, it may be a compatibility problem with the way your card handles the water effects, and you may have to try switching video modes to OpenGL, Direct3D, or software mode, depending on what you are currently using (software mode should work regardless of your card's 3d rendering capabilities).
