| Summary | 0000319: OpenGL and specular mapping refuse to work on some systems. | ||||
| Description | I have seen that both OpenGL and specular mapping are directly linked to eachother, so when OpenGL stops working specular mapping stops working. This happens on some systems and can be fixed by reinstalling your video drivers. When you reistall scp, the bug occurs yet again, and the video drivers must be reinstalled again. | ||||
| Additional Information | On an AMD Athlon 2400+ and a Radeon 9600 Atlantis (Sapphire). Always is selected as the reproducibility because it always happens when the certain conditions are met. | ||||

We know this. Its a drivers issue on the Catalyst 4.4+ end... If you run above a 4.4, and expect shinies, you've no choice but to run OGL. Or, you can roll back your cat's... |
|
|
You need to be using Catalyst 4.12 or higher (others may work) for OpenGL to function properly. This is a problem with ATI's drivers and there isn't really anything we can do about it. So you need 4.4 or lower for D3D and shines and 4.12 or higher to use OpenGL (shines or not). |

Can this be resolved as a driver issue? |
|
|
Driver related issue. Not much we can do about it code wise for OpenGL but D3D will eventually work properly with newer than 4.4 drivers. |
