[OBV] BUG - Cat people cause blackouts at char screen/in-game

[Ziroc]

Found an odd bug. When I kept making a char last night, and where it shows you the face on the right, and you have HDR on, the second you select the cat race, the characters disappear--just go black. (the Menu is still there). So, to bypass this bug, choose anti-aliasing till you are in the dungeon.

And when I did switch back to HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting--is badass) and you reach the city, the second you meet a cat race, it'll go black again, this time the whole screen! (You can ctrl-alt-del and then go back to fix this) but it seems that the cat race has a bug in its shaders.


For those that see white--except for the menus--that means your video card doesn't support HDR. Use anti aliasing/Bloom. Tis almost as good [img]smile.gif[/img]

Crimson, can you email this to your friend? Since it IS reproducible. I run:

P4 3.2 OCed to 3.6Ghz
GeForce6800 GT 265mb
2 Gig pqi samsung unbuffered ram

I'm using ATI X1600XT have no problem with cat people
what so ever with every thing on full blast. once in a
while the words "loading screen" comes on for about 1
second but I never stop running and no lag and the
"loading screen" sign goes off as fast as it came on.
My cat looks great and my HDR is full on and yes everything
is BAD ASS like I can't believe. I did add another 2 Gig of
Corsair DDR2 ram for a total of 4 Gig running a 667D2 fsb.
By 4 now, back to the game

Well, shaders can be different for each card. So maybe the nVidia shader is bugged. Please send that bug report, it will help them fix it.

LOVE the game. BTW, set the time to 5:24am, and go to that keep across the lake where the skeletons are, but as I was walking out, it was early dawn, the sky was freaking amazing. it looked real. A place you wish you could be. I was on a hill, looking towards the main city.. 5:22am-ish..

Go to Chorrol and head south form the horse trader
there is a girl riding a black horse and carring a
torch. She is whats called a Black Horse Courier.
She delivers messages from city to city But gets
attacked by Bandits and a Wolf and is killed. Her
black horse kills the wolf and you get a free
$3000.00 black horse for your own to ride off into
the sunset or sell your choice make sure you save
game just after you mount. And Ive seen the sunrise
about 5 times now and yew I would love to live
there, Wait... I think I do now? LOL at least my
wife thinks I do LOL.

I reported the bug for you, but have seen alot of
Cat People as Bandits and bar tendenders and store
keepers and haven't had the problem. But for you "Z"
I made the Offical Bug report.

"Z" I phoned my budy and he said that it is suggested
that everyone (with the problem) run the screen resolution
at 1024 X 768 and then try your high end settings. This is
the recomended screen size for the game, when rendering is
higher the tend to be some problems with HDR on a couple
different cards but the 1024 X 768 setting should take care
of it until nVidia releases the new HDR Driver. and make sure
your not using the 7800 Driver on the 6800 card because it is
set for a 528 ram rather than a 256 ram and can cause a face
blanking problem with a couple characters.
Bethesda is working with Nvidia and ATI to see if its a patch
by them or by Bethesda that can fix it ASAP!
