1.03 - invisible infantry and missing shadows

[Cougar_DK]

Hi I've just applied the 1.03 patch and now all my inf is invisible (again). And Alt-w doesn't toogle shadows on/off besides the text.

Cheers

Hi Madmatt and sorry for not posting my info this time.

I have the soldiers back after setting the resolution to 1024x768 and the Alt-w toggles the soldiers on and off now....?

My pc:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
RAM: 2 GB
GFX Card: Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 OC2 (163.44 Beta drivers)
OS: Windows XP SP2
DirectX: 9.0c

I have installed the AMD driver and the MS fix.

My dxdiag info: DxDiag.txt (http://www.twins4ever.dk/DxDiag/DxDiag.txt)

This worked fine in 1.02 and there have been no changes driver wise since I last played CMSF 1.02...

I can be seeing things, but Allahs Fist runs better in 1.03 on my pc. But if it has anything to do with the above...?

There is a known issue with some Nvidia drivers where the display of shadows also caused the infantry to become invisible. The fix was to turn shadows off.

I believe Rune first noticed this back in the beta but I thought it was fixed with the newer Vista drivers however your running those new beta drivers that just came out. What OS do you run?

Hi Madmatt, as I wrote in my above post: "OS: Windows XP SP2" ;)

I've just been hit by the invisible inf bug. It only seems to apply to inf dismounting from vehicles. They're there, but invisible. Also, spotted enemy units suddenly don't show up either, so I can't see what my units are firing at or what is firing at them.

This has just happened for thefirst time, six battles into the campaign. XPmediacentre SP2.

Solved the prob by going to Nvidia settings and removing SF from Prog Settings. So something I'd done in there, not sure what, which had given me slight performance and graphics improvement, was apparently causing the bug.

Hi guys, I know you are busy with the 8800 problems and all, but will shadows AND infantry be back in 1.04?
