Hi all and sorry for my english.

 

I have a problem with Dark Radiant.

Vista is the issue. Or Aero rather.

 

Right-click on the shortcut, choose compatiblity mode XP if possible, and most importantly disable desktop composition.

 

(There might also be a desktop comp choice in your preferences now. I thought I heard that but havne't looked)

This can be taken care of inside Dark Radiant.

 

Open Dark Radiant and click Edit / Preferences / and choose compatibility from the list on the left. Put a checkmark in 'disable desktop composition'.

 

That should fix it.

If this is gonna be a sticky then I suggest the title be changed. I get tired of reading that DR don't work when obviously it does. Prefix an 'If' or add a question mark. The title was always wrong anyway. Posters ought to post 'I can't get DR to work' not say it doesn't work when clearly everybody else is using it OK.

 

I often think stickies should have their own forum and just have a single sticky in each forum marked say FAQ or IMPORTANT, Read this - with links or we end up with half the first page being stickies.

I unpinned the topic and changed the title.

Yeah but it's still not true is it? DR views are not all white. "My DR views are all white" would be correct. Anyway, since it is no longer a sticky it can pass down the list so no worries.

A few minutes ago I installed DR on my new computer to continue working on my mission but had the same issue. Then I checked first page of editor guild to search keywords such as white, Darkradiant then bingo! thanks thebigtaffer and new horizon.

Note that there also exists a different solution, if you want to keep Aero on while mapping:

 

http://darkradiant.sourceforge.net/faq.php (right at the bottom of that page)

 

Quit DarkRadiant

Open nVidia Control Panel

Go to 3D Settings

Go to "Program Settings"

Add DarkRadiant.exe to the list

Switch off "Threaded Optimization" for DarkRadiant.exe

Apply and Exit
