Hey guys.

I recently felt the urge to get back into DR, but have since built a new pc and migrated to windows 10. With the wx widgets versions of dark radiant I am experiencing a strange rendering glitch resulting in edges being distorted in a seesaw like pattern, among other things (see attachment). This bug does not occur on the GTK+ versions (tested with 1.8.1). I dug through the forum and bug tracker without results, but I am hesitant to file a bug report as I tend to overlook things and development has been on the back-burner anyway. Also the error may be caused by a myriad of other things, like wxwidgets' opengl render context, my gpu, windows 10, etc. (If you think it's a good idea I'll create a bug report.) So I was wondering if you guys have experienced similar issues and thus have any idea what causes this behaviour and/or know a fix (apart from using DR 1.8.1, obviously ;~).

 

Relevant specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro

GPU: Radeon R270 w/ 4GB VRAM

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

PS: The render distance is also quite low, is that normal?

PPS: tdm itself looks just fine, in case that matters.

In terms of the render distance, do you have "Enable far-clip plane" checked in the options? If so, uncheck it and it should get your render distance back up for you (it's what I ran into when I installed 2.03 on my new computer).

the problem I had on windows 10 with the wxwidgets is that darkradiant crashes after 10 minutes of use (this be a crash to desktop with wxwidgets has had a problem error), didn't have the graphics problem so its probably the windows 10 graphics drivers for the graphics card you have.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
