Hello, i have made a route and I have a problem. As soon as you pass one of the larger objects, the graphics become blurry, when that object is gone, the graphics become normal again. Here two screens to make it clear. Can anyone help me give a solution? Are the objects to heavy?before: you see the trainafter: the train is gone and it is all field you see (exept some cataneries)tnx, Davy

I had a similar problem which I spent about 3hours finding what was up and then correcting it.
First, make sure that every single texture on your route is in 256 colour depth. I find that this is best done using Jasc Paint Shop Pro. make sure that every texture is done (backgrounds etc.) Next, make sure that all your texture sizes are in powers of 2 e.g. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. You can have any combination of these sizes, but make sure that you use nothing else.

I tried it out, all images to 8 bit depth ( 256 colours ) and in powers of 2, but still know use. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I get the blurry effect.

If it's only your route that gives problems why don't you experiment a little by using some other developers track objects to see what results you get. I'm not saying that you should publish anything without permissions, but just try different routes track objects and perhaps you will see why some work and some don't.BVE seems to like GeForce graphics cards better than most others, so I would use the machine that has the MX in it first. There have been some strange problems in the past that were caused by graphics cards, although BVE does not make great use of them at present.Tony H
