Title: Snow is blue!!!
Post by: teca on 2007 October 04, 10:56:36
I have a real big problem in my game, everytime i'm in a residential lot and it starts to snow, the ground stays blue, neon blue to be more precise. when i first bought seasons everything was fine so i thought this was due to some hack (i have several in my game) i had downloaded, i tooke them all out of the game and the problem continues. Then i bought bon voyage but the problem wasn't solved. I was just wondering if someone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it. Thanks for the time

Sounds like a driver issue. Update your DirectX and drivers. If you are using the most recent versions, use a less recent version. Remember, sometimes updating your drivers can be the cause of brokenness as much as not updating them can be. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Additional help:

Click here (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us) if you have an Nvidia graphics card and download the appropriate driver based on OS and series.
Click here (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html) if you have an ATI graphics card and download the appropriate driver based on OS and series.

If you don't know what your card is, hit WinKey + "R", type "dxdiag" (no quotes), and hit "Enter".  The "Display" tab will tell you the manufacturer.  You should be up to date with DirectX, but if it turns out that this is not the case, visit this page (https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en) to download the update app.

Are you sure you don't have Targa's pond water recolors installed?  They were causing blue snow in someone else's game; see this thread (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9428.0.html).
