FreeOrion

Hello there,

I'm completely brand new, but I did my due diligence and checked out the bugtracker and support forums before posting.

So, when I launch the game, I'm getting this strange garbledness behind the mouse cursor:



Inside the game:





Any ideas?

Graphical glitches such as this are usually driver issues. Make sure you've got the latest available drivers for your hardware, preferably from the graphics hardware manufacturer, and not Microsoft or your computer maker.

Just updated my drivers last month... Hmmm.

The drivers may just not work well with OpenGL, or the specific bits and way of using the bits that FreeOrion (and its dependencies) needs.

It might help to switch between fullscreen and windowed modes.

Yeah, not sure... the problem exists in both versions.

Oh, well, I'll try updating my drivers again and if not just wait for the next version of FO to come out.

Have a similar issues with Linux version, builded from svn on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I'm using latest proprietary Catalyst drivers (11.12). Fullscreen / windowed mode doesn't matter.

Static build of freeorion 0.3.15 for Linux does not have this issues.
