Radar problems

[Black Mage]

Hello,

I have some radar problems. I downloaded the latest verison of bz flag yesterday. I plaid whit JUR earlier today and had some problems. JUR was purple but on my radar was he/she yellow and when i shoot a shot the first shot on the radar is yellow. When JUR grabd a flag he became the normal team collor but the flag went yellow.

I have some screenshoots but no idea how to print them into the post.

Pleace help,

You can add them as an attachment here. Also, please provide what operating system, video card, and video driver version you are using. Also, is this the first time you installed BZFlag on your computer, or did you have a previous version installed? If you had a previous version, what version was it?

[Black Mage]

Operative system: Windows 7
Videa card: Mobile Intel(R) 945 express chipset Family
Video driver: Intel(R) Graphics Media accelerator driver for Mobile
First time i downlad to this compuer.

I have noticed this affect only comes on tanks whit the collor of purple.

Specify the driver version, date, and provider too.

Go to the Device Manager, expand Display adapters, double click on your device, go to the Driver tab, and you'll find the driver provider, date, and version there.

And if you could attach a screenshot (either here, or via a site like http://photobucket.com/ , that would be helpful as well)

EDIT: Also, is this a laptop or a desktop? (Probably doesn't matter, but just wondering)

Was it this you where looking fore?

Driver provider: Intel Corporation
Driver date: 9/23/2009
Driver version: 8.15.10.1930
Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

And yes I`m playing on a laptop.

Will try to get the print screen up. But have no idea how.

you probably want to see if your laptop mfg. has newer drivers for it.

Or take a chance and grab them from Intel directly. The official Intel ones don't always install (I use them anyway via a manual driver upgrade, but I'm on a much older platform). Disadvantage is that you might lose some functionality, or they might not work at all. The ones from your laptop manufacturer may have been customized for use on your system.

Intel's page shows this as the latest version:
15.12.75.4.1930 (10/2/2009) for 32-bit Windows 7
15.​12.​75.​4.​64.​1930 (10/2/2009) for 64-bit Windows 7 (note the extra '64' in the version - otherwise identical)

Not sure if the version numbering on their site is the same as what they show in the device manager as it seems to be a different format.

Just did a full update.

I have the latest fore my computer.

I can put up some screen shoots if someone give me a step by step guide.

If you would, also post a screenshot of your Display Settings screen and the GUI Settings (both from within the Options menu). Also, you can include multiple screenshots in a single post (just so you know for the future).

[Black Mage]

Here you go.

[blast]

In the Display Settings, turn Smoothing on.

Problematic radars are definitely no good, since they will not hold up in court... did you remember to do the external tests on the unit with the tuning forks before using it?

[Black Mage]

I have no idea what you said.

Where can i find this "test"

If was a joke... it is an old argument for getting out of getting a ticket for speeding when you get caught in a radar speed trap by the police.

Did you try my suggestion?

[Black Mage]

Yes and it seems to bee working but now the base colors is gone.
