• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

REX OverDrive Released!

The progressive blackout occurs with XP Pro too. It's not a problem unless you are trying to do something else while the files are transferring in which case a refresh (or clicking on the desktop icon in the tool bar) gets rid of it.

I believe you, but strangely, I never saw the blackout when I was running REX 2.0 under Vista. The only other variable I can think of is that I upgraded to faster DRAM, so maybe there's an issue there. In any case, no big deal now that I understand what's going on and how to work around it. Back, now, to our regular texture-exploration programming, already in progress...
 
I can't get over how these new HD textures have minimal impact on my frames. I'm a glutton for punishment so I maxed out everything the first time I used the Overdrive textures and am very pleased with the results.:ernae:
 
I didn't want to think it - the whole 'xyz improved my frame rates' is so endless and usually exaggerated - however...

I can fly with cumulus clouds now where I could'nt before - so it is definitely creating less of a hit

imagine that
