Hi

After trying Win98, WinXp, Win 7 and Win 8, and all versions of EAW from a CD copy to 140Module, I have finally gotten a version running on Win 10.

I am using, I think 1.28c and Zeckensecks Glide wrapper I think.

I run it in Glide and it stats fine with no problems.

But when flying, I get a weird horizon corruption (see picture). I have the Glide wrapper set to use only 2 MB textures as I read that somewhere. Th egraphics card is a GT 690 Ti with latest drivers.

Has anyone ever seen this before or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I have not. The proper wrapper program to use is nglide.

And v 140 is standalone, you don't need a version copied from the CD first. You just DL the 140 and extract it.

I know 140 is standalone, i never tried to install it over the cd version.

140 doesnt work for me in that it loads, and then freezes when the plane is sitting on the runway necessitating a reset.

1.28 does work well except for the horizon corruption.

I'm unsure, it just looks like the clouds that are usually there are not, like that rim is using corrupted sky textures.

Plus I don't know which 1.28 version/build your using or where you got it. You should ask Mr.Jelly as he has the latest version of 1.28.

Looks like you have 24bit horizon texture loaded. That normally is how skins look if you forget to convert them to 8bit.

Are you using an old EXE?

The latest 1.40's have Glide 3 added, which work with 24bit textures.


Supports EAW 1.29.exe, Drop in and Play Technology. wink

1.29 download
