Hey all,

I have downloaded several courses for TW 08 as well as all libraries that they require, so I do not understand why I have black tee markers, buildings, etc. on various custom courses.
I did a search for black textures, but only came up with a topic listing a problem like that with regards to building a course. I am not building one, just playing courses made by someone else.

Anyone got any ideas on why I am getting these "blacked out" items?

This is a normal thing that happens to all of us, and the only way to help with this sometimes is to turn you shader level down through 08 TW in-game settings(;Under Options) to low or medium. Shader level is the one setting I put at medium myself so I can see these structures better. Plus, the water textures have ripples with movement to them too instead of the glassy flat look.

Not much else one can do about this I believe, and your PC is just fine so ya know. Since the CA(;program used to make courses) was made in 06, and the lighting used back then just doesnt jive with the way the new 08 game renders things. Apparently some newer structures made for the game just show black sometimes. Some structures show up worse than others, and Im not competely sure why this is yet....

Hope this helps ya out

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, what you are saying does make sense, it's a shame EA never saw fit to keep CA updated along with the advances in TW over the years.

There was a solution to this problem for lib designers, by using the LC from the 2002 game. The structure libraries I did during the last year or so shouldn't have this problem. (Chimaera Design)
