Rendering anomaly (@GrayFace)

[Emjayen]

Game began exhibiting the below behaviour, am wondering if you've ever experienced it during your work with MM7 (and if so, what causes it):



(clean 1.1 installation)

EDIT: Come to think of it, looks almost like a bloodsplat ... except in rhw coordinates. I've tried every permutation of video related settings, still persists.

EDIT2: Nevermind. Seems like the game relies on Win9x heap implementation behavior -- applying the EmulateHeap compatibility fix resolved it.

Looks like a fractal actually. But glad to hear you solved it

Is it with the latest version of my patch?

1.1, your patch fixes the bug. I looked over the source, may have been this:

Code: Select all

//----- A beam of Prismatic Light in the center of screen that doesn't disappear

var
  FixPrismaticBugStd: function(size, unk: uint):ptr cdecl;

function FixPrismaticBug(size, unk: uint):ptr; cdecl;
begin
  Result:= FixPrismaticBugStd(size, unk);
  ZeroMemory(Result, size);
end;

As when using software rendering, it does indeed look a lot like prismatic light.
