I noticed on the decal forums (sorry I'm too lazy to register there) that you can't run in 16 bit color and have decal show up..


well its been showing up ingame for me and working for the most part.. I'm having problems running 3 clients w/ decal at once so maybe that will do something.


edit: maybe my graphics card was getting fussy switching between 16-32 bit colors when i was alt tabbing between accounts. I kept getting a blue screen. I would think my ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition would be able to run a bunch of clients... oh well I'll fool around with it more tomorrow its late.

Is this fix for Decal still vailid with new version?

==========================


What is "this fix"?


I'd say that most of those issues are common with users in any version of Decal, and most of the resolutions seem pretty accurate..


the only one I'd add is that if Decal is not displaying ingame, make sure that the Export doesn't show the Application in the Launcher.ini file as being ACDCClient.exe unless you have ACDualClient 7.2.2 installed. Otherwise, it should say ACClient.exe.

Fix to help people have issues with Decal not working - since this is old post maybe the solutions are valid or not valid anymore


What did you think I meant??? It is Rhetorical question so don't bother answering.

the problem is.. there are MANY issues.... you specified only one (based on gramatical context).


some of the issues might have already been fixed.. some of them are still there, but the workarounds are valid, and some NEW problems came up.. so there really is no good answer to your question unless you tell us exactly WHICH issue you were refering to... you can't refer to them all at once because they aren't the same thing.

last issue in the thread - Resolution: Install TreeStats2 0.1.6.2.


TreeStats 0.1.6.3 is the latest 0.1.6.2 has issues.

Drakier, I think you misunderstand - this is not a post about any specif problem. This is a general Decal post - which you have not read -about many general problems which may cure or not the issue.


So without calling you names - I am only asking if these general fixes from 3 months ago are still valid for issues that may or may not be happening now.


Sine you are so full of your self and unhelpful, I would suggest you dont post unless you read and think before clicking.

actually .. I DID read the whole thread.. which lead me to the question I asked you.


and once again, I will reiterate.. there are MANY Decal issues in this thread.. it is not a thread about 1 specific decal issue. That is why the title is Common Decal IssueS and not Common Decal Issue.


Each issue is unique and has a different symptom and fix. They cannot be classified as the same.. the only thing they have in common is that they are problems with decal. You cannot classify by TYPE of problem or FIX to lump them all together because they are each unique.


And to reiterate my last post... some of the issues in Decal have been fixed.. some however haven't and the fixes listed still work for the most part for most of the problems that are still ocurring.


why is it always about Ego with people who dislike Decal or it's developers? You always assume that Ego plays into all our posts... It has nothing to do with ego.. unless you are referring to your own... the real question is.. did YOU read the post? If so, you would have nicely noticed that there is more than 1 issue listed, and more than 1 fix.

tag for future

Issue: AC crashes to desktop when you click on a button on the Decal Bar

Issue: you get a "cImage::loadPortal Failed Loading Portal file ID" error message


Status: likely related to insufficient video memory


Try:

1) run fewer plugins, especially graphics-intensive plugins with large, complex views or plugins with HUDs

2) upgrade to a video card with more memory

3) adjust AC game settings to use less memory

(reduce the game resolution, run in fullscreen mode, lower texture detail settings)


i also have to say.. that that might not fix problem either.. cause i know even if you have enough.. Direct X 9 is very buggy as is...


If I had a choice in either i ran DX 9 or DX8 or lower.. i wouldnt run DX9 thats for sure.. but everything requires DX9 now adays.. so it doesnt matter
