Strange graphical bug (Trackmania2) (SOLVED)

[TMarc]

something has definitely changed, or you wouldn't have that issue.
Probably there was a Windows update of the nVidia drivers or something else then.

Could you please use the debug version (see my signature) and upload & link a logfile for us?

Sure, here's the logfile http://pastebin.com/HJAbF6gi

I opened the game, started a new map, placed a few objects, and tried to compute shadows.

Thanks.
I found this in the log:

Code: Select all

[Hms] LightMap: Video caps too low => VeryFast

But your card, GTX580, with >1G RAM, is certainly good enough.

We have to see if the devs have an idea

Okay, thanks. I look forward to hearing back!

I'd like to add a little bit more information to my issue.

1. I see this in the log created by maniaplanet_logs:

Code: Select all

[Sys] "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580"(0x10DE,0x1080) with 5.2.21555.0 (dlumd32.dll)

Implying that my driver version is 5.2.21555.0. TMUF also tells me that my driver version is 5.2.21555.0. This is most definitely not the case, as control panel tells me I have driver version 9.18.13.4448.

2. While having this problem, there was another driver update which I had hoped would fix my issue, it did not.

So at this point, I can say that this is definitely a driver problem, but I don't know if it's Nadeo's problem to fix (for reading my video driver version incorrectly), or Nvidia's (for providing a "bad" driver.)

after a quick google search, dlumd32.dll is "DisplayLink User Mode Driver", and DisplayLink is something about connecting displays vis USB... do you have your display connected via USB? ^^

No I don't. I don't think that could cause this kind of problem, anyway, but thanks for the info.

Were you using any beta driver of nVidia recently or in past times?
Please check if you can disable / uninstall this "DisplayLink" driver.
Try a reinstallation of a new and WHQL nVida driver, with a proper uninstaller that really removes everything from nVidia.

What monitor exactly do you have, and how is it connected to your PC?
VGA? HDMI? DisplayPort?

Uninstalling the displaylink driver did the trick, interestingly enough. I'm surprised that this driver was interfering with my actual display driver... It was a program that I installed while testing an old projector I found. Anyway, thanks for all the help!

great, enjoy the game now
