Annoying lines appear when I play cw1 now.

Ebon Heart · June 03, 2011, 09:15:22 PM

These stupid lines keep showing up now whenever I play creeper world 1... why? They assault every OCD fiber of my being! Does anyone know how to get rid of them? btw, if anyone's wondering about the dramatic title... it's cw1 gameplay discussion, you wouldn't be reading this otherwise.
EDIT: changed title since this topic is now under suggestions.

I guess.
Because you have updated version of adobe air.
Will lead to this problem.

You could have posted in the appropriate board, called Support.

Ever noticed this functionality?

Hmmm, that isn't good news. Is this your own experience, or did you read something at the Adobe forums?

My idea is.
This problem did not happen.
(so the game itself is not a problem.)
Only install the adobe air will affect the game.
This is necessary to install is not it?

Reasonable guess ???
Adobe air update causes problems.

Adobe AIR itself is necessary, but you don't particularly need the latest update.

You mean it didn't happen before you installed the latest Adobe AIR update? So it works fine with the version of Adobe AIR that comes with CW1?

Ebon Heart · June 04, 2011, 11:24:45 AM

I'm not sure.... is there a way to revert back to the last version of Adobe AIR? it does sound like that's the problem... and yes, this is my game. And it's slowly stealing my sanity. Also, I suppose this should have been in support.

knucracker · June 04, 2011, 11:45:58 AM

What OS are you on? And did you only start seeing this after an upgrade of adobe air? It appears to be a bitmap rendering problem that isn't affecting anything other that just the bitmaps. If this is the case, you might also see the lines in other parts of the user interface (like the chronom maps, or maybe even the main menu background?)

CJY101 · June 04, 2011, 12:23:20 PM

I do not understand , sorry.

My English is not good enough.

I went to try to update Adobe AIR 2.6
(creeper world 2 demo, Use Adobe AIR 2.6)

Lead lines appear.

Only on maps and map editor appears.

use windows xp

Ebon Heart · June 04, 2011, 12:28:34 PM

It's only on the terrain of maps... not on units, or the menu. But any map, I get those lines. And I think it was Adobe Air... but I just downgraded Adobe Air and they didn't go away.

knucracker · June 04, 2011, 01:04:00 PM

When did you first notice these lines? I'm trying to correlate their appearance with something that changed.

I just tried CW1 under AIR 1.5.3 and air 2.6.0 on windows XP but don't see any lines. I assume that you see these lines when running in a window and full screen?

ontheworld · June 04, 2011, 02:17:28 PM

I have adobe 2.6, using windows XP, and don't get them. It must be something else...

knucracker · June 04, 2011, 02:29:24 PM

It could be some weird interaction between certain graphics cards/ drivers and recent AIR releases. They have been adding acceleration support, so this could have something to do with it. Maybe making sure that the graphics drivers are up to date would resolve the issue.

Ebon Heart · June 04, 2011, 03:03:53 PM

I have no idea, I've tried downgrading adobe air, window size has no effect on it... and I'd try re-installing cw1, but it appears as though I've lost my key.... I still have my cw2 key though. odd.

knucracker · June 04, 2011, 03:10:51 PM

When you uninstall and reinstall CW (1 or 2) your gameData.dat and your key remain in place and don't get uninstalled. If you switched users or something like that, you could appear to lose access to the key.

You can mail me with any purchase info you used (like your email address) and I can look up your key and send it to you.
