Problem... no walls - Korinu - 03-22-2008

I have a strange problem. I didn't find anything on the forum so i post it in a new thread.

The problem is that the walls just pop in when i walk nearby, before that they are just missing.

Here a screenshot:

NVIDIA Geforce 8800GTX 768MB

Seems like the devs forgot to add a portal somewhere.

To optimize games, there are rooms and portals.
Rooms contain parts of the level; for example a hallway.
Portals connect a room together.

When you are not in a room, that room is not being rendered unless a 'Portal' is in your line of sight, and connected to that room.

So unless this happens 24/7 it's just a small bug.

Thanks for the response.
Anyway after upgrading my graphic driver and Windows Vista with the Service Pack 1 everything is working now.

Thanks
