~~VWR-1556~~ Water falls back to shaderless version on Vista

Description

« Hide

When using the computer with ATI card, water ripple and highlights are not showing at all.
When I start the client on another computer with an older Nvidia card, the water is plain beautiful.

Settings tested in the SL viewer are ALL from Low to Ultra, same problem

Looks like you've got a similar spec machine to me and are having the same problems.

Check out ~~VWR-1556~~ for non-Windlight issues relating to water ripples

Out of interest, is [edit] [preferences] [graphic detail] [Enable Ripple Water] grayed out?

There's also ~~VWR-3184~~ which relates to similar problems with the WindLight viewer.

However, as it seems WindLight has a very long way to go before it's in any state to be used as the main viewer, I dearly wish that some effort is made to fix the standard viewer promptly.

Dupe of ~~VWR-1556~~.
