I just noticed in warcraft 3, when making orc buildings, still underconstruction, the smoke coming on the buildings change from brown (normal) to black. Has anyone had this issue?

dolby, we're getting mighty picky aren't we?

have you compared the smoke to another video card?

[dolby]

I thinks it a problem :/ Not that big though. I've never had this problem with gfmx card.

I thought it was supposed to do that, lol! Maybe the brown stuff is just dust they're kicking up and then they light a fire in there and it turns black. -shrugs- I'm not worried about the color of smoke coming out of my buildings under construction. Little white dots popping up, yes... artifacts all over the place, yes... different colored smoke? Who cares.

It has never happened before on my g2 gts/max . Are you also experiencing this kind of thing, kestrel?

[dolby]

hmmm. strange. I lowered the particle setting to medium and the 'problem' was fixed.

Yes, and I think it is a real effect. As you state in another post, lowering the particle setting to medium "fixes" this "problem". It looks good to me as an effect. I don't want to fix it. ;p I think it's just warcraft3's people playing around with pixel shaders.
