GRLevelX Video (Colors) Issue On NetBooks?

[cdcollura]

Good day all,

Has anyone came across this coloring "issue" from GRLevelX shown below?

Above: The image of storms on GRLevel3 ... The color "peripherals" do not seem correct with the storm cores. But notice the color sale to the left for DBz looks OK.

Above: Same image on another computer (my desktop), in this case, the colors appear blended normally.

Note: The top image (the incorrect colors) is on an Acer Netbook running 800x600 with 24 bit color depth. The SAME configuration as the desktop example.

Has anyone seen this behavior with GRLevelX and was able to correct it?

I have seen this issue before. Its a bug in Intel's graphics drivers (or possibly a bug in GrLevel3's use of Direct3D9 that doesn't surface in AMD or NVidia hardware). Unfortunately, I don't know of a fix other than to get updated drivers for your Intel graphics adapter. You might already have up to date drivers, and that might not fix the problem either. I'd post it over on the GrLevel3 owner's forum and see if Mike has any insights.

EDIT: Ah yes, Derek has it: the force 16-bit smoothing fix. I remember seeing that come up before.

I went to device settings for grlevelx and checked 'force 16bit smoothing' ... (happens to be on an old dell laptop)

It did that on my laptop once, for me it was an easy quick fix but I cant remember what I did exactly. Try going to device settings and check the "force 16 bit smoothing" box or maybe try using a different color table from grlevelxstuff.com

EDIT: Derek beat me to it lol

Yep, that will do it!

YUP! That did it!

Menu-Path: File -> Device Settings -> Check the "16-bit smooting"

You guys are the best ;-)
