Crashing on startup

Post by Metamartian »

While trying to be sneaky and getting pioneer to work on my work PC...I fire it up and the SDL_app window appears and then the pc goes into some form of blinking panic finally ending in a complete freeze....very similar to this thread[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/topic/1140-can-install-but-wont-run/[/url] is even the same gfx family, so my question is where is this .ini file they refer to disable the shaders that seem to be the answer for that individual. I realise this is many alphas on and things have changed....

I have a minor prob. too!After updating my Graphics driver, and playing with the Shader options on, i get transparent meshes with random white spots on them.Sure can play without problems once i restart with the shaders off.Wasn't a problem with my older drivers thougt.Anyone knows why this particular problem happens?
