Anyone running dark mod on windows 7 64 bit successfully? What workarounds and settings do you have?

For some reason my game has graphical corruption seconds after getting to main menu. Happens in vanilla doom 3 as well. Apparently it has to do with opengl, at least that's what I was reading about. I also tried disabling desktop composition, and that doesn't work.:nono:

Yes, and I didn't do anything with it. Only played the training mission on this OS but haven't encountered any problems. I'm with ATI HD5770 and newest Catalyst (and Win7-64).

Win7 64 vanilla here and working perfectly, though I had to turn of Catalyst AI as usual

Have you checked out the troubleshooter at (http://modetwo.net/darkmod/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#Troubleshooting)

If still no luck then post at the tech support forum with details of your system, graphics card, etc... (http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/forum/58-tdm-tech-support/?)

My problem is not listed in the FAQ. I don't have an account at modetwo.

I've attached an image so you can see the problem.

Specs:

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
4 GB of RAM
ATI RADEON HD 4650, catalyst 10.9

I pulled down the console, that's what all the stuff at the top is.

UPDATE:
Well, apparently it has to do with Xfire. If I close down xfire, then it doesn't look like the image attached. :confused: So it's fine as long as xfire is closed.

I've been running in an XFire configuration (2x HD4870) without that problem. So it's not an inherent problem with XFire. I don't have a solution, unfortunately, but at least we can rule out XFire not working at all.

haha nice.;)

@Ishtvan

Strange...

Well after having posted, I fiddled with the xfire Doom 3 configuration through the xfire_games.ini, and determined it has to do with InGameFlags portion.. Which is what I thought. For some reason the settings in that were interfering with doom 3, and after I removed some things from there, I was still able to run xfire, and doom 3 was still able to look proper. Go figure.:weird:

The reason I know my issue was related to xfire was because as soon as I shut down xfire and loaded doom 3, it was fine, but if I loaded xfire back up it would look funky again.:o I also updated my catalyst drivers today to 10.12 and that didn't make any difference, so I knew it wasn't driver related.
