I am having similar graphic issues where shapes are sent across the map (static ones) that appear and disappear correspondent to position and angle you look at. http://imgur.com/lx7tG8t
I have tweaked with all the settings but have yet to find a solution.
P.S. the buffered rendering looks odd in the screenshot, but is actually fine in game as intended (As I have a legit copy of the game so know these things)
The SVN version also displays the map (as of today SVN, unsure previous), but otherwise still the same glitches.
If that were fixed this would be a fully playable game, as I can run around and shoot enemies and pick up items as usual, just with cluster in the way.

any news?

*updating compatibility list.

[piratefinn]

As I posted here on github, the issue is currently still present on 0.9.5
Comes with a youtube video there too showing it. Still ingame as such but not fully playable due to the graphical error.

In-Game screenshots and some spec info in attachments.
No FPS drops, flickering, stuttering, but these weird graphic glitches always bother me.

Merged.

Just dropping an info to anyone who wanted to play this, that it might now be playable in latest git builds(starting from v0.9.9.1-976-g57be5f4).

Have to change Spline/Bezier curves quality to low(in graphics settings) otherwise textures get messed up, but with that, it looks and plays ok.
       

(I didn't tried fast memory nor multithreading, so in case of crashes, you might turn those off)


Edit:
I had some fun playing it now, so I decided to try and do something about those 20 fps, game was designed with variable fps modes so patching this was extremely easy.

Code:

//Important note: Do NOT casually switch fps in-game as it will not be applied correctly and will desynchronize the game speed. Best to apply those patches in main menu or somewhere and keep activated all the time. _S ULUS-10019 _G CODED ARMS _C0 60 fps _L 0x20079E68 0x34030001 _L 0x2028A6F0 0x00000001 _C0 60 fps [Disable] _L 0x20079E68 0x00031C03 _C0 30 fps _L 0x20079E68 0x34030002 _L 0x2028A6F0 0x00000002 _C0 30 fps [Disable] _L 0x20079E68 0x00031C03

Make note that this is for ULUS-10019 version of the game;p, almost surely will not work in any other.

Thanks so much! Now i can finally play this game, so far so good

I have just finished the game, everything went well. Following what LunaMoo said fixed the graphics issue.

The spline/bezier thing has been fixed, and people are reporting positive results with this game:

If anyone's interested ~ made a patch similar to this one to allow right analog aiming for this game:

Make sure to actually set right analog in control mapping since it's on the bottom of the list and not assigned by default.

Didn't really had time to test it properly, but it's even simpler game than the previous I patched that way so I don't think it will have any problems. Edit: ~and found a bug with turning around;p, hopefully fixed now. Edit2: and another not much of a bug, unless loading older savestates also fixed;p.

Edit long time later: Fail! At some point my copy paste skills failed and I copied cheat from my ini file into here without name/activation line... oh well, nobody told me that, so apparently this game is not popular.

60~30 fps and better controls, you just made this worth replaying.

[LunaMoo]

If you already got it, better copy it again as I made some improvement/fix.
~ Have fun. :3
