Some CoJ problems

Darg · 24 Jul 2007 at 10:51

Okay, trying to get this game running okay on the bosses comp. Downloading the 1.10 patch for it now.

Two problems at the moment. Firstly the shadow bug. Has this been fixed yet for ATi cards? It seems quite common when I googled it but not much word on fixes for ATi cards.

Second problem is with his Saitek P2900 joypad. It almost works fine but the look joystick (the one on the right) is completly messed up with the camera going in pretty random directions to where you want it to. Bottom left on the stick is up, top right is left, top left is down and pretty much everywhere else is right.

Anyone know a fix to these problems?

EDIT: btw the joypad is calibrated fine in windows.

Shadow problem? Is it where it's in shadow and it kind of reveals the light as you walk? :confused:

re: the other problem, look in the coj or mydocs/coj folder should be a config file.

The shadows seem to repeat and are in places they shouldn't be. Like I could see my own shadow in three places up on the cliff above me.

I seem to have a similar shadow bug, not the same, it's like a block of shadow and as you move it corrects itself

What OS are you both running? Vista HP 32 bit here

looked into the ATI release notes

Call of Juarez: Enabling AA no longer result in occasional corruption being noticed. Further details can be found in topic number 737-28455

maybe shadow corruption?

Haven't updated the patch yet. Too big a file to download in work. Is that from the latest 7.7 catalyst drivers knowledge? I have 7.6 on this comp.

Code:

InputSettingDigital("&ActionName_LookUp&", "", 0, -1, 0)
InputSettingDigital("&ActionName_LookDown&", "", 1, 1, 0)
InputSettingDigital("&ActionName_TurnLeft&", "", 2, -1, 0)
InputSettingDigital("&ActionName_TurnRight&", "", 3, 1, 0)

That's the controls for the joypad. I've tried just about everything I can think of. The annoying thing is the game randomly resets them. When I set it to what's above I can atleast get the controls to be up and down = left and right and left and right = up and down. I've tried setting the joypad axis in between the "" like on the movement controls and I've tried changing it to analog input but nothing. Why the heck don't they let you set the controls for looking around in the game??

Yep, it is.

Try setting it to read-only, if it isn't already. I'll run a joypad test tonight, if you can't solve it by then.
