Since the last Beta update the other week, all of my objects went black. If I took off my basic shading I got them back, but lost my sky and water definiton. I reinstalled V2, which gave me what I wanted, but was incredibly laggy. Then during the week, I got booted and no matter what I try, I cant get back in again with it, even though I have reinstalled it many times. Someone suggested disablling the OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects......but that did nothing. My laptop is a fairly powerful one with a good graphics card. It was really happy running on Ultra, now it sits on High and if I try to take it back up to Ultra it just crashes. It does the same if I try and activate the shadows. I am running on Windows 7. Can anyone please help me with any other suggestions, as I really dont want to go to another viewer. Many thanks..........a very frustrated Jinty :(
