Weird graphic errors ...

Panther, PowerBook G4 with ATI Radeon. The 4 station shows some strange effects. From certain angles (usually looking at the docking bay) some gray triangles explode over the whole screen. Basically the whole station is covered by a single triangle. Looks like it is supposed to be part of the top/bottom of the docking bay, but one of the base points of the triangle is way off. This is a fairly recent problem. I have not seen this anywhere else, yet, and I can't really reproduce it. Strange.

Off-Topic: Vendetta hasn't crashed for weeks now. COOL!

The random triangles are probably an issue with the vertexbuffers or indexbuffers. However turning them off seems to slow the game down a lot. If you want to experiment, there is a text file called config.ini in your Vendetta.app bundle. It has a couple settings called dovertexbuffers=1 and doindexbuffers=1. Try setting one or the other to 0. However setting dovertexbuffers=0 automatically sets doindexbuffers to 0 internally even though it would still say doindexbuffers=1.
