That is typically a driver problem or a video card problem. I've seen CS do that only when I had over heating problems with the video card, driver corruption or a failing video card. It is not inherent to CS in my experience and is unique to the system you are running it on. An easy way to narrow down the problem is, fire up a Direct X game that is fairly graphics intensive. If it corrupts then the problem is likely hardware. If it doesn't corrupt then fire up something Open GL based and see if it corrupts then. If so then the problem is the OpenGL portion of the driver.
It's not a perfect test method but it should help. Make sure you are using the latest drivers too. I see you are running Linux so you may not be able to test direct X unless you are dual boot w/ Windows (Obviously). Try a different program that does real time rendering and see what it does, I'm willing to be the problem is the video card itself. What model card are you using? Is the cooling system on the card functional? Fan still spinning... etc? -----Original Message----- From: David Kolovratník [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 2:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CsMain] occasional rendered view corruption To whom it may concern, I write to let you know about rendered view corruption that I can see walking in walktest. It is enough to look around standing at the entry point. I am curious whether the corruption is specific for my hardware or X.org and drives version or whether it is quite common - with the intention to discover how to walk without strange effects. A screen-shot shows an example of a corrupted view, to save words of description: ftp://lola.crfreenet.org/veronika/crystalspace.png Also, I have grabbed both standard and error output of walktest. They go with the e-mail.
