Thank you, I did bumble into that. Sadly, the editor says it won't work in OpenGL mode.

Here is what it looks like. Which is great.



Thanks for the help!!

Are you able to work effective with the editor when it looks like that?
I have still win 7.

I feel like I am going to puke when it looks like this! lol

Also, it acts squirrely, selecting things is slow, and right click menus are all lagged. It makes me sad.

Perhaps something related to your graphics card's driver/settings may be making UEd try its best 70s-era 3D effect impression? To that end, another test you could try would be, while staying with the D3D renderer, to check your card's control panel for a feature allowing per-program settings customization (both big brands offer it, I believe), and if one exists, manually add UnrealEd.exe in there and set most/all properties to their lowest settings to see if that at least gets it to stop this rendering weirdness.

Red Green stereo!!

I did not see anything in the Nvidia panel for program specific. I did reduce the settings for the monitor it is in and it does not improve despite making things set super low.

I discovered if you resize the viewport it temporarily clears up. As soon as you move around it breaks again. So thats awesome!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks, Miau!

It's the new 3D feature!

Andrew, did you see this post from a few pages back?

Btw, I'm also running the editor in compatibility mode for Win 7.
The wait can be annoying sometimes and it feels like the editor freezes briefly a lot, plus there is a weird battle going on about the screen brightness between the editor (bright) and windows (darker), but all-in-all it's tolerable.

After a bit of searching to ensure it's still in the same place as my 4-plus-year-old drivers' settings, it appears you can find this in your nVidia CP's "Manage 3D settings" category, where the first tab, Global Settings, applies the settings to all rendered programs, and the second one, Program Settings, is where you can manually add any specific executable you want, and have its setup deviate from the global values in any way you want. That's where you'd try giving lower settings to UEd.

Still, the fact that resizing the viewports clears it up is good news because it means it's not unsolveable, but probably attributable to a bad mix of interacting factors at one of the 3 stages of the rendering process: OS-to-program compatibility, rendering middleware (DirectX here) and post-rendering effects by the GFX software. If doing the minimum nVidia values test yields no result, that means nV software can be excluded (barring specific driver version problems in general) and some other point in a previous part of the chain is causing the bug. Another thing you could try then is seeing if enabling WinXP/Win7 compatibility for UEd helps any.

Thanks for the tip. Missed that tab for sure.

I have to go to work, when I get back I will experiment.

What I can say is... I turned everything off or all the way down. Some of the meshes show up blocky and weird, but the R-G stereo thing is now gone. The editor still acts sluggishly as well.

As I said, I will work on adjusting some more stuff and see if I can re-break it to let others know should they encounter this issue.

Thank you so much for your help, it is truly appreciated.

Have you installed UT direct under the root (like C:\UT2004)? Wormbo mentioned, somewhere in this topic, that when it's installed in a subfolder or with blanks it could cause problems.

Can you post your hardware (Motherboard, CPU, GPU)?

Do you have an overall reduced system performance since win 10? My opinion is when you have new componets and want to use win you have to use win 10 to get all the performance which is available. But with "old" (4/5 years) componets you will have a performance loss.

I'm not sure, but i think Smalltown had said that when you make a clean install from win 10 it's running better than with the upgrade thing.

With the red/green thing you can use a red/green_goggle. Sorry. It really looks like your GPU is producing an old red/green 3D effect. Has UT this "feature"?
What I found is that this driver IZ3D could be used to made a red/green-3D to 2D programms. Also to UT. Just scroll to the picture.

Btw. wellcome to the forum.

Sure:

Not at all. 3DSMax, Blender and so on all work tops. Corel works good, but the menus are jacked up. InDesign works great too.

Yeah, I tried it with the glasses, no luck for me

Thanks for the welcome. And thank you all for the great help and pointers!
