Hi Bart, nothing seems wrong with your model when I open it over here.

That kind of screen weirdness is probably a sign of something going wrong with the video driver, you might try updating to the latest version of your video driver to see if that solves it. Go directly to the web site of the manufacturer of your video card (like nvidia or ati) and see if there is a recent video driver you can download from there.

Does the same model work ok for you in MoI version 2 ?

Hi Michael,

I'll try finding the driver - and tested in 2.0. No problems there - which is great since today's my deadline! :)
I'll let you know if the updated driver does the trick.

Hi Bart, one major difference between v2 and v3 is that v3 makes use of multiple cpu cores for generating the display. Maybe the driver has some problems with that.

You can disable that in v3 by editing the moi.ini file (go to Options > General and push the "Edit .ini file" button), and in the [View] section find the entry for DisplayThreadLimit= and set it to DisplayThreadLimit=1

That would then disable the multi-core use for the display which should effectively make it behave like v2.

If you have an nvidia card you might also go into the driver options and find the setting that says something like "Enable threaded optimizations" and turn that off so the driver is not also trying to use multiple cores a little bit on its own as well.

But possibly just a driver update may work.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the tips! I do indeed use an Nvidia videocard and after disabling the thread-thingy :) the weird behaviour of Moi is finally gone!
By the way, after changing the ini-file like you described, there was an improvement in performance also, except all objects were rendered completely black instead of black lines and grey (or other)-colored sides.

Thanks for the support and keep up the good work - (Illustrator-export with hidden lines, pretty please...)!

Bart
