At this point I am just beginning to grasp the layout of your code in general, let alone being able to do some serious bug hunting, so I make no apologies for not being able to give you a fix at this time. I do not know if the released code is even compilable as there is no reference in the source as to how to do it (except for the c# project files).


It may be compilable with some fiddling, but it is not intended to be so, nor are we accepting bug fixes from the released code.

Thanks for taking the time to help the team better understand what's going on with ATI Radeon cards. I'm wondering why the "availability" of polygons is so different for nVidia vs ATI - especially with model you have -1GB!

As for making a contribution to OR, if you'd like to become formally involved please let us know.

I have a Radeon 4800 HD 1Gb and I am seeing similar behaviour.

I too see this. IMO the key point that needs to be understood is the statement "Using special tools that display the amount of video and texture memory for the ATI cards in game this lack of particles occurs no matter how many polygons are being displayed".

If that's simply The Answer™, it's time to look into a different way of generating particles.
