Any opengl guru's ?

I wonder if you could explain something for me.
I'm getting this problem (amd 6950)

It goes away when you turn off AA
Could someone explain how AA could create an inverted circular image superimposed over the frame
tnx...
 
I can hazard a guess...

Whatever that gun does when it's fired probably applies an effect defined by the circular region. Likely it's a stencil mask to save it running on every pixel and since the circle contains the scene data it's probably some sort of heat shimmer, lensing or reflection effect.

It's probably only happens when antialiasing is enabled simply because MSAA is slower to debug so probably didn't get tested properly in a driver regression. Not too surprising as it's quite an old title. It's probably upside down because whoever wrote it is more familiar with DirectX and forgot OpenGL has a different coordinate system.

Maybe :)
 
Thank you for that Pix
ps: the gun is a sort of gravity gun ala halflife 2

pps: do you think game error or driver error ?
 
If it's AMD only then I'd assume it's an OpenGL driver bug. Developers like ID don't tend to miss things like that - it probably worked with the drivers at launch.
