that's really weird...are you using a MAC? - looks like it from the screenshot above...that could be the problem. I think programmers shold just make anything divided by zero = zero so there's no confusion, but that's just me.[lol]

there was a patch released for this some time ago though it was never announced at the NL site but rather at the ( R ) site so word did not get around, there are many users having this problem, so I hear from visiting other sites. I don't know the URL to the bug fix. It would have been better to post the patch to the terraformer over where it was released. www.nolimitscoaster.de not some other biased choice coaster gaming site.

I made XP look like Mac OS X Thanks to a Windows Blinds skin found at www.wincustomize.com

Where could I get the terraformer patch?

i got a email from technical suppport saying:
What video card do you have? We found out that a special Intel onboard video card has some problems with the Terraformer.


Kindest regards,

so that pretty much solves the problem

Ha, gonna get a 9800 Pro or XT. Benchmarks at around 100,000 or something like that, cant remember exact number.
On topic now, I have never seen that, but how do you fix the error where it cannot load the track?

What you need to do is get the latest version of the Terraformer... Which is v1.3.1.1 and you can get it from here:
http://www.gravimetricstudios.com/softw ... /index.cfm

Once you have this installed, start the Terraformer (do NOT load any tracks or create any terrain). From the menu select "Options" and then "Options..." On the left side of this window click "Miscellaneous". On the right side you will see "Disable Lighting", put a check mark there and click "OK".

This is a common problem with Intel brand video chipsets and OpenGL. Even Intel knows about it but I guess doesn't care about it. If you want more information about it, you can do a search on google and you will find tens of thousands of pages from people having problems with different software and Intel video. Or you can go to Intel's own website and look through the forums and support to find even more.
