Title: White screen in chat
Post by: iL on February 02, 2015, 06:44:03 PM
Sorry, i was not able to find previousely created topic about this problem.
One time chat just becomes white.
I got the image to see it just now:
(http://www.war2.ru/modules/newbb_plus/cache/attachments/4785_1422896463.jpg)
Who else have such problem?
I'll try to fix that switching some banners off.

Let me know if problem is still active.

yeah happens to most of us after we alt+tab  and then come back to chat... once banner changes, the screen turns white.

If just having one banner will fix it for now , I think that forum banner should be the one up 24/7 or a updated forum banner

if you put only one banner it gonna create the color bug.

When this white screen happen you just have to w8 for the next alternate banner and it gonna fix it.

Nice thread but i already know this probleme since 2 month ago.

You guys are slow!

Well If you leave 1 banner you'll be dealing with one problem (whitechat) but bringing a worse problem, . Colorbug.

Whitechat is fixable by creating/cancelling game. it doesnt autofix with banner rotation as EQ said, for me at least it doesnt, but who cares as long it is FIXABLE.. by a simple click. no hassle.

but if one is to go fixing colorbug, we'd have to go kill all windows process including explorer.exe or some funny ridiculous method no one will even do. Banner rotation is the only fix vs colorbug we really know as of today. Dont change banners :P

hy do the banners cause the white screen?
I guess it could be caused by different palettes for different images (i mean banners). Maybe to make all the banners with the same palette to fix that? Not sure how to do that.
I removed 1 banner, is the problem still active now?

ddraw refactoring should be the next important thing for research anyways.

Still the same probleme, this is cause by the rotation, but it fix color bug, why everyone cry.

And since you delete my banner we got both probleme, color bug and white screen LOL

Anyway you dont have permission to use my banner anymore, so now you have two problemes.

Good luck!

I just wasn't sure if i converted your banner properly, i hoped it palette is broken and causes this bug.

It's up to you, it's your banner.

Good luck to you too.

Removed all the banners except one.
That should stop the slideshow and avoid the problem while resolving it

in my case, whitechat happens very rarely. about 1 out of 5 alt-tabs.

whereas colorbug happens every single time.

iL put back the banners man, did you not read thread? why made thread if you weren't gonna hear players opinions.  :P

and i dont think im alone in this, does whitechat happen every single time you all alt-tab? ?

IL can't do nothing, considere it was only my banner fixing the probleme.

He can buy me this banner for 49.99$

It does for me. I was messing with it on my server, and from what I can tell the Naproxen colorfix (the little app that auto kills & restarts explorer.exe) fixes both problems, at least for me on my computer (Win7). Is there any reason we can't just roll that into the war2combat installer and make it the main shortcut that gets added to the desktop?

I really don't see killing the explorer.exe as a real solution to the problem, killing it makes it difficult to multitask while playing warcraft. i.e playing music from youtube or running warvideo.

white screen way much better then color bug because it happen rarely.

Color bug is permanent, everytime you alt tab.

uh no, color bug still allows you to text and chat. White screen completely handicapped until you made a pseudo game or reconnected to Ru to fix the problem.

White screen appear rarely, when it happen you just have to w8 untill banner switch to the other one. If he dint repair you just have to create a game wich took 2 sec and everything is good.

Color bug is always, everytime you alt tab, it not good for eyes and will ruined your eyes to always play like that.

How much did post about color bug? There was 6 person who realize white screen it was happening, im pretty sure most of the server was prefering white screen bug way before color bug.

For once in ten years i was able to play almost the time with the real color channel and the icons, but now i dint even see or realize icons anymore because color bug is always.

It's not a real solution, it's an effective workaround, and it's better than nothing. (Better than newbs getting randomly spammed with technicolor the moment they log on for the first time.) It does affect multi-tasking to some degree but doesn't totally handicapp it (alt+tab still works fine), and anyway there can't be that much shit that you absolutely have to do in the middle of playing wc2. You can always just close and restart the game if you really need to do something.

The main problem is very individual. Killing explorer helps someone in several cases, but doesn't help others. Or doesn't help the same guy in some other cases.
And it's also very agressive solution.

whitescreen happened to me quite often.
Is it fixed for you now after we keep 1 banner only?
