OpenMW renders nothing of the game world.

The game renders nothing... I am using a version downloaded few hour ago via git. (This package)

Code: Select all

$ uname -a

$ glxinfo | grep '^dir\|^Ope'
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 250/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.40
OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
$ openmw (enclosed)

The console seems working, in fact the character is in balmora over one of the bridges.

Show your settings.cfg, please. I have a suspicion.

$ cat .config/openmw/settings.cfg 

[Shadows]
enabled = false

[Water]
shader = false

The problem seems to be fog-related, because the minimap displays fine (and the minimap has fog disabled). But you didn't change any fog-related settings. Maybe it's using a wrong settings-default file? Is the problem fixed when you add this to your settings.cfg ?

Code: Select all

[Viewing distance]
max viewing distance = 5600
fog start factor = 0.5
fog end factor = 1.0

Edit: Got it. The PKGBUILD doesn't install the settings-default.cfg file, so it didn't read the settings in there. As a quick "fix" you can copy everything from settings-default.cfg to settings.cfg.

I'll also add a runtime error that is thrown when there is no available settings-default.cfg, because that can lead to funny results as yours.

Thanks. Using this patch solved the problem.
