Can anyone help?
Can't tell from your video but I'll check tonight. What I'm guessing it'll be is you need to go into your hippy form and shoot a symbol somewhere to flip the gravity. .

Nice Demo. Very smooth with max settings, 6xAAA/16HQAF.

Do I need 24bit Z buffer depth? I have it enabled but quite honestly this is my first experience with an OpenGL title on the PC.

Prey is D3D, not OpenGL.

Really? Wasn't Doom3 OpenGL?

Yes. The graphics engine was re-written to use D3D for Prey. This is an Xbox360 title, it must use D3D.

"In the last week of June 2005 Kevin Franklin, our lead coder here, and Ben Cosh rolled up their sleeves and started to convert the Prey code base from scratch. Their first move was to get the engine running on the PC in Direct X rather than Open GL"

DirectX is not Direct3D. In the demo console it clearly says OGL renderer. Doh.

And in the quote I provided it cleary states it's not OGL "running on the PC in Direct X rather than Open GL"

Doh for you.

Look, it doesnt matter what your little 1 year old quote says. The renderer is openGL - download the demo and see for yourself. :disgust:

Yeah I found that. LOL now I am stuck in the area with the big sphere that goes up and comes again from downwards... :eek: (I must be stupid or something..) :laugh:
