Its a piss off annoying problem with ATI graphics cards. I get it a lot when walls with detailed textures are viewed at odd angles with my Radeon 9500 Pro. The problem was submitted to ATI who then said "we cannot reproduce the problem". Someone submitted more info concerning the problem to ATI, last I heard.

I get this problem all the time.
/westwood/renegade/wwconfig change the settings to max and it will be fixed.

[you can't do it in-game, for some reason it won't work...]

It's nothing to do with the video card. You're using Vertex Lighting. Change it in the Renegade configuration to Multi-Pass Lightmaps and it will work itself out. Put the texture filter to trilinear, too.

It could be to do with the video card. I had something similar. (and it's a pretty common problem with my card fx 5200)

What card do you have?

But a lighting problem would make sense.

In my experience, there is a glitch in WWConfig that causes 'Lighting Mode' and 'Texture Filter' to be reset to 'Vertex' and 'Bilinear' if you change anything else withint WWConfig and then close it without "seeing" them set as something else; that is, clicking on 'Expert Mode' so that the two settings become visible.

I still have the exact same problem. It didn't do it with the drivers included with my card, but unfortunately the CD is apparently unreadable. Mad

I also have that problem and was hoping they'd fix it but it looks like they won't. There's a previous version of the drivers that worked okay, but I can't remember which version.

I would go back, but the newer ones perform better it other games such as Generals. Confused

I have always had this problem since I got my Radeon 9500 Pro and never had it with my Geforce4 ti4200. I am not sure mine is the same as the one which was shown in the original post, but changing those settings still doesn't fix what I am experiencing. http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1358740966

From furthur research there's one of 2 things happening. Either 1: The number of and size of the artifacts is very eradic or 2: Changing the setting as instructed by Aprime and Ack actually makes the problem more common in-game.

Try multi-texture lightmaps if you have a Radeon.

I have the same "problem", and I have a Nvidia GF4 MX 440 64 Mb, so it's not ATI/Radeon only. I'll try Acks suggestion if I can be bothered to fix something as minute as this Razz

The conclusion I came to is by doing ack's fix all that happened is the problem started appearing on even more textures than before, includinf metal textures and many more ground textures.

It's a problem with the Catalyst drivers for the Radeon cards. If you're really bothered by the flickering, revert to the 3.4 or 3.5 Cats; I hear those work. I recently installed the 3.2 Catalysts from the CD that came with my video card, and the flickering was gone.

The specific problem mentioned is caused by "vertex lighting". You might need to play with the settings to get it right for your video card, just avoid the "vertex lighting" one.

It's also a level specific problem. Since the smoothing groups for Canyon were all over the place, the lighting doesn't transition from mesh to mesh undetectably. Tse Cheng rushed it.

He also didn't calculate vertex lighting before exporting it. Only a few levels have this problem. Since all custom levels are forced into vertex lighting, you'll see this problem occur on them if the author was lazy or didn't know what they're doing.

I have never tried vertex, i thought the problem was in one of the other choices...
