SOLVED: SEE NEXT POST

I dunno what they're called, the lights that are on the sides of every ship, I can seem them THROUGH the ship models and textures. I seem to remember this happening in other games (light sources being visible through walls and such) but I can't remember how to fix it. Anyone else experience this?

EDIT: Changing compatibility mode doesn't seem to affect it but switching to Force DirectX 8 solves the problem. Unfortunately DX8 looks kind of awful so if anyone know how to fix this please reply. None of the ingame options except Force DX8 made a difference. Witcher 1 EE apparently had a similar issue that was solved by turning off SLI (tried that, didin't work) or setting my GPU SLI options to Force Alternate Frame Rendering 2 (this didn't work either).

I am using 2 GTX 470s SLI.

For anyone that experienced my issue as described above, I discovered the solution in a Steam forum for Witcher 1.

The explanation is not the best so check it out:

Get the program listed, Nvidia Inspector and run it

Change the profile from GLOBAL_yadaydadawatever to Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (Directx9)

Click the 0x00000000000 in the Compatability Bits row (the bottom row of the first block of settings)

Replace that value with 0x02400005

Click Apply Changes in the top right

Run game as normal, the lights will no longer pass through the models.

Yeah this may seem like a small problem to some people but holy crap did it bother the hell out of me, especially because the graphics are actually quite good considering the age of the title. Course now, having spent an hour figuring this out, I don't even want to play the damn thing...


(I have no idea how to mark something solved so if a mod could do that I'd appreciate it, thanks)

You, sir, are a steely-eyed missile man.

This fixed me as well.
