hi eauque,

well, it looks like a render device problem, eh?
first thing to do is update your graphics drivers to the latest version. please try that and let us know.

thanks,
eddy

I had the latest driver for this card.

I installed the drivers available from OmegaDrivers and I can now play the game.
Gotta love tweakers who spend time to make alternative drivers.
I found some posts from other folks seeing the same type of issue (different games). So odd that the drivers from ATI effectively broke OpenGL.

Wishing there were more levels in the preview! Gonna have to save up some money to buy the game.

Thank you!

thanks for letting us know.

I am having trouble with a netbook running the Osmos demo. My netbook with an intel atom and the intel gma 950 goes to a gray screen at launch. I have an old laptop with a geforce 4 with only 16mb of video ram that actually runs the game pretty good which makes me even more surprised. Any help with this issue?

Hi greyfoxzero,

Have you tried running Osmos in D3D mode instead, as described on the Osmos FAQ?

Thanks,
Dave
