I blame Bone.

Could you be a bit more specific what this means?

[Pyro]

Monty, do you have "3D Fog" checked in your preferences? If so, turn it off and try that map again. Does it fix it?

[Myrd]

Like Pyro said, it's probably the 3D Fog issue - where 3D Fog doesn't work under OpenGL on some systems. So turning that off in prefs should get rid of the problem.

What video card do you use, by the way?

[Graydon]

Another way to test the same bug would be to load up Salvation _with_ fog on. Should provide the same white screen if it's the bug.

[monty]

turning fog off seems to have worked! thanks.

radeon x1600

ps thaw is the plugin name

I encountered the White Screen of Doom on Salvation. De-selecting 3D Fog did the trick. Thank you!

Good news! Today we determined the cause of this bug, and it will be fixed in the 1.7.1 release.
