I am attempting to get Buldozer set up properly as the visualizer for O2. I have Buldozer working perfectly with Visitor, but when I launch it from O2, I get a brief shot of the model (which remains if I don't give Buldozer focus) which quickly fades to black. The Buldozer text still shows at the top, and if I click RMB it switches to "Anim", so the program is working.
The "External Viewer" option in O2 is as follows:
"p:\buldozer.exe" -buldozer -noland -cfg=Buldozer.cfg
I thought it might be the HDR part of the engine somehow bugging out and applying PP effects when I didn't need them, so I tried setting postFX=0 in Buldozer.cfg, to no avail. I also thought it might be due to viewing BI's sample models for ArmA 1, so I tried creating a simple box and tried previewing that. No difference.
I have the bin.pbo from the current version of ArmA2 extracted into P:\bin, with the config debinarized. Dta and product.bin are also in the right places on the P:\ drive. Using the default \bin folder from the BI Tools installation produces the same result.
Any idea as to what's wrong? I'm wondering if I missed a step in configuring the BI Tools somewhere along the line, but I can't spot it. Thanks in advance for any help.
Edit: Solved. Had to do with my graphics card, which is a one-slot, two-cards SLI solution. Go to the Nvidia Control Panel, "Manage 3D settings", Program Settings tab, and hit "Add". Navigate to P:\ and select Buldozer. In the list below, change "Multi-GPU performance mode" to Single-GPU. Buldozer should now work properly.
