I'm working on a large project (It fills my 32 MB of RAM and uses about 30 MB of swap file) and I've noticed two things. On the outside of my building I've got two dark stripes that seem to follow the edge of a face that goes from the top of a window to the top corner of the wall. I can't see a gap between the faces but that is sure what it looks like (Incidentally, I've had a lot more wierd problems with boolean subtracts than I used to with earlier versions – sometimes missing faces and sometimes extra faces) I can't see the dark stripe unless mapping is on (I'm using a brick map). Flat shading and mapping off and the stripe disappears. Raytraced shadows/mapped shadows seems to have no effect. I've got a similar bright stripe on the other end of the wall… I've also got a ***lot*** of flicker in some of my semi-shadowed areas as I move the camera. Any ideas?
