Hi all,

I've been playing through the campaign and noticed a missing backdrop in B5M3. It's the first of three areas, and the only one with a problem. It's the one where you rescue Emon with Dunari, and you start next to the Liberty and Dunari's Rest.

With the new backdrops looking so beautiful, it's really obvious when they're not there.

Do you have Super Backdrops Version 3.0 installed or not?
And did this happen before or after v3.
What did the backdrop look like before I'm not familiar with it.

I have SB3 installed, this is the first time it happened for me. But this is on a fresh install of XWAUP 1.6, I didn't have previous SB versions installed.

B5M4 has the same problem, it's where you help Dunari evacuate in the second area. It looks like a new backdrop is partially applied, but most of the starfield is original XWA.

All the other mission backdrops have been working fine.

The original mission has a star in front and a planet in the background.
I'll put it on a list to be checked out as our tester goes through things.
Thanks for pointing it out.

You are correct. I did check the INI files on mine but overlooked it.
I have yet to install SPB v3 but mine are set at.
;1b5m3fg.ini
Resdata\PLANET2.DAT

I edited the INI and then you get the different looking starfield back in it.

Download this fix Darth Binks and see if that sorts it out.
Thanks for your quick help Jeremy :)
