actually i just discovered something iconoclast :O
after awhile you no longer need the forcescreen clear option :O
the problem just disappears
and no, i didn't forget the colourcombined=1
i found that having it enabled, caused some objects to be transparent.
with the original setting (2 i think) his torso was see through
with 1, his hat was see through
i have no issues with it disabled
you don't need to set it to off... all you gotta do is tick it twice so the tick is greyed, it means use default setting
