I tried to run oc on Vista and there where some problems (you can see them on the screenshot), but on 7 (on the same computer) it works perfectly.
Any solutions?

Looks like the problem does only exist for perspective rendering. Other games with OpenGL are running without problems on your VM?

By the way, have we already excluded Direct3D support from OpenClonk?

It's disabled currently but not entirely removed from the code.

VM is virtual machine right? It´s not a virtual machine it´s the orginally installed vista.
And atm i have no other games than CR and  OC installed on this computer...but if I switch to OpenGL in CR, everything is normal

What graphics card is that? Are drivers up to date?

The graphic card is a GeForce 8400M GT (notebook), the drivers aren´t up to date cause there are no new orginal drivers for this computer, maybe I find something on laptopvideo2go...

Your video chip (GeForce 8400M GT) is in the same line of nVidia graphic chips that contain an inherent manufacturer defect. This defect causes incredibly hot running temperatures (with my defective nVidia chip I clocked in at 89 degrees Celsius), severe graphical problems, and complete system failure (my laptop will not even run bios). These problems manifest themselves on average one year after purchase.

I actually just did a quick google search and there are others suffering from this exact video chip as I had initially assumed. I would ask you to first check on a different vista machine (that does not use defective nVidia GPU) and see if the results are the same.

Well, I don´t know anyone that uses vista, but here in the forum there is maybe someone, who uses vista.
I thinked is a problem of vista, cause on 7 (on the same computer) it worked.

Mine (9600M GT) is 100°C after a graphic intense game and ~80°C on idle (because I just booted I am currently only at 61°, increasing) :(
I can lower the temperature by about 10°C using a table fan, though!

Wow. That is definitely the highest temperature I have ever heard of on a laptop. I would suggest demanding a full refund immediately (don't accept replacements... they'll break as well). When my laptop was running at 89°C it actually melted the plastic end of the power cord that was charging it. 100°C could burn your whole house down. Also, I would get evidence saved of the temperature, for instance, recording a video of melting glue-gun glue or somesuch on a flat-bottom-surface of the laptop. recording a video of putting a thermometer under the computer when playing games for an hour or so (less likely for your manufacturer to claim you broke it).

I think the warranty is already expired :/
A Furmark screenshot:
I stopped the test immediately because I feared danger to life and limb there

I updated the drivers with a modded driver from laptopvideo2go, now it seems to work.
Thank you all for your help.

I have an idea of making "mini-images" in upper-left corner being able to turn on/off through the options menu. Not only it will save some resources  at the expence of rendering routines but will probably save players from some inconveniences like the one shown above.

The images also appear on the lower left corner (inventory) and at several other places such as in the ringmenu.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot that inventory images are rendered from 3D models as well.
(This reminds me of an old suggestion about making all of the inventory images the 2D sprites... but that is really not an issue right now)
