mvinarcik Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 I'm using the Detonator 3 drivers for a Vanta (Windows 2000), and have played with the settings trying to get things working. Everything is just fine, except the white text at the bottom of the screen, and some textures on the vehicles/troops blink!!!! Any suggestions? System Shock 2, Mechwarrior, and a few other 3D games work just fine w/current settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvinarcik Posted September 12, 2000 Author Share Posted September 12, 2000 More info: It seems that the problem is related to white...the letters on the initial screen (PBEM, etc.) are sometimes see-through (clear), and all the misdrawn graphics are white. I'm no expert, but it looks like something isn't being initialized properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 This seems to be a general problem with Windows 2000 and a majority (if not almost all 3D cards) of current video drivers and CM. I believe Charles is already aware of this and is adjusting the "white" level of the text. It is actually already "off-white" and I guess it needs to be adjusted further. It may come out in a future patch, but nothing more has been said lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvinarcik Posted September 12, 2000 Author Share Posted September 12, 2000 Thanks for the prompt info! Now I can stop driving myself crazy tweaking the driver! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robo Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 There's a thread or two on this in the Tech Support section (search for Windows 2000 or Win2K). I have solved the problem for myself however my fix might screw up your other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melloj Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 Yeah i started the thread on Tech board, Any Resolution as to Win2k Graphic Wierdness. BTS has indicated they are looking into it. It does seem to be limited to Nvidia stuff in win2k. Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
