santabear Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 The last few times I played SC (updated beta patch) I have run into a strange problem late in the game (roughly early-mid 1944). When I click "purchase units" or "research" the yellow overlay appears on top of the map grid--in other words, the background grey doesn't appear. If I position the mouse over one of the buttons (like "purchase unit") it will appear, and it functions properly. I just have to find the spot from memory. I've probably played 40+ games with no problem, now the last 3 in a row have had this come up. Any ideas? Thanks. Still love the game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.J. von Arnim Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi, I experience similar troubles but narrowed them down: Since installing the new nVidia-Drivers (v44.03) the game does not end properly. When ending the game it just freezes and does not go back to the start-menu. So I am thinking of installing the older nVidia-drivers again to see if it fixes this.

Hubert Cater Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I'm also wondering if you've applied any mods, the game was originally designed to run 8-bit graphics and should run Ok under this condition but some of the mods are higher level 16-bit+ and might give you a problem on your machine as I've seen this on an older win98 machine I have at home. If so you can always convert the mods to 8-bit graphics using a graphics editor or sticking with the original graphic files.
