dominick Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I cannot get readable text info in game, after trying all the fixes suggested on this site, including the workaround file replacement. I have WindowsXP and a Radeon HD2400 card (from Dell)that cannot have all anti-aliasing turned off - it only goes to 2x at it's lowest, and I've also turned off adaptive anti-aliasing. Does anyone have other suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 So you already used the "Radeon Text Fix" replacement bitmaps and they did not work for your HD2400 ? That sounds a bit strange, but it is a possibility if ATI/AMD have tinkered around with the AA methods. If the 'Text Fix' doesn't work for you and you're unable to disable the AA, then the only hope would be new drivers that allow for more AA adjustments or have AA that is compatible with the 'Text Fix' bitmaps. Are you sure that there is no "Application Controlled" setting for AA ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 yes, there is a setting for AA, but when you turn if off you are still given a 2x to 16x setting, so 2x is as low as it goes; however, I am taking your advice and will look up new drivers to see if this is helpful. Thanks for the reply. I will update any results! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Got new drivers for the card. Installed them, tried turning off AA - this time there was a 0 to 2x setting, also tried letting application decide, and then tried the workaround. Still no success! At least the game still plays OK on my old computer. Am thinking about getting a better Nvidia card in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 If a setting/check-mark for "Application Controlled" exists, then this would work for the CMx1 games (CMBO, CMBB & CMAK). Since none of these games can directly control the AA settings of any cards, AA is effectively off when this setting is used in the videocard control panels. However turning off AA often isn't enough for the Radeon drivers and that's where the Radeon Text Fix comes in. Using the bitmaps from this file (not the ones in the "Originals" folders though since they're exactly the same) typically has worked for previous Radeon users. There is the possibility that the 2x00 and 3x00 Radeons may not work with this 'text fix' workaround (since they may be doing something different), but I suspect that they should work with this fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominick Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I tried your fix again and may have pasted incorrectly before. The text is now clear, although it appears in different colors. Thanks again for your help. Still decided to get the Nvidia card for better fps in other games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
