Offthewall Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Just got a brand new system with a 1.4 Ghz Athlon, 512 megs DDR ram and an Asus 8200 Geforce 3 video card. CM runs great but the text that shows the turn numbers, number of men in a squad, etc. seems to be corrupt. I am using Detonator 3 v12.41 drivers from Nvidia. Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ckoharik Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Yes, we've seen it many times before. Do a quick search on the Tech forum for "Geforce 3 Nvidia" to see the details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 From the new soon to be released updated Tech FAQ: Problem: Video Card is a Nvidia based one (Geforce, Geforce II etc..) and in-game text is blurry or flickering. Cause/Solution: This issue appears in various Nvidia reference drivers including the newest 12.xx based Detonator 3 drivers. Older 6.50 based drivers seem to work better. Changing the level of Full Screen Anti-Aliasing (sometimes turning it off all together) will also resolve this issue. Finding these drivers (the 6.50 ones) can sometimes be an exercise in futility but start at www.reactorcritical.com Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine59 Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 What they said... Also, you can go to this site: M3DZone and download a program called "NVmax" and go to the DirectX menu then "database options" then check the "FlushAfterBiltEnable" option. This has fixed the problem for me running Win98SE and a Visiontek Geforce 3. I don't know if it helps in WinME or 2K. At the moment the site is down for "repairs" but you should go to the left side menu and click on "files", then "video cards", then "tools" to get to the current "build" version 2053. For some reason, the newer beta versions don't have the "database" option. Also, with that good a system, if you have a good, big monitor you could just turn FSAA off and crank the resolution up which I think does as well as FSAA, at least for CM. Good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ckoharik Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Actually, I've tried it at 1600x1200 no FSAA and it just doesn't look as good to me on my 19" monitor. I will try the NVMax fix again and see if it does any better the second time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offthewall Posted July 25, 2001 Author Share Posted July 25, 2001 Thanks for the help guys. I turned off FSAA and the text is normal now. I'll try the other solutions to see if I can keep FSAA on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
