Some elements dissapearing from screen

[fwilli001]

I have noticed that sometimes the game will kind of freak out for lack of a better term. When this happens I cannot see the selection highlight boxes around the units, some menus on the QB setup screen and the height numbers on the map editor. there may be others, but thats all I noticed. A restart of the game seems to be working fine.

Running: AMD Athalon 1700XP on Gigabyte MB with 256mb ram, 40gb hd and an ATI Radeon 8500le 128mb.

Resolution set for 1024 x 768 at 75mhz

Anti aliasing is turned off.

I did recieve all files during the install.

Also running with the latest Catalyst drivers for the Radeon card.

Any thoughts?

I haven't personally seen this on a Radeon 8500, but I don't play with it constantly.

You may want to try the Rage3D Tweaker. I know some people found out that turning off the 'Z-Mask' feature helped with turn calculation times when a unit was selected. However that may not account for what you're seeing here, but this tweaker will give you all sorts of options to experiment with.

Note: Despite listing all sorts of 'fog enabling' features, none of them will enable fog for CM.

I had never seen this before. Thanks for the tip. Any more tips or tricks for the Radeon? I have had a lot of problems with it. I get a real nasty CTD once in a while in WinXP. I have tried all their drivers as well as the latest via 4in1 for the AGP slot on my board. Can't figure it out. Has always orked for CMBO though. This is new problem with CMBB never seen it before.

Thanks again.
