ParaBellum Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 When I use the ESC key or "alt-tab" to minimize CMAK and then maximize it again I get gfx problems. In the lower right and left corner of the screen (where there's some black space, next to the interface) after maximizing CMAK again my desktop seems to "shine through", flickering. I'm using Win98, a GF2MX with 44.03 drivers. No problems in CMBO/BB with this configuration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm not sure what is going on. It seems to be particular to Win98 and that Detonator version (or possibly several versions). Testing on a Win2K system didn't duplicate the problem. If you exit out of the CMAK Demo and launch CMBO or CMBB (without rebooting or launching anything else) do you get the same problem ? Is the CMAK Demo using the same resolution as CMBB & CMBO ? Do you have any applications or utilities running in the background that you don't normally run when playing CM ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with CMBO or CMBB. All three are using 1024x768 res, desktop is 1024x768 16 bit. Only the CMAK demo give me problems. I always have the same programs running in the background, no changes made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Pleasure Beast Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Same problem here, but you can get rid of the flickering by going into briefing and coming back, takes only 0,2 seconds, can't be done in action phase to.

JonS Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I get the same problem with Win2k on a Compaq Ipaq with 128MB RAM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Are any of you running with fsaa turned on for curiousity's sake? Someone else had something similar, try both fsaa off and fsaa 2X instead of application picks and let me know. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfc Driscole James E Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm getting the same problem with Windows ME. The go to briefing clears it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I'm running on a Win2K system with a GeForce3 with the 30.87 drivers and no problems with the CMAK Demo using Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Esc. None of the FSAA options (2X, Quincux, 4X) seem to cause a problem with this driver either. It appears that CMAK is exacerbating the problems of the 4x.xx and possibly the 5x.xx series drivers, even though CMBB may work fine with the same setup. I'm not sure what is different with the code that may be causing these problems. If any users have the option (assuming that it is supported by their video card - this is not true for the GeForce 4 series that supports AGP 8X or the FX series cards), they may want to try out the 30.82/30.87 drivers. Of course for some people downgrading to these drivers may affect other games that perform or work better with the newer drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I am running the 52.16 but have a newer GeForce 4800 card. I also do not have the problem, so Schully may be on to something. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted November 21, 2003 Author Share Posted November 21, 2003 Tried it with no FSAA and FSAA set to 2x/4x, makes no difference. I'm pretty happy with the current drivers and don't want to install new ones since my other games like them, too. As long as there's the workaround with the briefing it doesn't bother me at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
