crepitis Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 Since installing the latest beta patch for CMBO ive noticed when playing operations that the text for landmarks/place-names is corrupted.It looks much the same as the text after using "esc"to desktop.Other V5500 users will know what I mean,but have any of you noticed this new "bug"?Im running with 4xFSAA at 1024x768,and its ONLY place names that are F***ed,any clues anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesreidau Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 Creptis, I feel for you mate. I just got a Voodoo 5 5500 and had ****loads of trouble with it. I find the best solutions to avoid any crashes, freezes, corrupted text etc is to install Direct x 8, the new Direct X compatible voodoo 5 driver and ALSO flash your motherboard bios to the latest version. Are the names still corrupted in single chip mode? I know it looks basic in that mode but it may help i-d the problem.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juardis Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 Never seen the problem you're describing. Sorry. But I have had to switch to single chip rendering for some of the larger scenarios where I kept getting "white outs". Makes you appreciate 4x FSAA all the more. ------------------ Jeff Abbott 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanar Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 Crepitis, Are you using DeanCo's gunmetal mod? I had the same problem with that, but took care of it with his fix to 30002.bmp. If you're not using that mod, maybe that .bmp just got corrupted and you could recopy it off the CD. Hope this is of some help.

Tiger Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 If you are getting white outs with the voodoo5 and you previously had a voodoo3, the most likely culprit is that you didn't remove all of your old voodoo3 drivers. Do a "find files" and look for anything to do with voodoo3 and delete them. You may have to uninstall your voodoo5 and completely wipe all traces of voodoo anything before doing a fresh reinstall. The white outs are a result of low textutre memory, which shouldn't happen with a 64 meg voodoo5, since they enabled large texture support, something that was missing int he voodoo3. hope this helps, john 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
