Guest Madmatt Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 Go into the Voodoo Display Control Panel and try the following (still unsure which one fixes this). #1 Select the Single Chip Rendering Option #2 Go into the Direct 3D FSAA panel and reduce the FSAA settings. Some people actually had to reduce it all the way and some had to increase it. One of this will fix your problem, this is a common problem with the Voodoo 5500 and is caused by a bug in their software. Its unlikely, due to recent events, that its ever going to be fixed by them now though. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madmatt Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 They were bought by Nvidia who have said they will not be providing future tech support for any of the Voodoo line. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanar Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 Hedoth, I've been happily using my Voodoo 5500 with CM for the past three months now and am quite disappointed with the recent turn of events. However, after much playing and tweaking, I've found the following: - Set the FSAA settings in the Direct 3D screen to anything other than "Fastest Perf." This solves the garbled text when just starting the game. I run at 4xFSAA and it runs and looks great. - If you ESC to your desktop and then go back into the game, the text will be garbled unless you select the single chip rendering mode. You'll lose FSAA if you do this, so unless you ESC out alot, I wouldn't recommend it. If you do a search in this or the regular Combat Mission forums there's been many threads with good ideas on settings to try for both PC and MAC Voodoo cards. Good luck.
