Bruno Weiss Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 Help Cecil help... Posted this on the wrong forum so here it is again. Hope someone can help, I really want to play this game. The textual boxes in the game are blanked out, or I think better described as whited out. I.e., at the bottom of the scenario screen, all the unit info boxes are white, no text. When I click on a unit, and press "enter", I get the info box, and the box titles, like "info/kills", but only the unit title shows up (in purple?), and just a slight amount of data in very light grey, and the rest is missing or blanked out. Likewise, if I go to move a unit, the 3D movement line is there, but the info box at the end of it is in yellow text, barely readable, and other info is whited out? I really want to play the game but can't on account of this. Okay, yes I have a Voodoo5 5500, latest drivers 1.01, SBLive, Latest drivers also, Win98SE, DX7.0a, 256megs RAM, on a Pentium III, 733 Coppermine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed or not with the latest BETA drivers for the Voodoo 5500. If not then I would recommend experimenting with disabling FSAA or the second processor on the Voodoo (done from the Display control panel tabs).

Rquest543 Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 Ok this is a common problem with the Voodoo 5. Check the other strings here for some answers. Overall I got it working by changing the controls on the card from Fastest to 4FSAA. It works fine at 1200 res. The only thing that is still a problem is that when you min the screen it come back with fuzzy text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyShot Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 FSAA = full scene anti-aliasing or something like that. It comes in 2x and 4x speeds. Only the Voodoo5 chips (and some other non-3dfx chips) have it so no worries about THAT one if you have a Voodoo3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
