Von Viniga Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi All, While back I posted I was having some problems with my (then) new GeForce MX and W2K with CM. Turning off FSAA helped - thanx guys - but did not completely cure the problem as the graphics where playable but poor. I recently tried out Release Candidate 1 for Windows XP and CM not only works but also looks great again! Obviously, this is not going to be a suitable solution for all but thought you might like to know. Anyone else have any XP/CM experience? Von Viniga (I already did the search thing - so far no XP posts I could find). In tech support that is......oh well.

Schrullenhaft Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Interesting. From what I've gathered the problems in Win2K remain in WinXP. What version of the NVidia drivers are you using ? Do you have FSAA enabled (you'll probably have to "force" it in all applications in order for CM's graphics to actually be FSAA'd) ? Does the white text in the scenario/operations listing screen still come through as transparent (anywhere there's white) ? The Main Forum's XP thread (which you've probably already read): http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=020646 [ 08-01-2001: Message edited by: Schrullenhaft ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Viniga Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 Did a little more experimentation: Hercules GeForce II MX Dual Display Card Hercules(Nvidia) Driver Version 12.40 I upgraded to this driver just before installing XP. It changed the interface for FSAA. FSAA now had these settings: Let Application Handle it Turn it Off Force 2X Force 4X Turning it off gave the best result in W2K In WinXP I find letting the application handle FSAA gives the best results - this was what it was set to after the upgrade - the others cause text problems of varying degrees of awfulness. Currently I only get text doubling on terrain labels (I hadn't switched them back on yesterday.) Not sure about text on white - will check this out tonight. So all is not perfect in XP world.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 If you don't "force" FSAA, I don't believe it is being utilized by CM. So it is "off" unless you use one of the "forced" settings (for CM at least). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
