Michael Emrys Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 ...How the black box cursor doesn't appear in the full version of CMAK? Just thought I'd mention it since no one else has. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Actually, I didn't see the black box in the demo either. I played the demo on a G3 Bronze Powerbook. It did have the black edges around the oasis and massive downsampling of the textures (what can you expect from 6mb of Vram). The full version looks really very nice on my Gforce2MX, probably not nearly as nice as it does for others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 It looks better on my set up too, but I don't know how much of that is due to better drawing of the vehicles or they've done something that reduces downsampling.

BARMAN1950 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I have read the various comments regarding the fact that the CM's were developed using a MAC. Could I ask what kind?? What version Mac, What version S/W, Which video card, etc.?? I have a 2 year old G3 IMac, running 9.2.2 other than some jerkyness both CMBB & CMAK seem OK. CMBO ran very smoothly. I have an "ATI Rage" card that came with the machine. What if anything should I upgrade to?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 As I recall much of the development was done on a Sawtooth G4 with a 16mb video card. My recollection may be flawed however. The graphics are another matter as several different individuals are responsible and I am pretty sure they are not all Mac users. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Frank Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 To Barman - Be careful when it comes to upgrading video. There is a weird driver problem that makes ATI Radeon 9000's (Apple's standard card for a while as well as a good midrange card) break the video in Combat Mission games. I don't know if this problem continues up into the 9200's and 9600's but it broke my heart when I realized that I couldn't play CM on my brand new tower. One work around I'm going to try is installing a second graphics card (probably an ATI Rage) in a pci slot and switching my monitor over to that when I want to play. But it's annoying. To be totally safe, get a Nvidia card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Peter and the Barman, Take heart. If you look at this: Related Topic Goto Page 4 (unless you want to read all the background) and you'll see that there is a pretty good fix (albeit still beta) for these newer ATI cards in the works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
