kascinoh Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I "upgraded" to a ATi 4830 card, and noted I can no longer see any text on the CMAK scenario screens. A prev. post suggested I turn off all AA settings, which I did; I can now see text on only the 1st Scenario Selection screen - but no others after that (such as mission brief, etc). I updated today to Catalyst 9.2 drivers, and still the same issues. Anyone have any ideas to try to resolve this? Thanks... (No, I dont want to go back to my 7300GT...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yes, there is a fix which works quite well. If you do a search for Combat Mission Radeon_text_fix it will lead you to a bmp alteration. All it does is change the text colour I believe. A simple fix but it works a treat. I'll just add that the ATI cards are the only way to go at getting a fully working game with Vista/DX10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Alte Fritz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The fix is in the download section of this site. It works reasonably well but does put a box around the text that may obscure the view sometimes. Phil stanbridge - does your ATI card work with Vista and DX10 - if so what are the details. cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kascinoh Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Did the fix as suggested. Did on both CMAK and CMBB. Can get the text on the 1st scenario listing page, but nothing else. Guess I'll just have to wait for a patch...(hope hope hope). Hello ATi? Thx for the suggested fix, tho.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kascinoh Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 This worked for me on my 4830 card - anyway, I read further on the forums, one poster suggested using ALT+TAB to go out to the desktop and then back in by ALT+TAB, and the text problem was fixed. Well, I tried that, and it works fine now. I can again see all the text in the scenario and mission boxes, and in-game boxes. Hmmm. I apparently need to do this at the start-up of each game. Also worked fine in CMBB - whew! Thanks for all the help, I would have never tried this on my own... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed some slight colour saturation that I am trying to resolve with the control panel, but it's proving quite difficult. It doesn't stop the game from working, it just detracts a little from the overall effect. But at least the game is completely playable, and I have fog. I'm going to try that Alt-tab switching with the original bitmaps and see if that works too. Because there's no denying it looks better with the onboard VGA than it does through my ATI card. But I can't play anything else with my Intel onboard graphics. Also one other thing I have noticed regards ATI and Combat Mission - if you use Anti Aliasing, turn it off. That is why the text disappears completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crinius Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 My problem is that since I upgraded from a Nvidia card to a ATI card (4870) CM seems to run in a kind of software mode. This looks extremly ugly. Is there any solution to this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 This is what I was trying to explain. The colour looks a little 'saturated' for want of a better word. I haven't been able to resolve it. Maybe there is a fix, maybe not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
