rwcanuck Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 Lately I am seeing graphic problems ONLY with TCP games. Once connected the bottom of the screen becomes black with white wordings but the the symbols are missing. When playing I have to guess where they are to get the game to work. If I change the screen to a PBEM game there is no black screen. Is this a bug because if it was my computer or graphic card then it should be showing black at the bottom for all type of games you would think? I have a Celeron 466 with 256M Ram and a NVidea TNT2 32M Video Card using the latest drivers and directx8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 What OS are you running ? Are you using any interface mods or are you using the default interface that came with CM ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwcanuck Posted February 5, 2001 Author Share Posted February 5, 2001 I played a TCP game today and found the problem is ICQ. I Have ICQ on and load up the game I get a black screen at the bottom, and if I disconnect ICQ before loading CM for a TCP game then the screen is normal. Perhaps user resources are low with both the TCP game and ICQ going at the same time. I have lots of RAM so maybe you need a faster computer to avoid this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
