WWB Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Is it possible to run a win2000 (Celeron 800, 192mb, SP 2) machine with a GeForce2 MX (14.71 beta drivers) without using FSAA and get no graphical corruption in CM? Right now, I have 2 issues. First, the white text in the status stuff at the bottom of the screen flashes or goes transparent. Whenever I go back to 2d, I cannot read the white text in text boxes. Second, sometimes when playing an IP game, the whole status bar's bitmaps dissapear, leaving some spots of white text. The buttons are still active, if one can find them. Any advice/hints?

phil stanbridge Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Do you get corruption with FSAA turned on too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 The white text problem under Win2K remains with the latest drivers (21.81). I believe you can clear it up by ESC'ing to the desktop and back. So far I've had to use FSAA for text to look proper in the 2D portions of the screen under Win2K. Disabling FSAA has caused the text corruption (on a GeForce 3). The other issue you list with TCP/IP games is another common problem. No exact consistency with this one either (in other words, it defies being reduced to one common variable). A number of PC users who've ran into this particular TCP/IP problem were running NVidia-based video cards, but some ATI users and others have also had this problem. I don't know if ESC'ing to the desktop and back during a TCP/IP session is possible or not in order to redraw the screen.

WWB Posted September 27, 2001 Author Share Posted September 27, 2001 Yes, it looks very, very pretty with FSAA forced. But I like very high res settings with a crapload of hires mods and the GeForce2 MX just cannot quite handle FSAAing 1280x960 without significant slowdown. Thanks for the answer, schullenraft. Unfortunately, it was the one which I expected. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
