Raze Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 It seems that the video image is taller then the screen as well as to narrow. I'm running Diamond Viper II and a Monster 3DII as well.Yes, the drivers are current. The game defaults to the Monster II. Is it possible (in the game or the demo) to select the video card you want to use? The Viper II is AGP. Perhaps it would work as well as the Monster II without the distortion? Help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted August 17, 2000 Share Posted August 17, 2000 Yes. Delete the "Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs" file. Run CM again. If it asks you to use a video card you DON'T want, click on "skip" until it shows you one that you DO want. Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze Posted August 20, 2000 Author Share Posted August 20, 2000 Thanks.That fixed one problem and revealed another. Got the resolution fixed. I take it that the Voodoo(3DFX) cards are not prefered. The smoke looks "blocky." Another computer I use has a TNT in it and the smoke is "softer." It also seems that the 3DFX card is actually cleaner and better looking then the TNT (except for the smoke). Any suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 The Voodoo 1 & 2's will not support transparencies properly so they will run the chunky "compatible" smoke. Voodoo 3's and newer will support transparencies properly with the latest drivers. I'm not sure what you'll have to adjust on your TNT to make it appear better. You may want to experiment with your "mip-mapping" settings (levels and detail; bilinear or trilinear method depending on your driver) and possibly adjust your texel alignment (I can't remember where it's best). These controls usually should be available from Control Panel > Display control panel > Advance Properties button and one of the nVidia (or the manufacturer brand of your TNT card) Direct 3D tabs, etc. [This message has been edited by Schrullenhaft (edited 08-20-2000).] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze Posted August 20, 2000 Author Share Posted August 20, 2000 Thanks. I'll try adjusting the TNT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmoredAmoeba Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Thanks for the reply to the problem above. I had the exact same problem (TNT 2 video card and an old Voodoo II card that I seldom use. Just clicking select next worked just fine after I finally connected the video cable to the Voodoo II card <g>. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 With regards to the texel alignment, setting 3 (which should be default) is what most programs (including CM) look best with. The only exception to this I've encounter is Falcon 4.0, which is another story.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
