Capt Butt Plug 0 Posted April 28, 2002 here are a couple of screens from the problems on the Radeon 8500 system Where the usual codemasters loading screen comes up I get this Here is the options on the lap top thingy and here is the mission bit on that little notepad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Butt Plug 0 Posted April 28, 2002 Right sorted out the Options menu and screwed up codemasters intro screen and Ive now come accross texture corruption :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Butt Plug 0 Posted April 28, 2002 Right Ive found a solution for both systems I will post what I did if anyone else is having similar problems. on the Radeon system, Firsty I disabled the w bugger in control panel/display options then went to my ofp/users folder and opened up the user config file and right at the bottom theres a line like wbuffer or something change the 1 to a 0. This should clear up the funny start up and missing options and also the flashing/disappearing models in game If now all your textures are corrupted as in my last picture above then goto this site And download yourself the latest 'omega drivers' and restart your comp. And these drivers have vastly improved my system I was using the latest drivers off ATIs webpage and then changed to these and everything has improved , Games such as Jedi Knight 2 and Medal Of Honour. If anyone needs anymore help I will go into more detail on the exact settings I am using Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Butt Plug 0 Posted April 28, 2002 And for the TI4600 it was a simple change in the display properties I just changed from High performance to Blend and I got all the detail back instead of plain textures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pangaea 0 Posted April 28, 2002 This is most probably because W-Buffer is enabled. Since you can't see much in-game, do this: Open UserInfo.cfg in a text editor, you'll find it here OperationFlashpoint(game dir) -> Users -> YourUserName On line 27 (with me anyway) it says "useWBuffer=1;" Change it to "useWBuffer=0;" Save and start the game again...

Capt Butt Plug 0 Posted April 29, 2002 yep its what I did if you read above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pangaea 0 Posted April 29, 2002 OK. my bad. Just saw the picture and figured I'd throw in a comment... I had some mouse trouble with 6058 drivers, but Omega's 6071 fixed that for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
