Shashman 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Images speak better than words : I can fix it by going to video options and changing resolution, then changing back again and it goes back to normal, but it's really weird...???

Â Could anyone give an explanation of any kind? Thanks I think its cause your resolutions too high, Placebo remember that pic you hosted for me with the weird start screen? The colors where all messed up, and changing it the res. back to 800x600 worked btw whats your video card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted June 20, 2003 Placebo remember that pic you hosted for me with the weird start screen? Hmm no but then I am very old Good advice though, as Koolkid101 said knowing your gfx card and other specs may help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koolkid101 0 Posted June 21, 2003 I can fix it by going to video options and changing resolution, then changing back again and it goes back to normal, but it's really weird...??? Â Could anyone give an explanation of any kind? Thanks I had the exact same problem as you, I changed it like you did and it worked, but it always came back, so I left it 800X600. What video card do you have. I fixed it by keeping it on 800X600 because the old res was way to much for my poor Ati Radeon 128 16mb..... The best thing to do is get another vid. card!

(Heh no this isn't the system I play OFP on ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted June 22, 2003 Drivers may be pretty big but you can't expect things to work right and you can't expect people to be able to help you if you don't have the latest drivers for everything, at 20mb per hour downloading with 56k it doesn't take that long to get them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted June 22, 2003 Well if you really want to play Opf then you'll find a way, download them at college/uni and then burn them onto a cd, even the crappy college I was at last year had the odd cd-writer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
