Title: Ship names unreadable
Post by: iliaarpad on April 28, 2007, 06:52:52 am

I'm not sure what could cause this problem but the names of the individual ships are not readable in missions. I can only see some pink/blue/green patches on the ships where the name should be. I tried both OpenGL and D3D but this didn't help. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Where did you get hold of FS2_Open from?

I vaguely remember there being a problem with nameplates and use of the experimental alpha env feature but that was fixed a while ago so it could be that you have an old version.

I downloaded the installer and used it. I have 3.6.9, I hope it is the most recent. Or not?
I tried to disable alpha env but it didn't help.

Funny thing is that I have a rather old and a quite new computer and using the same settings and same version on both machine the ship names are readable on my old computer and unreadable on the new one. Is it possible that my videocard screws something up? It's a radeon x1600 and I already had some problem with it...

It could be. I've seen some strange bugs with the x1600 over on BtRL.
