graphics problem - target box doesn't stay around target
When I target a ship near the center of my screen, it fits correctly within the target box.

But when I turn side to side, the box moves away from the target, and simply fails to enclose my targeted ship at all - is there any way to fix this?

For instance:

Center of HUD -     [ ship ]

At the side of HUD -          ship        [       ]

thank you!

Re: graphics problem - target box doesn't stay around target
What build and screen resolution are you running?  If you are using the 3.6.9 final or an earlier 3.6.10 build an a widescreen monitor this could be the problem.  Try either changing to a 4:3 resolution (1024x768 for example) or downloading a recent 3.6.10 build.

Re: graphics problem - target box doesn't stay around target
Oh, sometimes I get sort of annoyed when people merely post their problem. System specs and the used FSO build are often crucial for solving the problem.

But yes. Most likely you're playing with the 3.6.9 and on a widescreen resolution/monitor. Download the Recommended build for Windows users from my signature and use it.

Re: graphics problem - target box doesn't stay around target
sorry, but that happens to me with the C08302009 build on a 1280x1024 monitor, specs... phenom 9500, 4 gigs ram, geforce 9600GT, vista ultimate x64. happened before on XP SP3. with pretty much every build. (but it appears to start happening on the edges of the screen)

:welcome:

Try different builds, as suggested prior, if that doesn't work, try upgrading/downgradig your video card driver.
