Text Scrambled and Textures missing.

KK-Napped
in Support
So I installed Tribes 2 today and was excited to play it, only to run into this problem. The game works fine in the menu screens, but once in a game maps lose their textures and when I turn at certain angles the HUD and text becomes scrambled. Can't seem to figure out the issue.

I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit and a Nvidia 8800GT video card.

If another post resolved this, I can't seem to find it.

    Could you take a screen shot?

    Here's a shot of the issue.

    What color depth are you running the game in, try opengl if you havent, and if you have any anisotropic filtering enabled, disable it.
  • KK-Napped
    Running it at 32 bit, OpenGL is the only option I have to run it at and all the antisotropic filtering looks to be off.

    Also, tried to turn off my anti-aliasing to see if that helped, but it didn't.

    Why do you see the task bar at the bottom when it appears you are running in full screen mode? Try windowed mode.

    also, another vid driver version may help

    copy/paste your clientprefs.cs here so it can be evaluated please

    The task bar at the bottom strongly indicates that the game is having a problem going into a proper full screen mode. I have noticed texture corruption in some cases when repeatedly switching to/from full screen mode (or alt-tabbing) that resembles this.

    Try running in a window. If that's not successful try updating your video card drivers. Also, make sure you're not overclocking the video card memory (which can lead to texture corruption).

    making the taskbar autohide may help too

    I did notice that the Taskbar sometime came over the game when Alt Tabbing (which is what I was doing to grab and post the screenshot. I've played the game in a window. So far, it doesn't solve the texture issue, but it did solve the text scrambling issue (which was the most annoying). At this point the game is at least playable, which is a good set forward.

    I'm going to update my video card drivers to see if that helps. I'm not over-clocking, so I know that isn't the issue.
