Matrix Games Forums

I have XP and use an nVidia card, 8800GT.

I have the latest patch and the latest beta installed.

I'm getting some graphic problems, there up at the top, circled.





Is there a fix for this or can I do something to get this to display correctly? I did install one of the scenarios posted here, the 1792 one. But it didn't over-write anything. I run a widescreen monitor (96dpi) at 1680x1050.

This happens with all scenarios.

Thanks,


Alan

I had the exact same thing happen to me when I tried the 1.08.02 Beta for the first time. I reported it as Mantis 702, but after the first time I ran 1.08.02, the problem never re-appeared again. I'm not sure what happened to fix it.

It must be an issue with the beta.

What I tried was to start a new game, save it, and then reload. When I do that the anomaly is gone for that session at least, no matter if I start a new game or not. But exiting and then restarting a new game brings back the problem. The only way to get rid of it, is, as I said, to load a saved game, exit out, and restart a new game.

Very odd.

Thanks for your help,


Alan

Yes, this is VERY odd??? I've tried everything in the book to make this happen and cannot???
If you guys come up with a reliable click-by-click on how to dupe then I will check it out...

Marshall,

All I know is that I can replicate this thing over and over. The first thing I do when I start a game is load this saved file (which had the graphic issue when saved). After that, no matter what I do, the anomally is gone. If I try starting a new game without first loading this saved game file, the issue is there and will continue to appear until I load the saved game file.

But once I exit out of EiA completely, I must load the saved game before things look as they should.

Not really that big of a deal (I'd say that Oil Spill in the Gulf is a more pressing matter for the world.), but bothersome nonetheless.

What saved file are you talking about?

Marshall,

It's just a saved file I generated. I started a game, then immediately saved it, to see if it would make a difference with the graphic problem I was having. As it turned out, it did make a difference, changing things to the way they should be. Once I load that file, the graphic problem disappears, no matter what I do for that session. But once I exit the game, to keep things as they ought to be, I have to load that saved file.

Odd. But maybe it's just something with my system, and this only happens to me.


Alan

Nope, there is another that was having the problem. There must be a similarity between systems???

So, you're saying that you start the program then start a new game and it shows the problem?
What kind of game (PBEM, solo, etc)?

It's a solo, single-player game. And yes, starting a game, single-player, no matter the scenario, and the problem appears. Load the saved game and the problem is gone, until next time.

That's the exact explanation I got from the other description????
ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Well, if only a few are having the problem (or a low percentage)then there's no reason to spend a lot of time fixing it. It may disappear of itself with later builds.

What I would like to see is true widescreen support.

I know! I did not do a very good job planning for screen sizes early on!
