Odd video problem

[Xavier]

i've been meaning to ask, my copy of DAoC bailing out if i select resolutions above 1024x768, seeing as i never generally play games below 1600x1200 has anyone else had this problem? if so how have you fixed it???

the doac webbie recommends getting newer drivers but I'm using 2742's with my ti4600 so I doubt there's much newer!

anyone?


(I've noticed a few other graphical bugs... like bands of coloured lines appearing across the screen after 6+ hours gameplay but this is generally solved with a quick /quit and reconnect... the same happens on my girlfriends (bym's) machine which is Ti500 and she's using 23.11 so I know it aint the drivers!)

Yer, I get that unfortunately :/

I get odd tearing of the textures most of the time I play.
I've crashed out a number of times too. I think it might be cos I moved my PC upstairs recently and it's not as well ventilated and as such might be overheating.

I tried changing drivers but it didn't help and lowering res did nothing either.
It's odd, no more than "slightly annoying" but I'd be a happy man if it was fixed sometime soon.

Nope, 1280x1024 working fine for me, GF3, not sure which drivers but 23.11 rings a bell...

I'll be playing it at high res (1280*1024 on a GF3/23.11's), so I'll let you know how it goes.

It seems it was a problem with cooling.
I've moved my PC downstairs again where it's got better ventialtion and didn't get any glitches.

teehee. i often find that my enormous cpu fan is of little use when the case has no holes and the room is toasty warm anyway. i think i'll put the pc outside

I tried 1280*1024, but it bugged out with a "Failed to create renderer" message box.

Have to play at 1024*768...
