Radar

[oddbal]

Hi need some help. My dot radar is always black friendly or enemy even when I change it in the GUI. All of my enemy and Friendly Icons and Bar dar is fine and will change with GUI selection. I removed the game and reinstalled but still cant get radar dots to change color. Any suggestions? Thanks Oddbal.

That sounds like a Vid card driver issue. Are your drivers current? Can you give us some specs on your computer?

Max, nailed it. What video card are you using and what drivers?

Thanks for the replys. I have an HP 1.5 processor, 768 sdram memory , 128 mb ATI radeon 8500 le. I updated my drivers but still no good. The version is 8.25.0.0. ...Odball

Thanks for the help i got the driver i needed. I updated my ATI catalst drivers and it solved the problem. Thanks for the help.. After updating though my framrate was cut in half  from 55 to 25 fps. Any Ideas? Thanks Oddbal

First, open up AH and click on Video settings. Your computer is a bit on the slow side so I'd recommend a 256 texture size. You want to have the HARDWARE VERTEX, OPTIMIZE OBJECTS & OPTIMIZE TERRAIN boxes all checked.

Second, bring up the clipboard and click on CONTROLS>GRAPHIC DETAILS and then click on DEFAULT. See what difference that makes. If that puts you back to high #'s, you can experiment with the sliders, adding more close detail. You also want all those boxes checked except for animated water.

If none of that helps, give Skuzzy a call. Be ready to give him your computer + vid card specs, along with the driver update info. He may suggest an alternate driver update for you. The newest drivers aren't necessarily the best - depending on your card and computer.

Good luck!
