Gray Icons?

[QWEASY]

The plane and vehicle icons are sometimes gray, and also my damage list. It flickers between color and gray, and when its gray its very hard to see the text especially against the sky. The radio text is fine. I've tried redownloading and reinstalling the game, but it didn't work. Im running windows7

A DXDIAG output would help here.

Thats the one thats killing you. Your graphics card is an "on-board" video and uses some of your ram to run the graphics so it is hurting your performance. The card just can't display everything. You should make sure you have the "textures turned down to 512, or maybe even 256 to get it to run the game.

But i'm getting great frame rates. 59-60fps

Frame rates are irrelevant.  The Intel video chip simply does not have the hardware processing to do many things 3D graphic related.  It lacks features and is easily overwhelmed.  It has a small internal cache buffer.

You need to set the "Maximum Texture Size" to 256.  You should not be running with "Detailed Terrain" enabled in the "Options->Graphic Details->Advanced" panel either.

Just try it and it should stabilize things.

Jed on the Main title screen look under video settings and that will tell you the max texture settings.

So I have this same problem, and I have tried everything you have said above, but its still not fixed.  I lowered the max texture to 128, turned off detailed terrain.

ok, that's a first. when did intel start building amd radeon mobile graphics chips?

I am confused by that as well.
