Color Corruption and Scrambled Video
« on: May 19, 2002, 10:45:47 PM »
Hi,
Does anyone else get this?

When I went to the hangar, the clipboard view went all weird and I couldn't navigate around the plane list or do anything.

This was in the Training Area.

P3 1.0 Ghz
Soyo MB w Creative onboard 3D sound

Thanks for trying to help.

If I was completely new to online 3D games, that would be the first thing I would check.

However, since I am playing VR-1's Fighter Ace 3.0, daily, I always have the very latest drivers installed.

I would appreciate any other ideas.

Is there any chance that you alt-tabbed out to your desktop at any point during the game?  Whenever I do this, my AH graphics are messed up when I get back.  Symptoms:

Color palettes are all messed up and out of wack
Things that should be opaque are occasionally transparent
Clipboard is semitransparent
Planes look wrong
