Black Boxes

[DES]

I get the black box when I check disable palletized textures but it looks normal when I take the check out.

Not such a simple fix for us poor ATI bastards

So how do you unduplicate it?

uncheck "disable palletized textures" on video settings. Do it from the splash screen clipboard.

I'm getting the same black box around icons and some other text (field markers on the clipboard map for example).  What's odd is that when I started AH2 beta for the first time it wasn't happening, but my framerate was 1 fps.  I disabled palletized textures and the framerate came up to good levels, but after about 20 seconds this started to happen.  Toggling the palletized textures option will not solve this issue.

I'm also noticing a small amount of terrain stutter when low to the ground.  The stutter occurs at the same time as a significant amount of hard drive activity.  (This same stutter has always been present ever since the AH DX8 beta series with the bump mapped terrain turned on.)

I've also noticed that on my system pulling down the lower slider under video settings to below 80% (object draw distance or something like that) or so will make all the textures in the cockpit (gauges, cockpit frame rails, etc) go away.  (I'd be more specific, but as always I have way to much work to do and not nearly enough time...)

AH 2 certainly shows a LOT of promise though.

System specs:
Athlon 2400+ OC to 2200 MHz
512 MB Ram
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB card
nVidia driver version 41.09 (newer drivers than these have issues for me in engineering programs I need to run)

i did this, still have black box behind plane icon, fps info, etc. etc.

you cant change it from ingame, you must do it from the clipboard on the splash screen. If you did change it from the clipboard on the splash screen and it didnt fix it then I dunno. All I can say is it worked for me.

have the same what bloom describes, also having red Flashes on the bacgground of some instruments, I.e. ammo counter.

When in Hangar I do have lots of green spots.

will post screenies and try driverupdate on the weekend.

SYS SPECs

PIV 2,6, MSI 865PE MOBO, 1 GB CORSAIR, 2x SATA WD, FIC Radeon 9500pro (Cat 3.4), SB AUdigy 2(latest Drivers), W-XP PRO SP1

Terrain looks great though . FR is OK so far.
