Title: Weird Video Problem
Post by: Lord ReDhAwK on August 06, 2006, 07:52:28 PM

Salute All,

Posting this for a squadmate that has been having this issue for past 4 or 5 weeks.  All of his graphics in the game are perfect except...When the map is up, his radar circle lines, enemy and friendly dots, even squad dots are all black.  No color distinctions, just black :(  Map is otherwise perfect.

I went through his video settings and everything matches mine perfectly using 1024 setting.  I can get his specific computer details if needed.  Just popped in real quick to see if anyone has experienced this?

I did have him reinstall his drivers.  Same deal.  I thought it could be some kind of funky hot key he may have hit and it needs reset?

I do believe its video driver related. What video card and driver is being used?
For some older cards the newest drivers are not the best.

Redhawk I'm sure you already did this but did you go into the preferences or settings in AH2 and make sure that he didn't accidentally set all his icons to black ?  I wouldn't have posted this but I was helping a newb out about a month ago and he had defaulted them all to green and I was already halfway done writing an email to the skuzzmeister when I thought, hmmm I better go ahead and check his settings and make sure they didn't all get switched to green, which they were :)
