Loading sreen image corruption

Post by DORN »

When I place the chattext.dat file in the hud folder, I get a corrupted/fragmented loading screen image after hitting launch.


I did a clean reinstall. No Fix.

The issue is the chattext.dat. When it is removed from the hud folder the loading corruption goes away.

How do I fix?

Thanks

You may have to edit the file to put the chat box more to the right.:)

What game version are you using?

Some systems may have trouble rendering the multiple cameras necessary to support the separate/dedicated surface used for the adjustable text option, at least at certain points in the game. Please post your system specs and follow the posting guidelines for this section of the forum here: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4651

Most systems probably won't encounter such an issue, but some with limited/shared resources (ie Intel display systems) or those that may have driver issues might encounter something like this.

Thanks all,


As far as I can tell, there are no other problems associated with this.

And, each time I load, the corruption is slightly different. And once in a while there is no corruption.


It is a little annoying, but I can live with it for now.

Are you using an integrated Intel display system?
