Slight graphic problem with SE V

reverend · #1 August 14th, 2007, 01:54 PM

After a looong time I thought I'd see if there are any more patches out for SEV, and lo, there are!

So, with the most excellent Balance Mod and FQM available, I decided to buy SEV. Mostly because I wanted to try making my own mod.

However, there is a slight problem with SEV on my system. When selecting either D3D HAL or D3D T&L HAL in the setup, I don't see any of the text in the tooltips and message boxes, I do get, however, occasional full-screen flashes of white. Only setting display to RGB Emulation clears this problem.

This is with SE:V patched to 1.44 (non Steam).

Here's the machine info from dxdiag, I hope it helps:

UPDATE:

Since RGB runs with approximately 2 FPS, I tried D3D HAL again. Seems like whenever a tooltip or right-click popup menu opens, the other controls (menu, map, buttons...) disappear. So I get either the interface OR the popup menu.
