Unreadable menus

[sevenRA1]

Hi,

im using Windows 7 32bit and i downloaded the game from redaler1.com. Graphiccard is 570 from nvidia.

Im also using the ddraw files. But everytime when i start the game it looks like this if i scroll up or down.

Picture 1 - Just opend the menu, everything looks fine

Picture 2 - Scrolled down and ... unreadable

 

If i scroll i cant read the map names anymore and i also cant read what ppl write in the chat lobby.

 

Im not using any compatibility mode.

Killing explorer.exe didnt help.

Deleting ddraw helped, but then i could not scroll anymore, so i need draw files.

 

Is there any solution?

...wooah. Messy. Did you try updating your graphics drivers?

i tried 2 Graphiccards (both nvidia) with 2 different driver. Same prob. I guess only the maker of ddraw.dll knows the answer how to fix this for nvidia cards.

Wreid. It's fine to me in my both computers (Pentium IV Prescott + GeForce 6200LE + Lubuntu 11.04 And Pentium IV + ATI Radeon Mobile 9200 + Windows XP).

 

take a look in your NVidia Control Panel, and start to mess arround there... And look into your RASetup.exe, everything needs to be disabled. I think it is a configuration issue.

You enabled hardware fills, disable them. The package by default doesn't have it enabled. It happens because cnc-ddraw doesn't support hardware fills (yet) and it's also fairly useless.
