Blurred text

Racer1

Sometimes, NS2 will display text blurry or otherwise messed up. It almost looks like the text is being rendered twice, with the second time rendering it a bit offset from the first. This causes the text to look fat and blurry, and basically unreadable.

This happens intermittently when I start a game, randomly after a while of playing, or after I leave or enter the comm chair.

Sometimes, reconnecting or alt+tabbing fixes it.

Same problem here, it was somehow related in my case to my sound card. As soon as the game played a new sound, it blurred the text, but after that it usually crashed to game to desktop.


i'm not using lowest setting, no shadows and set my sound acceleration to standard instead of full acceleration in DxDiag. This is alpha, it doesn't have to look good in my opinion (not that I get bad FPS, but the game is more stable when using lower settings...)

i think thats caused by too low RAM / graphiccards RAM

I have 512 MB graphics card memory running at 1440 x 960. I tried turning down graphics settings and it didn't help (with this issue).

I had similar problems in the past with my old system and different games.
It was caused by an error in the texture buffer of my GFX Card.
Reducing texture depth and installing new drivers fixed it for the most games, tho.
