Request : Sticky ATI GFX Card Bug Fix

Post by Otherside »

Imo we need a sticky letting people know how to fix the ati graphics card glitch with the new drivers. Its not really documented and ive helped at least 10 people trying to fix this (i suffered from it to)

The fix is reverting to 7.11 or older drivers (newer drivers cause that bug were stuff disappears offscreen and screen goes to metal map)

also krogoth posted a fix with editing some stuff from the registry ill wait for him to confirm that on this thread..

Well I didn't write what settings to choose in order to get Spring to work with newer drivers in the first place but it's true that this topic needs to be stickified in any way because you're faced with people asking about this every day. So at least list it in that sticky from Peet here in Helps & Bugs...

A link to a topic where that alternative fix is mentioned:

I had this issue too with latest ATI and omega drivers. Hud disappeared and reappeared randomly when I put the cursor over units, seemingly factories or other builders in CA, or maybe it was units being built. I found the ultimate fix: bought a Nvidia card. :P
