vyrago Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have recently upgraded my video card and now the entire X-wing series has clipped or cut off graphics in 3d mode. I previously had a Geforce 6600 and all games worked fine in 3d...from X-wing all the way through to XWA. now I had a Radeon 2600 XT, using catalyst 7-9 and all objects appear clipped or cut off. I could post a screenshot. Im pretty sure it has to be a driver issue, since its the same problem in all X-wing type games. any ideas which catalyst I should use?

Wildstar Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm guessing there's a conflict between the Catalyst driver and the old Geforce driver. There's a utility called Driver Cleaner that will remove all traces of old drivers, so I'd like you to try that first and get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyrago Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 One step ahead of you there. when I got the new radeon card, I already used driver cleaner to remove the nvidia drivers. so, its clean. I tried the Catalyst 7.10 drivers last night, and the problem becomes completely different. The graphics become stretched and warped across the screen.....much worse. I go back to 7.9 and the objects are back to being clipped/cut off. definatley a driver issue, just gotta find the right one, but im loathe to backtrack through every version of catalyst drivers.

vyrago Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I have alot of 3d games on my machine, from things like Battlefield 2142 to older ones like Mechwarrior 4. no other problems at all. I even have other lucasarts games, such as Jedi Knight II and Empire at War.....no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildstar Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 You might want to see if a reinstall works, then. Be sure to back up your *.plt files before you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member! Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hello. I have the same problem with HD3870 card and with cat 7.11 the game will load but will have major graphical problem. In fact many DX5-7 games are having similar problem. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=35500&view=findpost&p=313805 It is defiantly ATI drivers for HD cards, I also have 9800Pro X1950XT 6800 AGP and 7800GTX these cards play X-wing games just fine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
