Why does this make my game downloading and game it self like this






texts come back normal after short time but in winter texts stay like that.

[Mick]

... those blocky texts make me think of a very well known ATI card driver issue with OpenGL ...

... take a look here may be, sorry not to help you further but I have a NVidia ...

Yes I have the damn ATI

[SAS~Storebror]

Go get some of the latest 2010 ATI drivers, e.g. the 10.12. That one solves the block text issue and should run well with most 2010 cards.
If you happen to have some very latest state of the art ATI card, you might want to give the current driver a try, otherwise just stay away from current updates.

Additionally please keep in mind that for ATI cards water=4 doesn't work, you have to set water=2 (which has the same effect like the Nvidia water=4 setting).
Also pay attention to the OpenGL texture flags, for ATI it has to look like this:

Code: [Select]

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=0
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=0
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=0

These lines really confuse me so could you tell me what is those lines task in the game

[SAS~Storebror]

Those lines are in the [Render_OpenGL] section of your conf.ini file inside the IL-2 folder, they do set some parameters for texture handling in your graphics driver and must be set accordingly whether you have an Nvidia or ATI card.

For your ATI card they have to look like this:

Code: [Select]

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=0
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=0
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=0
For an Nvidia card they would have to look like this:

Code: [Select]

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1
See the difference? The Nvidia card settings have all parameters ending on "NV" set to "1" while for ATI cards those parameters are set to "0". The "NV" end of the parameter name already points to those parameters being Nvidia specific.

I'm using Catalyst 11.5.
I tested 11.1, 11.3 and 11.4 and all of them work well.
I think 11.3 is the best for IL-2, if I remember well, it's the first version with full compatibility with OpenGL.

I have XP 32 Bit and had issues with the newer drivers. Neither color temperature nor performance was any better, more worse.
The best driver for me is the 10-9 one, also the 10-7/5 were nice.
Only issue I have: With 10-9 as well as 10-7/5 IIRC, using dynamical lights=2/1 causes artificial shimmering when firing guns. I always keep that off.

I wouldn't wanna go back to NVidia BTW. (Overall.)

11.3 was the first driver which gave me an endless boot->BSOD->boot loop on XP with an HD4670, so 11.2 was the latest to work for me.
From 10.10 onwards I didn't have any issues with either IL-2 settings.
My old HD4670 provided a much smoother AA than my new GTX550Ti does and generally ATI cards are slightly above Nvidia pendants from a price vs. performance point of view, but to be honest all that driver hassles were a pain in the ass to me (ATI Tray Tools never worked for me for instance, so I always had to select profiles manually, which applied system-wide instead per-window as on Nvidia boards, just to mention two glitches), so I'm back a happy Nvidia user since a few weeks now and it's pretty unlikely that I'll ever return to ATI as long as I play IL-2.

But that's just a sidenote and slightly off-topic

This water effects thing at least works for both, you just have to remember to set water=2 on ATI machines instead of water=4 on Nvidias.

Best regards - Mike

I had glitches and slow FPS a long long time ago when my OS was WinXP.
I think ATI forgot WinXP, IL-2 and a lot of other softwares, unfortunately.

This is new version.
