After update 3.1 problem ingame screen font

Post by Informer » Wed, 16. Oct 13, 01:42

Hi, I did always play TC and AP with 2560*1140 resolution.

Since the 3.1 update my screen font in TC & AP has changed. All words look like they are written on a tube with the top and bottom of the characters fading away. This is not legible at 1920 x 1200 or at my native resolution of 2560x1440. My TC installation was pure Vanilla and has not been run even once before.
Also all the command menus everything including the little quotes during load are also bad.


So this problem did start after update 3.1.

Any one has a solution for this?

Thanks.

The first thing to do is perform a Steam file verification, as that sounds like some sort of corruption.

Thanks for the quick reply. But it didn't help. Gonna try a fresh reinstall of the game.
I will let you know.

I did a complete reinstall the game, but it didn't help.

Hope someone have a solution for it.
Here are my specs:

windows 7 Home premium 64 bits
Msi twinFrozr 7950 OC BE (no overclocking) I use latest Msi drivers.
Dell U2711 monitor

So I run at 2560x1440, after the 3.1 patch it was a instance change
Otherwise, the game seems ok, apart from illegible menus
Tried 1920x 1200 and that was just the same

Someone have a other idea?

thks.

Silly idea given another recent thread but your system doesn't think it is running in some type of 3D mode does it?

I tried the 1920 resolution with X3AP 3.1 vanilla and the text was small but otherwise fine.

Thanks to a somewhat anonymous tip-off, I can now confirm that this problem relates to the Morphological Filtering option in the driver settings. Switching it on makes the fonts barely legible; switching it off solves the problem.
