    ATI Cat 9.12 and IL-2: Blocky text boxes

    Weird problem.. when booting Il-2 1946 4.09m on a Radeon 4870 with latest Cat 9.12 installed, the menu's look fine until a game LOADS.. the loading screens are white and black blocks...

    after running in the game for a few seconds, sometimes the text for speed, throttle etc sorts itself out.. and sometimes it stays as hollow boxes.

    Anyone sorted it?

    IL2 is opengl right?
    Steam has a similar issue with some opengl games, see this thread for doom3:
    http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=798203

    In short, try disabling Catalyst AI. It fixed the problem for me with doom3.

    that phrase set me thinking, so I swapped to DirectX ingame and it's sorted though now of course I cant get PErfect Terrain and Sea as IL-2 only allows excellent in DirectX

    Problem gone.

    So I chatted to some guys on Hyperlobby and they all have similar situation, with varying ATI cards and with Cat drivers from about 9.7 onwards.

    just to let you know, I've had this problem too. Running in perfect mode for me is a must. I fixed the problem once a while ago while keeping OpenGL by IIRC changing the driver or one of the settings in the CCC. I want to say it was either a anisotropic filtering setting or a Catalyst AI setting but can't remember for sure. It may also have been a setting in the config.ini file in you main IL-2 directory. Sorry I can't be more specific but you can definitely get it working while retaining OpenGL. The last time I updated my ATI drivers the problem came back but it only does it during the mission loading screen so it's no big deal as everything else it fine. When I track down the actually issue again I'll let you know what it was.
