unreadable, transparent text

voxpoptart · 05-10-2005, 12:44 AM

I successfully moved my OOTP6 league from one computer to another, following all the unlicense/relicense info and getting the players and data moved. My problem is this: that suddenly, on my new monitor (Dell flatscreen, in case it makes a difference), the game in all of its skins features strong background images over which the game text is semi-transparent. Basically, i can barely read the text for the pictures. I hadn't had this issue before.

Any notion how i fix this?

(I suspect this isn't a new problem on this earth, but in a few quick searches I didn't find any Q/A's on this - sorry to put anyone out.)

Go into the “game”(OOTP, ITP, etc) folder and open the "game config" file, toggle the 3d setting, close those things and try the game again.

If that doesn't solve it, go to start then run and type dxdiag and hit enter. The direct X utility will open and it will let you know what version of direct X you are have installed. If it is less than v9 go to http://www.microsoft.com download and install v9, reboot your computer and then try the game again.

One of these two things should get things going. Please let me know if you are still having problems after trying both of these.
