I'm sure at one time or another, we've all seen the thread "HALP HAMMAR TEXT IS BROKED". This is usually in response to the 2d view's text jaggies caused by Radeon 4xxx series cards. (And more?)
This can be seen here: http://hailaeros.com/ZScreen_Uploads/SS-2009.07.27-10.41.03.png While all hope seemed lost for a while, On 09-29-2008 Toni Sergi wrote: "Looks like we need to update the dxoverride.cfg" in a Steampowered forum post ( http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8210699&postcount=5). He also said: "ati probably changed settings, which means dxoverride needs to be updated for the new cards, so antialiasing etc shuts off, and other things." Either Valve didn't update it, or their update didn't do anything. If you look at the rest of the thread, Users tried to do it on their own, disabling picmips, and antialiasing, etc. "dxsupport" { "0" { "ConVar.mat_picmip" "-2" "ConVar.mat_antialias" "0" } } All to no dice. I haven't had time to look into it myself, but I doubt I'll be able to do anything. Then, a new hope arose. Using the ATI Tray Tools, you could "Enable Alternate-Pixel Centers", and suddenly, IT WAS FIXED! (So I don't think it's a anti-aliasing thing, or such) However, this breaks the text in Model Viewer and Games so it's kinda a tossup... Have trouble mapping, or have trouble playing games and browsing for models. :/ http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10718929 More pictures available here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=3218866&postcount=792 Is Valve aware of this problem? Or is this going to become another one of those "Oh we don't give support for our tools" things? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
