Weird HL1 D3D :(

[smilez]

I was playing halflife 1 today and tried running at 1280x1024 and for some weird reason the console and other small text gets all funny in Direct 3D mode. In openGL at the same resolution the text is clear.

Anyone know what the problem is ?

I have a hercules ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb with the latest drivers

(Not sure if this is the right forum group but thanks if anyone can help)

Since you are using Steam this is the right forum but i do not know what the problem is since i cant run games in D3D...

This is a problem with hercules 9800 pro, catalyst and AA..
You can either turn of aa on direct3d or use opengl with aa on..

Take a look here.. http://vakuum.mine.nu/hl2/steam-AA-bug/

Great thanks.. I guess thats the bug

Damn.. how do u turn off AA and AF? the ATi control pannel only has "Application Preference" and no option to turn them off, other than setting each to 2x which is dodgy

Application Preference is "off".. cause hl is't using it-..

wierd, i have the sapprire radeon 9800 pro 256 card, ive ran everything(cs dod, HL1 etc.) on all options (to test out the FPS) and it was fine, im running the OMEGA 3.7 drivers, if your using the ATi ones, theyre really good, but omega come with other cool utilities plus hacked drivers theyre the best!
