Status: offline 		When I click on the Quick game setup menu I see the check boxes and selection toggles, but no words come up describing what the feature is. I can use the manual and match up what each selection is, but that is actually tedious. Any help to fix this would be great. Also My video drivers are up to date.

Do you have your machine setup for large font display or something like that?

That looks like you're running out of video memory. Although, I would have to think that even the most basic graphics card could display a few textures.

Can you please post a DX diagnostic file. The instructions for doing that are here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1077033

When will that Expansion Pack be ready?

When I started a league, I had no problems. I have not tried to play a game yet in league. Will try tonight.

Status: offline 		thanks.. the card should be okay. Google shows a few problem reports but I'm not sure those reports are related.

If you can try the league screens as well as the other quick play screens that would be helpful. The rest of the artwork looks to be showing up so I'm not sure why that one texture would be a problem.

thanks
David

Status: offline 		Thanks Lucas.

Seems you're right. Those drivers are up to date, but they're also over 2 years old.

Driver Date/Size: 5/3/2006 11:51:00, 258048 bytes


Is this the card you're using?

You would think that ATI would have more recent drivers, but it seems they don't: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeon-prer300-xp.html

Status: offline 		yeah I am using the ATI Radeon 9200 se. I have updated the drivers which like you said are over 2 years old. I tried a league game and the same thing happened.

Status: offline 		okay, I did a bit more research on the ATI Radeon 9200 se (note the SE part is a big deal unfortunately). That card came out in 2004, which is not too in of itself (I have a Geforce4 that's a bit older), but it was a mid range card at the time. 128MB is the minimum memory (so you're okay there) but all the information I can find on it says it's a DirectX 8.1 compatible card only.

I think this problem boils down to the cards drivers no longer being compatible with DirectX 9. It's really weird that some textures display, but not others.

Status: offline 		The ATI Radeon 9200 se is a DirectX 8.1 card that does not do shaders in hardware.

It is slower than the GeForce 5200 Ultra that I have on my old machine, and it will be difficult to play games in anything but the lowest settings with it.

Status: offline 		Is there a list anywhere of video cards compatible to this game. If I Buy a new on I want to make sure it is compatible and not waste any money.

It may answer most of your questions.

What wattage is your power supply?

Is your AGP slot 8x or 4x compatable?
