Just built myself a new computer but my favorite game is having problems. The graphics are fubarred. Its like the screen isnt being refreshed before new graphics go up. Text will layer on top of each other, any part of the map not covered by a new picture will remain around the border even if it shouldnt be there. I hope I explained this well, and I assume its some card setting for 2d, but darned if I know what it is. Any help greatly appreciated.

Interesting extra bit of info. First game I load (always a combat save from pbem) the loading bar fills then game always hangs. I give the three finger salute to bring up task manager and it minimizes the loading screen (by itself, no help from me). If I click on the minimized UV tab at bottom, the screen remaximizes to black screen then the combat replay starts, slowly layering on the graphics one at a time as they are required. If I load any gamesw after that it starts ok but again overlayers the graphics. Almost like the 2d grahics cant initialize or something, but stay up once the game requires them. Fresh install of UV 2.3 and 70GB free on my hard drive.

Dont know if anyone is paying attention to this thread but more info in case anyone can help. If I minimize the game (alt tab) then remax it it will refresh the graphics although often the bottom info area is blacked out till info comes up and slowly stays on screen. Its a bit of an awkward workaround but much more playable than the overly layered graphics.

DING DING DING, we have a winner, well almost. I slowed the core and memory speed on my card and its like 95% now. Still hangs when loaded first time but after remaximizing (see previous post) it runs, no layering. The minimap in lower right corner is still black, but I never used it anyway. Fortunately its very easy for me to change the card speed so its not a huge deal, although I think Matrix needs to make a patch just for me (j/k). Thanks everyone for your help, I just love this forum (group hug, wipes eyes).
