Looks like your card is messing up or an incorrect driver install. I have a 9800 pro and don't get those issues in BF1942.

np ,) - but i had great hopes that ATi fixed this compatibility because the game worked with CAT 3.7 but with CAT 3.8 + CAT 3.9 = Broken -> i feel me a little behind Service with my R9700Pro (wich had cost 480Euro ~ 450 $ as i bought it ~8 month)

Yep BF1942 is still broken for me too, seems to be the same problem except I can't even get into the came without the corruption happening (corruption starts after first resolution change, which always happens going from 800x600 (menu) to game and even seems to happen when starting from ASE). I've also recreated this bug in Freelancer by changing the resolution in the config. Here's some sshots http://www.uccs.edu/~ssiloti/images/cat39borked.jpg (texture coruption happens on some maps, triangle corruption seems to originate from vehicles) http://www.uccs.edu/~ssiloti/images/cat39freelancer.png (after changing the resolution and navagating the badly corupted menu I get this in-game, it flickers fullscreen but as soon as an avatar pops up (radio message) in the upper right the entire game screen appears to be compressed into the area the avatar occupies) |

I was getting those same results all last night if i exited a game to the control menu and my card is far from broken works great. Was gunna get some screen shots but its not happening now. The other was i would get real bad artifacts where you coudnt even see the screen once i went back into the game but in the menu screen id get what you have up there in teh screens. x16 aniso is the only buff i have while playing. Well the 3.9s are out and i dont want to upgeade go figure.

i have the same issues, and it's not the card, maybe the bios on the card makes it work different then some cards... but going to 3.7 fixes it, so it's not the card, also it's not a heat/overclocking issue since i can play one map for 8 hours without a problem.. problem ONLY occures AFTER going into the menu btw i love the thread name ![]() |

I replaced 4 Files currently from the original CATALYST 3.9 Files from set of the CAT(6392) Release where from this release i have not this Bug... So my 1# research was that "ONE" of these 4 Files Broke my R9700Pro Compatibility... -> The Files are >ati3d1ag.dl_ (from 6392) >ati3d2ag.dl_ (from 6392) >ati3duag.dl_ (from 6392) >atiddc.dl_ (from 6392) ->After installing the original CAT3.9 with these replaced Driver Files from Asus Set The Texture Corruptions are Gone and Fixed... More Research is coming to help other Peoples... and to Provide them with my findings... Must sleep now -> women ,) -> work |

This is a real problem. It was introduced with the Cat 3.8s. It has nothing to do with overclocking, overheating, or anything of the like. Perhaps it's 9700 (Pro?) Specific? |

Oddly enough, I had the Cat 3.8's installed and played BF1942 several times without this occuring. Then one day it started. Reinstalling the drivers and wiping out all driver settings in the registry has not helped. Fortunatelly, the corruption is only in the menus and actual gameplay is not effected. |

I've never had any issues with BF 1942 on any Radeon driver. It did have a graphic hitch a couple of times, but Nvidia users also had the same issue as well.

I had these same issues with the 3.8's...but I won't be trying the 3.9's to see if it fixes it as I have an 9700Pro AIW and I hear it breaks all openGL games.... sheesh. Please ATI....be careful with the next driver release. |

I too have experienced this problem with Catalyst 3.8 and BF1942. And as with your situation , it didn't happen with Catalyst 3.7. I was totally surprised when it happened as it reminded me of the bad old days of Ati drivers where totally weird and unexpected driver issues reared their ugly head. Like one with my old Rage Fury Pro where Unreal Tournament would become a collage of a bunch of what appeared to be little gif avatars after each game - and with each extra game I would get more of them. For the first 2 months of use I couldn't let my monitor go into standby or I wouldn't be able to wake it up again , and I would have to hit the reset button. 2 driver revisions later all problems were solved , but my God it was hell for a while.

Same problem. Had it first with the 3.8's, & now 3.9 continues the trend. Sphinx, you mentioned a fix to me last time around, but I haven't tried that yet. Here's what I'm running: BF1942 1.5 + RtR, everything max, 4xAA, 8xAF. (Built by ATI) Radeon 9500 Pro, No OC P4B 2.4 Asus P4S8X 2x 512 Samsung DDR 333 Sony G400 @ 1152x864x32 / 85 Hertz Windows 2000 SP4 Since the 3.8's I went from SP2 to SP4 & BF1942 1.45 to 1.5. No differance... / Edit: System specs...

I think the problem is Windows 2000 specific. Anyone having the problem and running XP? |

Just switched from my 9700Pro to my 9500 and the same graphic corruption is present, so scratch that 9700-only comment. I am however running Win2K (SP3) |

It could be a only Win2k R3oo Problem only... other conclusions why some have this damn bug and others not...

Forgot to add that i can play games fine as long as i dont exit to the menu then everything screws up and i have to run the alt-ctr-tab to end game. Also any fsaa make the game so jittery that you cannot shoot anything.

yup i'm using windows 2000 too, i thought it was also specific to r300, but someone said they had a 9800 and he had the same problem. i thought it might also be the bios, still investigating that. anyway i'm now back using Cat3.6 drivers and they work perfect for BF. |

I just went from Win2k to XP so I will know soon enough if the problem exists with XP. As with the others here , for me the problem didn't occur in-game and it only occured if I went to the menu's screen.
