Video problems

[Drake Wingfire]

Well when i got my new computer a Q6600, i also got a NVIDIA GT8500NX put into it (512 mb) and well i fired up MS on it and allw as perfect except one thing, all the text in the game, chat, HUD, even the inventory item names are all over sized, adn no matter what i set the resolution to or run it it it stay big unless i change things so bad it deforms and warps the game making all the NPC look as if they been eating at Mc Donalds far to much XD.

I know for a game based on teh HL1 engine my graphics card is over even calling it overkill but i don't understand why only all the text is screwed.

What resolution are ye running at?

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Generally some resolutions screw with the text, but screwing with your resolutions then putting it back to normal helps... Though I'm not sure, as I've never had the problem.

I'm running at 1440 x 900, which for other games runs perfect for some reason, i was able to get the text regular size, but that also had the side effect of stretching the game itself out thus successfully making everyone fat, i had to really screw with the resolution to make it work, but the funny thing is on my old P4 i had it going at the same rez (since i have the same screen, 19" Samsung SyncMaster 940NW)

Are you playing other games at this same res? (This is sounding more like a gfx card issue than MSC). If your monitor is wide screen - are ye sure you are in widescreen mode? Also might suggest trying a standard ratio - like 1024x768, and see what happens.

 

[Drake Wingfire]

yes i have run HL1 and such mods along those line and had no problems, i am also running in wide screen more, when i did try setting it to 1024 x 768 is one of those times it stretched it to my monitor, i agree its a vid card computability issue, i just don't know why MSC is the only game effected, i ran it like that on my old computer with this same rez and everything and it was perfect.
