Blurred GC2 logo on the main screen... bug or feature??

December 1, 2010 6:37:21 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Everything other is clear & sharp - just the GC2 logo keeps blurred, regardless of the game version (i.e. for all the DL, DA or TA). What's wrong with it?? Should I change some option(s) in .ini? If yes, which one?

This thing keeps bothering me every time I start the game, it seems realy UGLY
I suspect it could be either because of in-game logo transparency and/or because of in-game actual resizing...

When I search for the files (3x Logo.png or Ultimate_Logo.png) and view them, they seem normal and sharp.
Any tip how to solve this issue?

I don't know how long it lasts there, but you can see the screenshot here:

Try turning off antialiasing if you have it on.

It's off already - and changing it has no effect.. -> so this means that this is not normal behaviour, right?

If you're forcing anisotropic filtering in your driver settings that could be it as well, but beyond that I'm not sure what the cause could be.

I'm using ATI Radeon 4600 Saphire & ATI Catalyst CC v2010.0803.2125.36577. The point is that there is no option to turn AA off - it could be either on '2x' (minimum, also there are three different methods) OR 'application will choose'. Neither of options does change anything in game for the logo. The same goes for AF. I understand that this could be high probably a bug for my videocard (still doesn't sure if its driver OR game related)...

Noone else has the same experience?

Do you have the latest ATI drivers?  I think it's 10.11 right now.

 

Here's how my logo looks.  Does it seem sharper?

The problem is solved - it was really an issue of the drivers VS the game. When I upgraded the drivers and then forbid the game to use ingame AA while I forced AA through the graphic card, the logo is sharp as it should be (although, the opposite does not work - the game AA is still bad in my case).

Thank you for the help and for the tips
