Seriously, **** THIS GAME

I actually think the foreground is as much to blame for the horrible Beth site - crappy layout all around really, and a poor choice of forum software. Definitely not something they’ve spent any real time on putting together, and I’m sure one the place started filling up with posts from disgruntled customers, that they lost any remaining interest in making it look nice :slight_smile:

I heard about this study of readability, and it’s quite the opposite for me - nothing is as clear as black text on a light background. The opposite starts to give me a headache after a while - when I ran forums I had constant disagreements about theme colours, because I wanted a standard but a handful of users wanted evil dark colours :slight_smile:

I should find that study again… knowing me I’m probably remembering the exact reverse of what it should be :tongue:

It could have been off-white background and off-black text… or it could have been neon-pink background with as many ani-gifs as possible and flashing text (hence all of geocities) :smiley:

Ah, the nostalgia! :slight_smile: When MS Frontpage ruled the internets :slight_smile: lol

for vision impaired, black text on a yellow background is easiest to read

Just like iamriot’s avatar! :slight_smile:

Yup, can at least get to 25ish! Maybe 25-90 (300 in the char screen!!!) if you run the fps config. Or you could just do what everyone else seems to be doing and either buy a NVIDIA (otherwise known as the ‘I don’t have a problem stop whining’ group) or a 6950 (otherwise known as the ‘why am I having to spend another 200quid to play something on doom3s engine’ group). Or you could just do what a bunch of other peeps have done and go play quakelive until “everything’s fixed”.

Thats what I am doing. RA3, (CA) was my ****! So much fun on a 10+ year old game.

I have an nvidia card so those catalyst drivers dont do much. :frowning:

did you try the new nVidia drivers released today ?

i don’t know about PC users but i’m not experiencing those difficulties on the PS3:hog:

(legend123) #70

afaik PS3 and Xbox each have one video card from one company.

on the PC everyone uses their own choice of video card
so its harder to make all of them work fine (just a theory).

Graphics problems - for those encountering them - are pretty much all down to the card manufacturers, and caused by driver issues. I have a GTX 280 OC, and it’s been working perfectly since release of Brink - as it does with every game I throw at it. Both ATI and NV have struggled to keep drivers stable for all GPUs in the past though - I think on the NV side with Brink, it’s just the 5xx series that currently has problems.

Nvidia 9800 GT here and no issues either.
I think the ATI driver guys are struggling at the moment. This is the 3rd game now that I’ve seen having issues with certain models of ATI and seem to get better slowly with each ATI driver update (not game updates).
Makes me think ATI should slap their driver writers and upgrade all the problem models for people.
/shrug. Always been an Nvidia guy and never had any issues that a driver update didn’t solve (except that damn black texture bug in WoW when I had an ancient 6 series card).
