Weird Text at 32 bit

[komninosm]

I have a Geforce 4 MX AGP 8x and I get weird unreadable text with 32 bit resolutions. It's fine with 16 bit. I'm updating my drivers now, but I'd like to hear if there is a simple solution to my problem.
BTW where (address) do I register the game?
Tnx.

I got the new Nvidia drivers but nothing...

I also just patched the game to 1.20 to no avail.

Kind of weird that the game screen (menu) says DoW engine 1.20 Warhammer 1.0 build etc... , what's that supposed to mean, warhammer 1.0?
Also strange that I couldn't use the patch 1.10 directly and I had to download some 1.01 patch first. What was that about? It doesn't even have a readme.

I guess I will have to keep playing at 16 bit colour and tomorrow I'll be so curious I'll download the mod tools so I can check up all the real values of unitstats and mod a little, like I did with Homeworld games.

See ya all and tnx for any help.

Oops! My mistake. I didn't reboot after installing the new Nvidia drivers. Yup that fixed the bad text. Now I feel like a noob :-(

I guess that advice update everything works in some cases :-p

THANK YOU!! you are my god :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
i have been panicing for days on this one :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Gee tnx, but I'm an atheist :-p

PS: I panicked a little too when I bought the game after playing with a few friends in a Net Cafe (sort of). I wanted my fix. At least it ran fine in 16 bit and I can't see a great difference really. But I'm sure there is since I'm artistically challenged. Wow the postscript is 4 times as big as the message. Even bigger now. /Homer Simpson: DOH!

On the subject of text I find that the text is smoother in 1024x768, if a little on the small side.

HOWEVER in 800x600 it is a bit bigger but SOME (not all) of the text popups(tooltips and stuff or just plain text) are a bit blocky. And some text doesn't fit in the one line it is supposed to. So it goes below and is half hidden by other stuff. Not a major problem since it is mostly large team names and some stuff in the campaign. I guess I can take the performance hit and go to 1024x768 if I set everything to low, and that's what I did.
