I have recently upgraded my video card and now the entire X-wing series has clipped or cut off graphics in 3d mode.
I previously had a Geforce 6600 and all games worked fine in 3d...from X-wing all the way through to XWA.
now I had a Radeon 2600 XT, using catalyst 7-9 and all objects appear clipped or cut off. I could post a screenshot.
Im pretty sure it has to be a driver issue, since its the same problem in all X-wing type games.
any ideas which catalyst I should use?
I'm guessing there's a conflict between the Catalyst driver and the old Geforce driver. There's a utility called Driver Cleaner (
http://www.drivercleaner.net) that will remove all traces of old drivers, so I'd like you to try that first and get back to us.
One step ahead of you there. when I got the new radeon card, I already used driver cleaner to remove the nvidia drivers. so, its clean.
I tried the Catalyst 7.10 drivers last night, and the problem becomes completely different. The graphics become stretched and warped across the screen.....much worse.
I go back to 7.9 and the objects are back to being clipped/cut off.
definatley a driver issue, just gotta find the right one, but im loathe to backtrack through every version of catalyst drivers.
Do you notice similar problems in other games?
I have alot of 3d games on my machine, from things like Battlefield 2142 to older ones like Mechwarrior 4. no other problems at all.
I even have other lucasarts games, such as Jedi Knight II and Empire at War.....no issues.
You might want to see if a reinstall works, then. Be sure to back up your *.plt files before you do so.
Well, I tried reinstalling XvT and XWA, no change. same problem with this driver.
I'm really @ a loss now. :|
good thing I kept my 6600.....I could just toss it back in....
Hello.
I have the same problem with HD3870 card and with cat 7.11 the game will load but will have major graphical problem. In fact many DX5-7 games are having similar problem.

It is defiantly ATI drivers for HD cards, I also have 9800Pro X1950XT 6800 AGP and 7800GTX these cards play X-wing games just fine.
Thanks.
