Thanks for the help!!

Also there is no blackbox report becasue the game loads fine i just cant read anything

[crzy92]

Does anybody know how to fix this, i really want to play

It's certainly a font issue... anyone know the details on how they are rendered?

Try some stable drivers for a start.

Installing the latest drivers and not beta drivers worked
Thankz

Have you reinstalled the game since you got the new graphics card? I doubt it would help, but maybe the windows installer does more than just dump the files there. Try it.

[crzy92]

I didn't have the game installed and since i got the new graphics card, i thought i would try out the game.
I just dont know why it doesnt work with beta drivers, i have always played many games with only beta drivers.

I have the same problem, and I have stable drivers. I downloaded the demo off steam, and it worked, but I uninstalled it. When I purchased the game and tried to run it, it appeared just as it does in the screen. Help please.

My Problem:
When ever i open the game im presented with this


Ive tried, changing resolutions to no avail and changing every setting in my drivers and even resetting them (my pc runs darwinia great)

[General Mao]

Someone please help, it's really ticking me off...heh

[frenchfrog]

Does rolling back to a older driver change something?

Check that anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering is not enabled by default on OpenGL games?

[General Mao]

Didn't help me, and all my AA is Application controlled, which I can't really change because I can't read anything in the game!

Delete your install of Defcon, and re-install it using the installer from IV here:

I'd wager that the rapidshare download has been altered some how (especially the key being set to rapidshare...)

Hmm, thanks for the reply, but ive got the exact same problem still.
Id post the debug.txt but its pretty much identical

I have this same problem too. I have the Steam version and I was previously able to play it no problems. I tried deleting everything and re-downloading it, but it's the same.

Heya, juat bought the game and the same problems happened to me, wondering if theres a fix yet? Or have Interversion done nothing about it?
