Combat Mission display issues

Post by pdoodley »

I have just purchased Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg. I have yet to even start playing as the words on the menus are barely legible. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650. I've looked on the Google and tried a fix using the DPI scaling suggestions; no luck. I am not a computer tech guru so I need basic instructions help. From what I've seen on the Google, this is a common problem. Any help will surely be appreciated

You are likely going to get more useful help on one of the official forums

first link doesn't work. I get blocked with an error message that reads "The connection for this site is not secure". The second link works but I am waiting to be "validated" before I can post anything. You'd think as many people that have had this problem there'd have been a patch made sometime. Thanks for your reply/insight

That's very odd. The Matrix forum is both public and also has valid certs.

Well, I was able to get the text issue resolved. But now, the menu screens are covered in what looks like static. The game plays fine, so far, once I can decipher the screen to get there. I'll keep pluggin away. Thanks

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. I had an issue with CM map rendering once and updating my drivers did the trick.

Updated graphic drivers before loading the game. Thanks

I'm not tech savvy at all and wouldn't know where to begin. I've totally given up on this game. I'll continue playing other games that have less issues. Too bad as this looks like a decent game.

I just checked and none of my CM games work now. I guess I have to contact the new owner since I bought the games under a different email than my email here. Or some such.

there was a 'update' at the old forum. A big nothing-burger. Even worse, the thread petered out and people are asking about fixing the latest issues.

It would be better if 'The New Owner' showed some discourse regarding what the customers would want. Relying on SG to shoot down new ideas by saying "That's not what CM2 guys want" is, as usual, just his arrogance showing.
