Blurry text in game

Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

Is 1440x900 the native resolution of your monitor?

Can you post an unscaled image?

What OS and what are the specs on your video card. We are starting from the basics as we have not seen anything like this in testing.

Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)

ATI Radeon 4830 Series- 1GB memory

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200

3GB RAM

I saw that a lot of people fixed their problems just by re-downloading and re-installing the demo, but no results for me. . . the text is readable just it's very hard. The only places where I can't make a thing out are: the MAP LEGEND, ORDER OF BATTLE, COURIER MENU, and the TOOL TIPS when you float over the buttons in-game. It looks like some weird made up alien language! :lol:

Ahhhhh well. . .

Do you have the latest Catalyst drivers installed?

Something you could try is to disable AntiAliasing and Anisotropy. Open the SOWGB.ini file (Scourge of War - Gettysburg\Work\) and change AntiA=2 / Anso=4 to AntiA=0 / Anso=0.

Tried it after disabling AA and Anisotropy, and no results, still blurry.

What version of DirectX does your system have? The game needs DX9.0c or higher. The needed files ship with the game, but there is an additional issue here.

Also, are you running in full screen mode?

This is a bit of a long shot, but have you tried some other screen resolutions? This is not an issue we have seen before.
