I've got a problem with the Text that is shown in the HUDs during in flight.<P>The text isn't corrupt, just parts of the letters are missing, such as the 'H' is more like | |, and the 'D' is like ).<P>I'm XWA on Win98 with DirectX8, using a GeForce 3 (ASUS) with driver version 12.41.<P>Any ideas on how to correct the problem?

Let me guess, with a GeForce 3 you run XWA with a resolution at something equal or higher than 1280? It seems XWA simply can't properly handle this.<P>------------------<BR>Murphy was an optimist!<BR><B>I</B> am a pessimist!<BR>Webmaster of the <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project</A>

I have the same problem. I have a GeForce 2, with DirectX 8, but I think Force is right, XWA just screws up at resolutions like that (mine is 1280x1024)

I lowered the resoulution to 1024x768, and that seems to correct the lettering problem. While there is a little bit of corruption, it's nothing serious at all.<P>The strange thing is that I was sure that I had no problems running 1280x1024 with my TNT2. Maybe I didn't notice it.<P>Thanks all the same.
