Font (Types) shame hud + ATI Sapphire drivers issues

Post » Wed Oct 28, 2009 6:10 am

Hi there,
I am the administrator of www.zoccommunity.com
I am running the game for the whole community and that is why I am writing here and I will continue to report each problem me or my community get across.
I'll try to be as much clear as possibile.
I hope games developer are looking to this post because I found out a real couple of issues.

My game is a Steam Pre-Order

My system is
Intel Core Due Duo E6700
ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP Edition
Corsair DDRII-800 4 GB
ATI Radeon Sapphire 4850 1GB GDDR (not HDMI edition)
ATI Drivers version: 8.801-101125a-109810C-ATI
ATI Catalyst version 10.12
Windiws Vista Enterprise 32 Bit Service Pack 2


My Problems:
1) Hud Fonts after couple of seconds from in-game start fonts (types) are totally a shame: you cant read it! That shame seems to be not permanent and sometimes fades after death/respwn than it turns without any reason. It also appears in different parts of the HUD without any reason I took a screenshot over Steam:

UPDATE with same FONT issue but now also in the Capability Customization menu:
As you can see numbers about each powerup are looking like a grid of mess, a total shame...
This font issue comes out with each class menu and some of those have more grid over several powerups
Hope this helps you:

This error appers with
ATI Drivers version: 8.801-101125a-109810C-ATI
ATI Catalyst version 10.12
The game perhaps runs smooth without any crash.

2) Old Sapphire drivers are better than newer
Yesterday I also tryed to play the game after full update to my ATI videocard drivers+catalyst as Brink developers said -is better to do- but I found out that with latest possibile Sapphire ATI Drivers and Catalyst the game is almost impossible to play: Graphic is a shame almost like a jpeg image stretched onto a surface http://store.steampowered.com/news/5464/, Games starts scattering to 15 frame per seconds.
This problem occours with official Sapphire driver package 56.67MB released on May 11th 2011:
Catalyst Software Suite 11.5 (5/9/2011) Package Includes: Display Driver OpenCL Driver ATI Integrated Driver Catalyst Control Center (English Language Only) For the 32 bit version of Windows Vista and Windows 7 for Windows Vista 32-bit Edition
Package zip name after download: 11-5_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_ocl_634407116749706227.zip

Tuning back to ATI Drivers version:
ATI Drivers version: 8.801-101125a-109810C-ATI
ATI Catalyst version 10.12

Game runs smooth but still with font gridding issue.

Hope you can fix or if you have any suggestion to fix this to tell me what to do.

Thank you and keep on pushing the game is fantastic.

As far as I play as far as the blur on the Words appears on hud on overhead names and objects overhead than also on the main menu layouts
I post some other screenshots overhere:

Reaver name: the R is a shame blurred and in the same screenshot there is the Sentry name totally blurred:

During the same game after couple of seconds i moved ahead the Sentry gun vanished from my eyes but just when I turned i still see blurred typos on the Sentry name:

This is the error at the end of game session on the "Fatto" bottom on left (Fatto = Done)

I like how slow they are at fixing such serious issues.
