Radar

I can't seem to make my radar work, is there a fix. P4 2.4 Ati Radeon Mobility 7500 32 megs, game runs great but no radar. I have tried the hack=0/1 with no luck. Thanks

The ps_hack fix has always worked in the past. I don't know what else to do other than try switching to OpenGL mode.

I also had a problem with my radar not working. It was working when I initially started playing, but stopped (probably after tweaking display settings). I am not exactly sure what I changed, but after reverting the settings to defaults I still did not have radar. I finally got it working by switching to OpenGL. I was not aware of the ps_hack fix, so I don't know if that would be successful.

Another quirk I noticed while using DirectX was the color palette for selecting ship colors looked like it was only 8-bit or something(4 adjacent squares became 1), even though I was set at 32 bit. The ship color changed normally. This didn't seem to occur using 16 bit DirectX or OpenGL

My setup is WindowsXP, Geforce2 GTS (32 MB) using latest Detonator drivers and DirectX 9.0b, Athlon XP1700+, 512MB DDR

The ship color selection bug appears if you are in DirectX mode with Texture Compression enabled on a Nvidia GeForce 5200-5600. I've never heard of it happening in a Radeon, but it might. Try turning off Texture Compression.
