Medieval Total War 2: Text Corruption Graphics Bug

Posted in Errors, Games by Elliott Back on November 18th, 2006.

Playing a hot new video game should not produce this result:

Apparently, players with ATI 1900 and 1950 graphics cards are experience text corruption in-game. The solution quite simple–just follow these steps:

  • Open the ATI Catalyst control center
  • Turn off ATI A.I. Technology

As you can see the text are not like it is supposed to be, he also had that text-problem with the demo, but he could play the historical battless then. But because of some problem he cant start the campaign and it just jumps back to the menu, I do not know if that have something to do with the text-problem.

He changed a little bit in the descr_strat.txt -file, but that was only the timescale, show date_as_ and the 17 playable factions playable and it didn’t work when he edited them back to the normal settings either.

This is the specs:
har: ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512MB
4096 MB DDR Corsair
AMD FX-60 2.6 GHz dual core
Soundblasters – Audigy SE

This answers questions like the above. Have fun!

    My HD2600 ATI has text problems, its not that they are messed up looking, its that the letters dont even appear on in game scrolls, like town scrolls, army scrolls, and such. Any suggestions?

  3. Eldamir says:

    I have this problem with my Ati Radeon X1300.

  4. Nicolai says:

    I have the same problems with a X850XT, i have shut down catalyst A.I.

    The game works fine, until you want too set the graphics resolution too 1280-1024 then the corruption comes back.
