As the title says, I am having an issue with the text on a lot of my games on my P3 Win 98 FX5500 build. DOS games are unaffected, but 3D games have distorted in game text. Any idea what is causing this and how I can fix it?
It's a common problem with older games. Depending on the make and model of the card, it can cause distorted text and UI elements in 3D games. On Nvidia cards, there's a control panel setting to adjust texel origin which can fix the problem, but unfortunately I only saw it on drivers older than 45.23, and even then you may need the coolbits registry mod to enable it.
On Ati cards, the setting is called "use alternate pixel center" and it's present even in the latest Win98 drivers. One more reason I prefer Ati cards over Nvidia.
