Strange issue with ATI

Hitman · 01-13-06, 12:21 PM

My Sub Command patched to 1.08 works OK in Windows XP with my ATI Radeon XT Pro card (Latest drivers), but funnily enough Sub Command options menu does not allow me to set the water animation to anything except "Low"

Obviously my system has more than enough performance (P4 @ 2.6 and 2GB RAM) to run it with full specs, but the box with medium and high water animations are simply blacked out

I can select any option (1280x 960 screen, EMBM water, etc.) but not change the animated water detail. If I use the "Defaults" key it temporarily switches to "Medium" water animation, but as soon as I restart sub command, the screen res goes back to 800x600 and water animation to "none"

.....any suggestions?

You can add -ATIFixed to the end of the target line of the shortcut, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Sub Command\subcommand.exe" -ATIFixed

Should take care of your problem!
