Missing target data text when using the map

DingoBob · 07-31-20, 09:25 PM

Does anyone else have this problem?

When I have the 3D view maximized, all the target data is there and there are no issues:

However, when I have the map maximized, the box is there but all data is missing:

As you can see, the shaded box is there but there is no info. When I start a mission with the map maximized, the information will flash for about half a second and then disappear until I maximize 3D view. I have tried using CTRL+B, but all this does it turn the empty box on and off. I have no mods installed, I am only using the d3d8.dll wrapper in order to run DW on windows 10. I have searched everywhere, and it doesn't appear anyone else has this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to use dgVoodoo2 - its best solution for running DW even in window mode.

Btw on your screens "underwater caustic effect" also looks not correct

Thanks for this, you're a life saver! I couldn't find this anywhere else.

As for the caustic effects, is there a fix for this that you know of? If not, it's not a big deal for me, I try to stay away from the 3D view, which is why this was such a big problem for me.

Again, thanks!
