Hey pete.
Just a quick question about your opengl plugin.
Im usin 1.57, now when i switch fsaa on,
(i use 2, i dont use 4 simply cause i think there is a bigger slowdown)
in Tomb raider 1 and 2 there menu "text" textures become garbled and also some ingame graphics such as tree's become coated with black textures :(

BUT!!
If i press delete to enable the gpu menu everything is fixed!!
Is there any chance there is another fix then having the gpu menu visible all the time??

Thanx for your time and thanx for such a cool plugin!!
Bobby.
PS I used your dx plugins but i find them much slower on my system then your opengl plugin.

I am also using det drivers 23.11

The black squares around objects looks like a driver problem to me. Had that problem with Diablo2 with my old ATI card. It would be good with newest drivers, but black boxes around everything with older ones. I'm using 27.20 right now and I played around with FSAA a bit (I usually have it off) and it does mess with some menu stuff in FF Tactics, I didnt try the gpu menu thing, but I believe that menu is supposed to stay up there once you press delete. Have you tried enabling the "Show FPS Display on Startup" option to the left of frame limiting?

yes i have it shows the gpu menu but id prefer a fix that didnt involve the gpu menu shown all the time cause it can be a bit distracting :)
Dame fsaa looks so dame good ive tried older drivers so i guess ill try newer then 23.11.
press delete to show the gpu menu , then press it again to hide it m8 :)

It's definitely a problem with the Detonator drives, since it only
showed up when I upgraded from 14.21 to 22.13 or so a while
back when I bought a new card (Mind you I played with the old
drivers before upgrading). Then again I like the newer
drivers so I don't mind the fps menu much.

Slightly off the org topic, but have you got texture filtering enabled?
