OOTP6 - Weird Visual Error (XP)

seawolf17 · 11-21-2007, 02:23 PM

I've been an OOTP6 junkie ever since I bought it... so much so that I'm afraid to get the newer versions, because I'm too attached to the old one!

I got a new laptop, and copied the whole OOTP folder over. Game play is fine, but graphically, it's like there's a background missing or something. All of the screens look like this:

See how when you mouse over the "Teams" option, for example, the text is illegible? It's the same way, on all the screens:

Look at the out of town scoreboard-- it's all kerflooey. It's the same way on every screen; it's like there's a background file that's missing, or a setting that's screwed up somewhere. I've tried changing skins, but that's not it. Help!

Anyone?

IIRC, there's a config setting available for 3D toggle. Turn it on or off; whatever is the opposite of your current setting.

Where are the config settings?

Wait! Found it! THANK YOU!

I don't remember in-game, but using the Start menu, All Programs, OOTP6, there should be another flybar option for Config and/or 3D. You can do it there.

Did it work?

Yes, it absolutely worked. The config settings are a separate icon in the OOTP folder. Thanks!
