Play-By-Play problem; cannot read!

BigRedPlaya · 04-17-2004, 08:48 PM

I am using the demo for OOTP 5. Everything looks great, except I just played (managed) my first game last night and could not read the play-by-play text. For one, it seems to be in black font over the pitchers stats for the game with no background to it. Besides that, when I TRY to read it, it seems to overlap itself, going about 6 lines then rewriting itself ontop of what was already there. I've read mostly all the posts on here and haven't seen anything else on this issue. Anyone else having this problem? Fixed it? Or know of a solution to it? I am using Windows XP with 48.0 gb of Free Space.

Go into the “game”(OOTP, ITP, etc) folder and open the "game config" file, toggle the 3d setting, close those things and try the game again.

If that doesn't solve it, go to start then run and type dxdiag and hit enter. The direct X utility will open and it will let you know what version of direct X you are have installed. If it is less than v9 go to http://www.microsoft.com download and install v9, reboot your computer and then try the game again.

One of these two things should get things going. Please let me know if you are still having problems after trying both of these.
