ATI9600 + Operation Flashpoint

[agrelaphon]

Hi to all:D
A friend of mine tride to play this game on his rig (WinXP, P4@2.6GHz, Ati9600 256MB) and he said he had invisible characters[:0]
So, I said ok, I'll fix the problem, I went to his house with Catalyst 5.11 on a CD, installed it (not removing the old drivers firt) and to my surprise, ...invisible characters again!
On the black sargeant, one can see only his hat, and hands, on other (white people) everything is invisible except their uniform (could this be a racist thing?). Shadows are ok though lol:D
Seems to me like z-buffer errors, maybe. So if anyone with an ATI tried this, please inform

i play operation flashpoint without errors with an ATI 7500 and an ATI x800

hmm.. what could be the difference[?] Maybe a setting in the drivers?

[benna]

try reinstalling drivers or installing previous drivers; have you already patched the game to the last version?
another thing may be helpfull:
find and download KegDxDll, this is a program which enables dx8 effects in operation flashpoint; if this file won't correct the problem makes the graphic a lot better anyway

A patch that would solve the problem crossed my mind also, hmm.. we'll see[^]

First make sure you have all the patches installed like said above.

This seems to be a problem that pops up now and again.
Make sure you have your color depth set at 32bit and not 16bit.
It also seems to happen when you alt+tab out of the game and back.
If you can't fix it you can always get help on the Flashpoint forum.
