V4.0.1.2 Text Glitch

[Zero Hour]

Unusual Glitch, happened twice - no apparant cause. Nicknames also randomly disappeared shortly before and after this happened.

Yes, it's a known problem. Stefan tried to fix it in 4.0.1.2, but it didn't work. He mentioned a more complex way to fix it, but we will lose text transparency in the process . To make it work in the meantime, press F3 and disable bitmap fonts.

Ok please test if with v4.01 revision 3 the text bug still happens.

Happened again to me (v4.01 revision 3).

Attached is an example. The top bar is supposed to have text. By the way, the F8 menu is also screwed up when I get this error.

I noticed that in the F2 log, "Initialized Direct3D7" is normally followed with "Initialized DirectDraw".

When this error happens, "Initialized DirectDraw" does not follow "Initialized Direct3D7".

Example:

NPC Code:

---

Deleted DirectDraw Surfaces

Finalized DirectDraw

Initialized Direct3D7

Initialized DirectDraw

Deleted DirectDraw Surfaces

Finalized DirectDraw

Initialized Direct3D7

Initialized DirectDraw

Deleted DirectDraw Surfaces

Initialized Direct3D7

At the end, should there be an "Initialized DirectDraw"?

I found that it happens when I close my laptop lid and open it again. I think this is equivalent to turning off a PC moniter and on again.

It happened to me with the rev3 version today. First time ever, but it only happened for a few seconds.

[napo_p2p]

It's not happening on rev4

after i recently download the update the text went back to wat i had when i first started using graal 4
Note:i use 16 bit

[CheeToS2]

New new version released (4.016) to specifically try to fix this problem. Please see if it happens again (restart your client first to make sure you have the newest version).

[Link93]

I just downloaded the new update and it didnt do anything it looks exactly the same and it just added a new error cuz i used a toy hammer on UN and i smushed myself. The first update was the best one cuz their was no errors on UN it was perfect the text was fine and everything.
Note: i still use 16 bit the highest i can goto is 24bit but i lag on that

[CheeToS2]

Ah, it just happened to me in the new version (4.016). First the text became the weird red squares people have seen, then it became the weird characters, and some text was ok but it was flickering.

[Link93]

mine is squares in any color on 24 bit and it shows this reblue and green thing when u open the client

Please report what gfx card you have, and which color resolution and screen resolution you are using. Have you other programs running? When exactly does the error happen, is it possible to reproduce it ?

[Link93]

i dont really know wat gfx card i have cuz i dont know how to check it but my color quality resolution thing is 16bit the highest i can go is 24 bit and my screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels or watever
