Summary0001315: unit icons are crapped - instead there appear funny pattened squares
DescriptionThe unit icons i talk about are these u see when u zoom out.

I found some other who also have an ati graphic card and who are suffering under the same problem.

It really ruins the gameplay cause u cant distinguish betwwena flea and a krog.

post infolog.txt; also, try updating drivers.

And you're sure it's the actual icons rather than the misnamed 'unit detail' setting's rendered-model-in-a-square giblets?
In short, make sure the 'unit detail' number is larger than the icon number and make sure it still happens.

just occured to me, does s44 use power of 2-size icons?

I get some glitched icons on ati too.

But not when I play complete annihilation.

Generally, there are way too many ATI-releated graphics problems.
Why does everything hate ati?

Why does everything hate ati?
   Every game is bugged with Ati video cards,
   and every driver version causes new even bigger errors.

it happens here too (ATI Radeon 9600). i uploaded my spring 1944 infolog.txt.
setting unit details to its max value did not change anything. it scrambles minimap icons and the ones on the main screen, when zoomed out enough.
in S44 it happens for all icons, in BA it happens for the commander, in CA it happens for some of the icons, for example:
- arm commander
- arm wind gen
- arm solar
doeas not happen for:
- arm LLT
- arm adv. radar
- arm kbot factory
- arm stealthy clockable metal extractor

while its a medium issue wiht CA, S44 is plainly not playable without icons!

I have the same prob (8800GTX). Best way to resolve it is to set unlimited unit draw distance :)

mm... this still leaves the minimap scrambled, and S44 unplayable though (infantry is practically invisible when zoomed a bit out) :/

jk said it is a bug, and it indeed seems to be a problem with non-power-of 2 sizes, or non-multiple-of 4 sizes or something, as imbaczek suggested.
S44 changed all thier icons to power of 2 sizes, and they seem to work fine for ATI users too now.

fixed in the engine some time ago, plus S44 and BA use only power-of-2 icons now
