broken radar icons of commander and air units

Post by probzorun »

Hello. I've got broken radar icons of commander and air units.
What can i do?
What are the image files with these icons?
It has always been this way if i recall correctly.
Also some time ago, before BA6.85 and LolUI, command panel had background broken in similar way.
The icon looks like "uninitialized memory".
Image attached.

It is an issue with your graphics card. Upgrade from ATI/Integrated, or wait for the next release where the icons have been changed to accommodate your hardware.

Thanks for reply.
Isn't that weird, that other icons work fine?
Maybe it's dependent on icon (texture) size?
I'm a programmer myself... this doesn't look like too hard to fix or that it would really should be dependent on hardware.
Wouldn't it be enough to just change the icon image files?

About when is the next release going to happen?

There's a thread about this in the BA forum. The problem is very simple. Some ATI cards claim they can handle non-power of two textures when they cannot. I think spring's next release will have a hardcoded bit to counter this, but either way the BA icons will be resized.
