Font problems using Intel HD Graphics (embedded)

  1. I seem to be having some font problems. I have tried setting my in-game resolution to all of the possibilities (including my laptop's native 1366x768), but the fonts look terrible, borderline unreadable. Anyone else see this problem / have any suggestions?

    Thanks!
  2. I have the same problem, sorry no fix for ya. I did get chat text to clear up by upping the font size. i suspect the same would work on menu text if there were a way to increase that font size.
  3. Could you PM me a screenshot of what you're seeing? Also try the normal things, uninstall completely and reinstall.
  4. i had that issue to when i was trying to "force" this or that graphical effect on vanguard client. Look at your nvidea or ati panel and see if you got override for this or that on. Some effect (can't remember what, probably some new anisotropic effect) caused my screen to look like watching a 480p youtube video on a big monitor. text was indeed unreadable and graphics distorted.

    just my two cents.
  5. I think I know part of the problem. Look at this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews...iew,3107-7.html and tell me where your card is ranked. I don't know that this is the complete problem. I do know that my laptop has switchable graphics and it wants to go to the low power Intel graphics when it is on battery power. This switch takes away a lot of graphics power that I would otherwise have with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6370 card. My laptop won't even tell me which Tier graphics the Intell HD is.
  6. This is the same on my new Mythlogic Nyx1712 as well, its a hybrid switchable graphics with 7970M and Intel Ivy Bridge with the HD4.0. I also have an upgraded panel, not the low end default, its 72% RGB gamut matte. It is also calibrated.
    I have it set to use 7970M and I am assuming it does as I can max it out with even high shadows at 1920x1080 and get 45+ FPS even in Khal around the riftway.
    I will boot it and hit up some screenies too.

    It would be much appreciated. Fonts should always just work and I'm currently aware of no reports of this type of bug. Would love to see some screen shots.
  8. Sorry I was away out of town, I will get those screenies to you over the next few days.
