Title: Serious Problem with sc4
Post by: Toichus Maximus on January 18, 2010, 11:52:43 AM
So, I installed windows 7 yesterday. And of course, first thing i did was make sure SC4 was working. It was fine and dandy, as always. Now, today I was playing, got a BSOD (has always happened on occasion).

Problem is, after this BSOD, the game only runs like this:

Tried setting different resolutions to try and get it to match up right, no dice. Removed all the plugins--no luck. I'm pretty sure the problem is the software renderer. Anyone have any clever solutions or similar problems? Please help!

Have you tried updating/reinstalling drivers?
