Dunno... youve prolly already done this but, try updating all your drivers to full.

Also, goto Start-->All Programs (or program files)-->Neocron-->Configure Neocron and play with those settings and see if you turn anything up

If those dont work try re-installing

after that i dunno... :(

Can you post a pic of what your screen looks like when this happens? It might help to see what it looks like.

it wouldnt be somethignas stupid as the folder with the fonts has been deleted / corrupted would it. i mean if its only affecting text then maybe the problem is with the fonts or the part of program that is looking for the font maybe fubar'd.

(and before you laugh i know its obvious i know feck all about tech support, i'm just offering suggestions)

I was thinking maybe his RPOS setting was changed. Maybe, for some reason, the text was changed to the same color as the background.

Who knows?

Ok, well I am not sure if this will help or not, but have you tried to change your RPOS settings to see if that fixes this? Maybe yours was corrupted somehow.

If you want to try it (just in case you don't already know), you can find your RPOS setting in C:\Program Files\Neocron\ini (at least this is where it is on my machine) in the file named "rposcolor.ini" .

The default setting should be:

Default=128 255 190 255
DefaultText=180 240 200 255
DefaultTextEffect=255 255 255 255
SysMessages=255 160 160 160
GameMessages=200 200 0 160
LocalChat=255 255 255 255
GlobalChat=255 255 255 255
TeamChat=255 255 255 255
DirectChat=200 200 0 160
Player=200 200 0 160
PlayerNoPK=0 200 0 160
CharSysWarning=255 255 160 160
CharSysBonus=110 255 110 160
CharSysCritical=255 160 160 160
ContextActive=100 200 150 255
ContextNoActive=0 0 0 255
ContextDisabled=128 128 128 255
HighlightText=0 0 0 255
HighlightBackground=100 200 150 255
Item=190 255 230 255
ItemDisabled=128 128 128 255
ItemNotUsable=64 0 0 255
GoodSoullight=100 200 150 255
NeutralSoullight=200 200 150 255
BadSoullight=200 80 60 255
Damage=225 50 35 255
Heal=235 235 20 255

The setting I use is this:

Default=41 129 154 255
DefaultText=210 221 232 255
DefaultTextEffect=255 255 255 255
SysMessages=170 213 251 160
GameMessages=234 235 165 160
LocalChat=198 255 198 255
GlobalChat=255 255 255 255
TeamChat=7 167 35 255
DirectChat=237 246 164 160
ClanChat=85 247 115 255
Player=255 255 0 160
PlayerNoPK=0 200 0 160
CharSysWarning=255 255 160 160
CharSysBonus=110 255 110 160
CharSysCritical=255 160 160 160
ContextActive=100 200 150 255
ContextNoActive=0 0 0 255
ContextDisabled=128 128 128 255
HighlightText=0 0 0 255
HighlightBackground=255 150 0 255
Item=255 240 220 255
ItemDisabled=180 165 140 255
ItemNotUsable=220 25 0 255
GoodSoullight=0 255 64 255
NeutralSoullight=255 150 0 255
BadSoullight=147 0 0 255
Damage=255 0 0 200
Heal=0 150 0 200

I don't know if this will help or not, but it might be worth a try.

Did you use the download version of Neocron, or do you have the retail discs?

I don't know how the download version works, but if you have the discs you should be able to get the files from the discs. There are a lot (31) of .ini files to try to email them all to you.

Also, it may not be the .ini files. Maybe it's something else.

Have you tried a reinstall of Necron yet?
