Sorry, I must have missed this one.

Try deleting the VIDEO.TXT file in your CFG folder and then bump your graphics settings up a little at a time and see if that helps.

**Mosad** · 09-28-09, 05:39 AM

Nothing changed.Same poor quality.

I'm not that familiar with ATI cards, but is that the latest driver? If so, maybe uninstall the driver, use Driver Sweeper to remove any leftover files, then reinstall the driver again.

You could also try rolling back to a previous version and see if it makes a difference.

**Mosad** · 09-28-09, 09:55 AM

I did everything you said but no result...same quality.

**imported_Iggy** · 09-28-09, 01:48 PM

Well, I am fresh out of ideas. Have you tried the Steam forums?

**Mosad** · 09-30-09, 06:21 AM

geez...could you give me you video.txt?
