I've had the same "Green text" problem in OpenGL as many others, but only since beta 4. I DO have a dual monitor output, but once again, it wasn't a problem in the previous versions. I've even tried disabling the secondary output in the hardware manager. No luck. Does anyone have any idea as to why this started happening in beta 4? I made no hardware or software(drivers) changes prior to, or after the installation of NSb4. I've tried updating video display drivers - also no help. So, am I stuck or what?
Comments
use default driver settings, do not use third-party software to overclock or alter driver settings.
I fiddled about with the files that are linked with tanith, but nothing worked.. i couldn't be bothered to reinstall, so i lived with it for a week, then suddenly it all went back to normal.
Strange that.
I've experienced the same problem using windows xp (I use 2k3 enterprise now).
My machine:
Athlon XP 1.7+
512 ram ddr 266
GeForce 4 MX 4000, 128mb
If you guys have ANY news on this issue, let everybody know please :}
This issue really sux, specially when I can't see the order/med/ammo requests at the screen <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
App sharing, RA, Desktop sharing, etc, all will have the same effect. I imagine running Diablo (etc) in the background (on another monitor, perhaps,) would have a similar effect. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The answer is in the pinned thread.
Also known as:
"Your display does not support downloadable gamma"
Black sprites on the HUD
Green scoreboard text
Causes:
1. The Half-Life Gamma Ramp isn't compatible with your display drivers.
Fixes:
1. The Half-Life Gamma Ramp isn't compatible with your display drivers.
This problem is caused by the Gamma Ramp method being incompatible with the 64-bit display drivers. They handle gamma in a way which wasn't around when Half-Life was made, way back when. What you will need to do is twofold.
First of all, open up the command console (default key: ` or ~), and type the following:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->cl_gammaramp 0<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
That will disable the gamma ramp, leaving you to set it yourself. Obviously, this will lower the gamma dramatically. Then, what you need to do is to find the display options (under Options -> Video), and adjust the gamma upwards (Gamma slider is at the bottom right of the video options page). Then click Ok, which will then restart NS. Connect to your usual servers, and play away, with the proper display methods being used smile-fix.gif<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
