Those are the only drivers I\'ve confirmed to work - ATI emailed me details for a new driver to try - I\'ll try it later this week.

Ok, I\'m new to planeshift - well, kinda.. been a while since I played.

I was having the same issues as everyone else with ATI drivers and no text - someone mentioned trying other games that use crystalspace - I came accross a stupid game http://blocks3d.sourceforge.net/ - Same issue - no text - and since this hasn\'t been updated since 2003 and is a bin, it would appear to me it\'s in the ATI drivers.  

The game has the ability to change to software rendering - it worked fine, interestingly enough there was background as well which I was unaware of prior.

The ATI website does talk about an open source DRI driver from http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ -- I have not yet tested it.

Sending a Ticket to ATI to see what details I can get.

Edit 1 - March 2/2006 - 11:53PMEST:

Found a resource that has old drivers available. I\'m starting to install older drivers and see what comes of it.

Edit 2 - March 3/2006 - 12:47AM EST:

I have confirmed that the issue is between 8.18.8 and 8.19.10 - 8.18.8 does work. Newest: 8.22.5 does not.

Downgrade to 8.18.8 and issue should be resolved.
