Quote:• When you use the Intel 810/815 video adapter, you may experience corruption of text on buttons in the Freelancer game interface. But the game installs and operates with no further issues. To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps:
1. Locate the program directory in Freelancer. By default, the location is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer
2. Use Notepad to open the FLConfigDatabase.txt file.
3. Scroll to the Intel section that is located towards the bottom of the document. Alternatively, you can search by using "0x8086" (without the quotation marks).
4. Locate the "810" and "815" section. This will look similar to the following:
0x7121 = "810" 0x7123 = "810" 0x7124 = "810e" 0x7125 = "810e" 0x7126 = "810" 0x7127 = "810" 0x1132 = "815" Bad8888 NoMipMap ForceSquareTextures LimitTextureSize
5. Edit this section by removing the "ForceSquareTextures" line. This will look similar to the following:
0x7121 = "810" 0x7123 = "810" 0x7124 = "810e" 0x7125 = "810e" 0x7126 = "810" 0x7127 = "810" 0x1132 = "815" Bad8888 NoMipMap LimitTextureSize
6. Save any changes that you made to the file, and then close the file.
