[0.802][Bug/Graphics] 2d background errors

from Elemental Forums

I've noticed some unusual graphic errors on my PC when running Elemental, most of them pertaining to the 2d images used. The easiest one to reproduce for me is when entering the shop keep screen, the bloom that is applied on the background image of the shop stays on the screen even after exiting. This is 100% reproduceable for me. Quest images also do not display, but the Quest GUI and text is displayed fine.

I've also had some other issues where it looks like slightly transparent 2d elements are still displayed on the screen, but I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it. I think its something to do with the kingdom screen or tech screen pop-up.

 

Will post screenshots very soon. PC specs are as follows:

Windows XP SP3

Asus Maximus Formula LGA775 X48 M/B

Intel C2D E6850

HIS Radeon HD4870 1GB running Cat 10.5 drivers

Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card

 

*Edit* Here are screenshots showing the item shop bloom bug I mentioned, as well as a screenshot of my graphics settings.

Here's a picture of the other 2d background bug I mentioned. This appeared after accessing the tech screen for the first time in a game after being prompted about the ability to research techs.
