Try updating to the latest drivers

And make sure anti aliasing and aniso filtering are turned off.

thanks, I try it but nothing changes.
any more suggestions?

If your ATI card came with a graphics control panel make sure you have Vertical Sync on FORCE OFF. The game might have it off but the card will still have it running.

How is Vertical Sync going to even affect his graphical issue? He never said he was having FPS lag, or mouse problems...

If anything, try re-installing the game.

in your control panel for your vidcard as well make sure that all texture settings are on high. It could be giving issues because of that as well.

thanks.
the problems with the sprites in kf_farm.rom are not resolved, but the textures are much better

You could maybe try finding the gaming equivalent of your videocard. And someone use that driver to try and fix the sprite issue.
Ati fireGL and Nvidia Quadro cards generally are not build for games but for modelling applications etc.

Yeah it does look like a texture pixelformat issue, specifically the alpha. Any way you can try the Catalyst drivers (or search for a likely looking option in the FireGL ones) ?

There was also a vertex buffer issue back in the day with ut2k4 on these cards; you could try setting RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice turning VARSize up to 96 and making sure UseVBO is off - if this eliminates the issue then it is that, and yes then it's a game engine bug.

In which case your best bet is to play around with your graphics drivers and the settings under D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice if you want to use DX again...
