I can run any game just fine no problem, but Killing Floor is giving me a serious issue. Upon changing the graphics quality from anything below High to High or Higher, all of the text becomes invisible. I cannot see or navigate the menus or see any text ingame. Yes my drivers are all working properly, no I will not update them as this is the only stable HD5850 driver available. The game worked just fine prior to upgrading my rig to Windows 7 on the same exact video driver.

I've isolated the issue. It happens whenever I set antialiasing to ANYTHING other than None. ...What's the deal with that? I have to set my CCC to allow program to set the antialiasing or else my Source engine games won't run properly, and I cant set KF to do its own antialiasing or else I cannot see any text.

Sorry bud, but the only answer has been to not enable aa.

I'm just doing a workaround for now, the guys on that forum are idiots to say that Antialiasing doesn't make it look any better. The jagged edges are disgusting, no reason to have them when playing with an expensive card. I just run no AA while in the menus, then switch the AA on once I get in a server and it works just fine. I can just turn the AA off before leaving the game and menus will be fine next loadup again.

EDIT: Fixed permanently. I just went into the CCC and changed the AA mode to Super Anti-Aliasing instead of Adaptive and now it works just fine. I don't think this will take any negative affects on my Source engine games as it was just the AA and AF settings that made them go bonkers and drop to like 20 fps, normally over 190.

Glad it worked, I don't really have any experience with ATI/AMD but let me know if everything is peachy on the source side.
