Next Rev of Drivers Won't Fix FS2k2 Text Problems

[pgde]

For those of you into FS2k2, thought you all might like to know that the next rev of drivers won't fix the corrupted text problem

Apparently there is something wrong between FAA and FS2k2. See the following thread: Matrox Gaming Forum

What a bummer. Perhaps FS2k4 will be out before they fix the problem.....

No drivers will ever fix the problem.
It's a hardware bug with FAA on the current Parhelia chips.

Thanks for the bad news I wish Matrox had been more forthcoming with this issue since I have been bugging them almost since release of the Parhelia (which replaced my G400MAX). They have been quite evasive on this subject. FS2k2 is about the only game I play, don't use triple (or double for that matter) head, and on my PIII933 FS2k2 doesn't perform $400 better. It is somewhat faster, but not that much. I would have returned the card if I had known this.
