		+	In case anybody is using a laptop with built in Intel HD graphics you need to modify the properties of the atitd shortcut and add -noats to the target line (Thanks Pluribus). This will revert your terrain textures back to the old T1 visuals but at least they display correctly - Rhaom

	07/02/2016 - I had a problem where the egenisis.log filled my full Drive, but only on my laptop. I reset it, and started getting errors again. When I looked, they were the same as above. My grounds was all black and blocky. I did the fix, restarted the game, NO MORE errors, and it runs smooth now. There was no issue at all with my 2 desktops.---Viracocha		07/02/2016 - I had a problem where the egenisis.log filled my full Drive, but only on my laptop.

	02/18/17 - Windows 10 Laptop core i5 - I had the same problem above where the roads were rendering as big blue squares. The laptop has the two graphics processors: Intel and NVIDIA GTX950M. Driver 378.49. Force program to use NVIDIA GPU and there are all kinds of choices in the control panel. It would be helpful if you could tell us what the different graphics card settings should be set to - for example I turned Antialiasing FXAA to OFF and Anisotropic Filtering to OFF and now I can read the text again...which is good, but the game still does not have the beautiful graphics I have come to love. I can screenshot and send you the settings choices for the Control Panel...Also, whenever I click on the hollow box to expand the ATITD screen to fill my laptop screen? The program freezes and I have to do a hard restart of the computer.		02/18/17 - Windows 10 Laptop core i5 - I had the same problem above where the roads were rendering as big blue squares.

 The problem with it is. the game doesn't utilize the graphic card/s 100% and usually idles between 0 and 30%. On a laptop it is configured to run at maximum power savings. hints the blury textures, as it auto set texture to really low. You will have to configure your computer to run in high preformance mode and disable switching for the game. also try running the game in a diffrent mode. create a shortcut to your eclient.exe and put -d3d at the end. It is not that pretty and the light features do not work but it might help with loading everything up. Its the mode i used on my oldass laptop w/o a graphics card and played it flawlessly.
-I was able to fix this by going into the NVIDIA Control Panel, 3D settings and setting up an application profile for eclient.exe set to always use NVIDIA. See [http://www.howtogeek.com/175281/how-to-force-graphics-options-in-pc-games-with-nvidia-amd-or-intel-graphics/]

	User L Post as much information as you can. Its unlikely Pluribus will find time today, right before the start of T7, but you never know. It's worth posting. Plus there are quite a few system wizards here too.		User L Post as much information as you can. Its unlikely Pluribus will find time today, right before the start of T7, but you never know.
