ive been experiencing the garbled console text and blurry menu text from the beggining. ive tried different detonator drivers and nothing fixed it. ive read alot of threads about this, and the answer was to change your "mipmap settings" to "blend" in your driver tab. well no matter what drivers i used, i could never get that option. there was a mipmap setting slider bar and the options were none, bilinear, trilinear. i tried all 3 settings and neither fixed the problem. im possitve that its a directx problem and not my video card or drivers because if i ran the game in opengl, the menu text and console text was clear but the game ran alot slower. well ive done some research and i fixed my problem. so all of you that dont have the mipmap setting bar in your driver settings tab, do this.
go to http://download.guru3d.com/nvhardpage/
download and run the nVHardPage utility. go to the "direct3d" option. and here you can do one of 2 things. either "disable" "user mipmaps" OR leave "user mipmaps" "enabled" and set the "mipmap detail" to "high". either one will fix your blurry text issue. as far as the other settings, im not going to elaborate on them as theyre not relevant. if you want to mess with them, go ahead, but do so at youre own risk.
take care.
