Hi,
    I upgraded to an ATI all in wonder radeon 9800 and ive just gone back to
one of my old favourite games unreal, (the original unreal), i had to change
the dispaly device to direct3d and it works fine in windowed mode but when i
switch to ful screen it looks awefull, as if its in 16 colour mode the
dithering and lack of colours is so obvious especialy on castle walls etc.

i tried changing every setting available but no diference although
increasing anti aliasing makes it look better its stil obviously only using
a few colours. ive got latest drivers etc.

i tried unreal tournament and this was the same until i changed from 16 bit
to 32 bit resolution and this solved the problem but there doesnt seem to be
a colour depth setting for unreal, has anyone come acros this or any ideas
how to make it better ?
