Description
Since installing the 1.17 patch I the game has stopped displaying text in some places. When I try to start a new game, I get prompted with a dialog box that contains nothing, and I am then prompted to select which game/mod I wish to run. When I try to start a new game the 'racial points left' box in the empire creation screen is also blank. There are probably others, but since I can't start the game, I haven't gotten in to test every dialog. I have completely uninstalled, manually deleted the strategy first folder, and then reinstalled, and run the 1.17 patch. It still has the same problem.
System specs:
Geforce 7900GTX graphics card
AMD Athalon X2 4200+
2GB of ram
Sound Blaster Audigy
trying to run the game at 1200x960 resolution. (which worked, except for some combat instability, with version 1.13)

Added a screenshot of the racial abilities page.
found a workaround
my video card's anisotropic filtering had gotten switched from application controlled to 8xS. This appears to cause version 1.17, switching it back to application controlled fixed my text display issues. This issue can be closed as invalid.
