I have a Geforce 6600 card , winXP pro , Latest Direct X & Video drivers , 1 gig ram , P4 2.4gig

any help appricated

Interesting....plz define what "least" driver version it is, 84.21?

Maybe some tries on the graka settings could help...what are your FSAA, AA, color deph settings?

[Lukain]

Yes 84.21_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe downloaded it for nvidia yesterday

Antialiasing is set to Application controlled , Color depth have tried 16bit & 32bit

Try setting anti-alias and anisotropic to off.

Have you overclocked your graphics card?

[Lukain]

I didnt Overclock , I tried turning of anti-alias but still had same problem . will try turning of anisotropic as well & see how I go .


Ok I removed all my grafix drivers & re-installed an older set "81.98_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe" & uninstalled the Map pack 3.2 , so far after 45 min play everything is running fine X fingers

After 90 Min play and no problems I decided to re-install Map Pack 3.2 as soon as I did It screwed up the graphics again so its the Map pack causing the error..

You know, I had the same graphics problems (from your screenshots it looks like an identical problem) in Dark Age of Camelot about 4 years ago. The bugs were most likely to happen in certain parts of the world, and restarting the game fixed the problem, until it happened the next time.

(I was running a Geforce 3 card with the latest (at the time) drivers.)

Eventually the developers of the game just patched the game and it never happened again. I don't know if I would blame the map-pack buddy.
