WinXP Graphics Corruption Solved...

[Skiiwa]

Major Graphics issues with my GTX 460SE and what I did to solve it.
I went back to my Old GTX260. Installed 197.45 and game worked great....Very smooth over water.
So I decided to do a few experiments. I installed the 266.58 drivers and the graphics were still ok. The GTX 460 can use those drivers to, so I pulled my 260 out, installed the 460, and I had Flashing corrupt textures from hell! NOTHIN I do with that 460 changed the graphics problem.
I tried a LOT of stuff including the beta drivers. Im running the Russian version with the updated maddox.dll so everything is in english. Game runs fine over regular land and Awsome over water. When trying to load london it either sticks on loading or crashes.

Erm, this doesn't make sense.

Are you saying you "solved" the GTX460 graphic issues, by replacing it with another card?

That's not solving it.

Shame, was hopeful for my friend who has issues graphically; and has the same card.

There does seem to be an issue with the 460.

That's exactly what I am say, and it is a shame! I was having problems with 2 other games. Two worlds 2, and Stalker COP. Stalker was a rainbow fest and two worls shaders were just crazy.

There does seem to be a major problem with the 460.

I'm hopeing its just a driver issue and is solved with a driver update. (Beta 270 driver doesn't work.)

As for it not being a solution....I'm playing the game now.....problem solved....
