Every time I load up with the new patch, I get to 95% loaded and then everything crashes. I've tried using the DLLs from 4.07 and .08 and nothing.

If there is a solution posted to this problem somewhere, I've missed it.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm computer illiterate but what I have is a:

P 2Ghz
1Gb Ram
Radean X300 video card with 128DDR memory

Correct. I get the flickering textures on the water with both the reflections along the coastline and from the reflections of the ships. I'm using the 8800 GTS in SLI mode with the latest nVidia drivers.

I take it this is in the too hard basket....?

Well before you get your panties in a wad, what dll's are you trying? Be specific if you want timely help.

Anyone with ATI card and 7.12 drivers run into the problem with the water=1, =2? Texture corruption and flickering? Seem to be an issue with ATI1800/1900 series. At least for me. Tested on 1800XTX and 1900XTX, same result.. water surface on the distance looks like a bunch of stripes.. one normally textured, one kinda shiny... Went back to previous set of drivers 7.8 and issue went away....

Yes, I had the same issues with a x1950GT AGP: striped textures and bad performance. In my case the 7.11s are the best option.

Just a question: Do you have a small texture corruption on the cockpit frame in Fw 190 cockpit, when you look to the right side in the lower right corner of the screen? Even with the 7.7 Catalyst I have this issue, no matter if it is in perfect mode or not, although it doesnt happen with DirectX, only in OpenGL.

Thanks for feedback Chip. Guess it`s not just me :)

I`ll check 190 tonight when i get home.

Urufu,

I tried the DLL replacement download to no avail. Then I tried the Dlls from 4.07 again with no answer and the same result for the 4.08 Dlls

I had assumed seeing as the Dll downloads included 4 - 5 that I was to replace all of them, so that s what I did with the 4.08 and 4.07 change overs

Hmm, it seems that mg_snd_sse.dll is the one thats giving the issues. Was it CSThors's dll's that you used? Perhaps it only seems related, do you have any mods installed? Maybe try re doesnloading and reinstalling the patch, bad download?

Are these new .dll's different then those that came with the 4.09 Beta? If so, where can I get them? I've looked but haven't found a link.

The sim won't start with those in the 4.09 Beta. I know about using the .dlls from 4.08, but I thought if there were newer dll's I'd try those. Besides, if I start changing out .dll's, won't I be losing some of the 4.09 beta goodies?

Thanks
