Got patched up without any trouble.
Turned vsync on and was still getting tearing, even though I'd lost approximately 12fps on average, using the Black Death benchmark track.
Even worse, started getting major image corruption in-game, with thick lines of bare terrain showing through the ocean, and similar parallel strips of bare green showing through on land. (I see 'Reflected' has posted a picture of something similar.) Turned v-sync back off and was still getting the corrupted image in-game, even after restarting.
Saw no difference in anti-aliasing either, whether it was on 8 or turned off, and changing it had no impact on the graphical corruption either.
The only video settings I changed were 'V-sync' and, later, 'Anti-aliasing', everything else was left turned on and maxed out as before. I only noticed the graphics corruption after turning v-sync on and restarting the game, but it might have been there from the start.
Reverted to the prior version of the game (1.00.14101) and the graphical corruption was gone.
Didn't re-enable Windows Aero, will try that and see how it goes...
No luck, re-installed the patch, played the Black Death track again and still got the big lines of bare earth showing in the water, with no adjustments made to the video settings, ie. no v-sync enabled and no restart required. Also got a crash to desktop when the Black Death track finished and tried to go back to the player menu screen.
Cleared 'Cache' in 1C SoftClub section, no difference.
Makes me wonder if I should do a back-up now in case these graphical anomalies are still there with the official version of the patch.
