While this is not my screenshot, I have the exact same error. It is either water onto land or sometimes land out into the water.
It has been with me since I bought the game and rather irritating. I also have the ATI three stripes as well.
Please can the developers check with AMD on a cure for this.
I play the latest games and my system has never ever given me an artifact.
This is definately linked either to the game engine or a driver issue. I am using the latest 11.5 drivers.
rest of my system specs are below in my sig.
Last error I noticed is in the black death track. it happens as all the hurricaines are destroyed by bombs. The distance view where you are looking past the lined up vehicles.
A plane crashes and a single plume of white smoke follows it to the ground.
That white streak of smoke can be seen at odd angles throughout the rest of the track.
I know the track is a composite and jumps back and forth through time like a yo-yo but everytime you see that streak of white smoke pointing into the sky it kills the emmersion.
The blackdeath track is a trademark of Maddox Games and i wish they had worked on it a bit more.
I am sure someone else here has raised the sound issues
Thanks for listening. Still a great game.
