My GFX card is doing alright actually.
The only thing I have changed since the last time I remember S3D working was adding another gig of RAM to my PC.
I have 4 dual-channel slots, I used to have 2 matching 1 GB in one pair, and a pair of matching 512's in the other.
Now I have 4 all around matching 1 GB chips in all 4 slots.
I'll run a 3d benchmark through DXDIAG, see if somethings up there.
I'm running an ASUS (ATI) HD3450 with 512 VRAM, AGP
EDIT:
ROTFLMAO!
I digress Skwas, it seems its not a problem at all...I have a free download manager, whose "quick download" box sits on the 3d viewer screen. I closed out of the FDM, and lo and behold the view works again!
another edit. its not over yet. Hang on, i got an unhandled exception error, I'll send you a PM with the error report.
so far it's only happened with the king George V class we are working on for the Surface Warfare mod, other ships haven't given me any trouble yet
