Hey Guys,

Sorry for bringing up a dead thread but I recently discovered this sim and got it running with the Naval Warfare Simulations patch 10.43 on my Windows XP machine. The graphics work fine... Except for the sky textures, they are all messed up, and when you have text or your mouse cursor in the sky graphics it leaves psychdelic trails and whatnot, then after a few minutes my game bogs down and freezes up.

I've tried playing the vanilla game version 1.1 also and got the exact same problem, both with sky texture problems and the slowdown and eventual freeze up.

Below are my computer specs:

Windos XP Home Edition version 2002
Service Pack 2
Intel Core 2 CPU
6600 at 3.41 GHz 2 GB RAM
NVidia BFG 8800 Ultra OC running version 175.16
drivers
Direct X 9.0c

Now I've also tried using older video drivers for my card, the 163.xx and the game will run without crashing, but the sky textures and odd graphic artifacts are still there.

Anyone know of any way to help get me running with this sim? I'm wondering if it's a video card driver issue.

Thanks for any help!
