Falcon 4.0 Allied Force Graphic Issues with Clouds
 

Quick question...can't really find answer on any forums out there. Has anyone come accross graphical issues with the clouds in Falcon 4.0: Allied Force? I keep seeing glitches and artifacting anytime I enter 3-D environment and look at or fly anywhere near the 3-D rendered clouds. I'm not sure what is causing this. If I look away from the clouds the graphics are fine. These distortions only appear near, around, or as I fly through the clouds.

I am running the game on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit. I am currently using the latest 195.62 display driver from Nvidia (9800GTX). I am using the latest 1.0.13 patch released by Lead Persuit. I am using 2 x 9800GTX cards with SLI enabled. This is the only game I have graphical distortions and it only appears around the clouds.

Below are some of the screenshots of the artifacting I am seeing:

Thats is 100 percent driver related.

Yes. I have experienced similar glitches and corruption specially running OF4.5 - OF4.7 with ATO Radeon chipset, but not to this extent.

I tend to agree with Richard. I tried uninstalling driver, removing all traces in Safe Mode with relevant utility (ATI/nVidia), reinstalling updated drivers then update (reinstall) DX9.c (or DX10) for good measure. Not sure if Falcon uses DX9 but I did just incase there were other driver-realted issues.
