Dangerous Waters actually FIXED my video card. Weirdest thing I've ever seen and I still can't explain it fully.

I've got a bum 9800pro that went bad about a year ago when it started blurring the screen colors. I switched it out for another 9800Pro, but that too went bad about a month ago (those 9800 are terribly unreliable), so while I got a new one I plugged the old card back in.

So for about 3 weeks I was computing with a terribly blurrly color smeared card, and was not playing DW at the time (took a break from playing the game). Lo and behold I boot up DW one day and miraculously, the blurrieness that had been there for the last 3 weeks, persisting thru all applications, internet, email, MS software, etc suddenly and instantly disappears whenever I boot the game! :|\ :hmm: .

Best thing is, that the color blurring has never come back after than initial DW bootup Its so weird I'm not even going to open my tower to look at the card. SCS such put this on the lable as an advertisement. "Our game can cure bad graphics cards! Magical programming" :|\ :P
