I concur with SubSuck. I've had the problem in stock (all three patches), with any mod you want to name and with two vastly different video cards (ati 9600 pro 256MB and EVGA 7800GS 512MB both with at least 3 different sets of drivers). While a part of my problem may be my outdated system (AMD xp3200+ 32 bit socket A, 400MHz fsb and 1 gig memory) I think the problem is game related and may not be noticed by folks with higher end systems. I also experience frame rate twitches at times and times when every so often the sea goes blank for a split second. I recall reading somewhere in a thread ages ago (at least a month LOL) that this was a game rendering problem. Both of these problems come and go with no apparent rhyme or reason making it very difficult to troubleshoot and hard to blame on anything except some inherent game/operating system/karma incompatibilities.
P.S. I've turned off my virus checker, firewall and all unneccessary services and applications and keep my auto update and background intelligent transfer service off except on "patch tuesday" and still experience the same problems.
