Something has gone horribly wrong with my game (but now it's fixed!)

Ok so tonight I load up my saved game to continue my career. I haven't changed a thing since the last time I played (about a week ago). Once the game finally loads I discover that the interior of the sub has completely changed. The instruments such as depth, batteries, fuel, etc are gone and everything just looks "weird." I tried taking all the mods out and still everything is messed up. I go to quick missions and war patrols trying different ones each time, and it is still messed up. So I finally decide to re-install the game, and again everything is messed up no matter what boat, condition, etc. I have truly exhausted everything I know how to look for so I ask this wonderful community to try and determine what the problem is so I can get back out on the seas and take down some convoys! Here are a couple screenies of the situation. Also note the weird lines in the sky on the external view. I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

You say you stopped using the game, then tried again later... then this wierd display.

After a re-install (clean 1.4 patch) does it looks like this even when you start a new career? (Instead of loading your old game)

Yes it looks like this no matter what I do. Whether it be a quick mission/war patrol/career.

You haven't downloaded new vid card drivers or changed any of the anti-aliasing settings with something like nHancer by any chance?

I've got an Nvidia card (7900GS) and when I started screwing around nHancer and the AA settings, I got *exactly* the same thing. Had to tweak the settings and it went back to glorious old SH4 + ROW!!!

I'm almost certain you'll find it's video card settings related.

It's likely to be related to your grahics card, not SH4 itself.

Yup...try other games that are demanding. These kinds of graphicsproblems are mostlikely related to graphicscard breakdown or overheating. Check your fan for dust etc...
