really bad dithering....

Is SHIV rendered in 32bits? because the sky suffers from bad color dithering at sunrise and sunset, looks like in 16 bits or something, which reminds me of a similar problem in Operation Flashpoint that also caused flashing textures to occur here and there, which is exactly what happens with some ships. When you set OF to render in 32 bits (in the config menu), the dithering & flashing textures were gone.

KV - what graphics card are you using? What graphical settings? I have yet to see this on either of the machines I have played SH4 on... Anytime there is a graphics oddity - always check to verify your running fairly current vid card drivers and such. Post some details and we will all try to help if we can.

Im using 6600 gt 128mb, color depth set to 32bits, and a 19" widescreen. perhaps the color rendering for this tipe of monitor is not good enough?

i have a 7300 and the color transitions in really suck i get all these square and geometrical shapes instead of a soft color transition from bright to dark ...

thats what im getting too. the odd thing is that I don´t see such thing in other games....

i have a 7300 gt 512mb its not a really good card but its not that bad also
so i guess its game related , i have seen the same in some screenshots
in my opinion SH3 is better in this

i also notices this uzing the binoculars or the uzo in the horizon line
