I believe the white boxes are just graphics glitches in the game as I see them as well,,and I dont think there is anything that can be done about them.

And you cannot use your electric motors while on the surface.

I've never seen those in my game.

What graphics adapter are those of you experiencing this using?

I'm using ATI Radeon 9600Pro with Omega drivers but I've never cared about this boxes.

I think it is an ATI glitch - I have them on my X800XT with CAT 5.6. They were also present on older drivers. In fact, I was thinking about trying Omega's drivers - too bad they don't cure that problem.

I know them too, Ati X800XL here, but since the last driver update (5.7) i don´t see them very often any more.
Sometimes they appear in bad weather with huge waves...

I've seen the same grafix glitch using nvidia geforce 6800gt 256mb with a fairly up to date driver setup. Didn't seem to be there permanently though

I see them as well with my Radeon RX700-Pro for a while now. I have the 5.7 drivers.

Whichever video card you have, you will occasionally see those errors. It's really a programming issue rather than a display issue. High end cards in conjunction with powerful PCs should hardly ever see them.

I see these sometimes as well (ATI X800Pro).

It looks like they only appear when the sub changes speed often, like in heavy seas. Like the wakes are different for different speed ranges, and when the sub 'balances' between two certain ranges, these appear.

But this is just a guess. I have no idea what causes them.

Aha... different textures for different speeds overlaid on the waves. Makes sense.

That is my thought as well.

Yes, I have seen them as well but mostly in stormy high seas. I am using a nvidia 6800 gt with fairly up to date drivers. Calm seas do not seem to bring on this glitch as much.
