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

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...

I just found the Similar sky problem in the SH3/SH4 settings for Nvidia cards thread - its a sticky. Have a look there

Thanks everyone for the help! I had changed some settings with nhancer as recommended in the first post of that thread. But I had made those changes before I started my last career and successfully completed two war patrols without any problems, so I'm not sure as to why there'd be a problem now. I made the change in the compatablility tab from "ea games compatable" to "general compatability" and this seems to have fixed the problem. I again thank everyone who replied for the help! Now it's time to get back to sinking some shipping!
