Minor graphics glitch - Any Ideas?

Just to clarify. The reflection moves left and right and blinks as I pan.

To me, your example images looks quite normal.

My OLC Gold images:

Do you see any unusual things here?

Cant really see any defects in your screenies. The shore reflections actually wander left and right on my screen by several degrees as I pan across the scene. Im trying a few different drivers atm, see if that fixes it.

The strange white darting items you see running across the sea
Just under the horizon are normal they sometimes happen in my
Own mods as well.
If you look at the ocean around your sub you should be able to see white foam showing sometimes on the waves ….when this happens far away from the sub it sometimes shows when looking at certain angles like what you are seeing near to the horizon.
The second problem of the reflections is stranger ..but if you think about the amount of graphical information being processed in the screen shot you are showing especially with the flags showing as well it maybe making your graphics card lag slightly.
I remember not so long ago I brought a new graphics card thinking it would improve the performance of the game ..it didn’t the screen stuttered and all kinds of problems happened.
I cured that by throwing that card in the bin and going out and buying 4Gb of ram and a Geforce 9800Gt card that sorted that

Edit i do see somthing strange the the second set of pictures ...the last time i went there Southampton was spelt like this not Shouthampton

Yes you can try to rollback at device manager and search for correct drivers. However, sometimes a "new" driver is not better then the "old" one.

Give it at try ... experiment with drivers!

@ SeaWolf: Sorry for my incorrect English language and grammar. I understand it must be: Southampton.

Edit: I suppose my English is better then your Dutch!

Und Deutsch ist auch kein Problem. Ou la langue française... Italiano etcetera!

That's why I play SH3 in German. I can understand it.

Take care mate

Unfortunately different drivers havent solved the problem

. Thanks everyone for trying to help out. Its probably just a problem with OLC on my gfx card. OLC has a great environment but i think ill try some other environment mods. Anyone got a recommendation for a 16km environment mod (GWX3 compat)?
