I believe the 9250 is a directx8 card thats the problem

So its live with it - as I do - or upgrade I'm afraid

If you have some pocket change, check out the Nvidia cards. They have some darn good ones at darn good prices. I have a 6200 256mb OC(overclocked) sure it is not the Masserati of Nvidia cards but it plays the game very well and I got it for $60.00. If I'm not mistaken this game was designed using the Nvidia cards as the platform for graphics.

The less I say the better !!...I'm running with an ATI Radeon 6250SE and it's working fine (touching wood/scratching my head)

I run with the 9250 as well. I started a thread on this a while back and researched it very extinsively, it is a problem with the video device you would be better off upgrading your card, there are threads on here that explain which cards are the best to use.
I still run with the 9250 although I just underclocked it a bit with an ATITool.

I still get the black iceburgs but very tiny hardly noticeable, that I can live with until I can upgrade.

ATI will soon release a monster that should rival the Geforce 8800 , go get that one and tell me how the game feels m8

I have the same issues with my ATI Radion 9250 SE - I thinks its about time I upgraded the card anyway and this gives me the perfect justification to the wife to do so

I've tried the default windows driver, the old version that came with the card, and the latest version from the ATI website and there is no improvement.
