I have a 7900 GTX , win XP and no such issues in 1.2.

However, I see you just installed Vista, new driver issue maybe? :hmm:

6800GT here, 2X AA (if that matters).

Same thing has happened 2-3 times. Just a simple restart of the game has fixed it.

Confirmed!
I've reinstalled the game and patched direct to 1.2 Problem still occurs sometimes. I've deleted no-cd exe and return to orginal exe. All issues disapear! The same map issue, issue that i cannot fire torpedos sometimes and flat characters with big "voodoo" eyes So do not use nocd exe, or at least u may want to check some newer one.

I believe there finally should be made a sticky. One-liner in the header:

"Don't use a no-DVD exe or the copy protection will corrupt your game"

Would cut down on like 50% of the "bug" reports with newer members joining the SHIV forum every other day who might not yet be aware of this.
