Nvidia graphics issues

I remember reading about a fix for this a while ago but can't find it anywhere.

Using AA I get horrible shimmering of wires and bars etc along with black flashing artifacts on the horizon using the 16km mod. I was wondering if any of you had the fix memorized? I'm planning on installing 2.1 tomorrow and want everything perfect first time

Flashing artifacts on horizon were fixed with GWX2.1 (IMHO)

Thats good news. But I believe the issue with shimmering (which makes the game damned right ugly especially at night) is a driver bug. I can't find the fix though

The shimmering issue is a prob with the "Acht Acht"

...sry, the 8800GTS series...I believe so. You´re right, there once was a patch outside somewhere, but I can´t remember where, sry

The solution for the artifact-problem is described in the GWX manual I think.

Edit : did you spent a little time in your driver configuration menu and test a little bit ? Maybe the solution is hiding there.......:hmm:
