I have an ATI 5770 and would crash on every ground mission (in OB) until I disabled 'Dynamic Lighting'. It fixed the problem for me and could perhaps be the source of your problems.
I have a ATI HD 4800 series. The first day of teh open Beta the game was amazing. Later that night they patched it and the graphics became unplayable. The only time I can see anything is if I stare at my feet. Later they patched again and rejoice it worked agan, but of course it was patched again and I am back to unplayable. Any thoughts?
if you still have 9.12, it had geomotry aptoin availible to check off, 10.1 doesnt, i went back but have to do a safe unistall and reinstall 9.12, this lets u use all the settings on high
Not at all. Still completely unplayable. I mean I played some with the horrific limited visibility I had, and then I realized it was stupid to be doing so.
I'm running a 4830 with crossfire. I have try changing all the setting in the game one at a time and still have this flashing problem it not just black it does multi colors depending on the room your in. I have update to the news driver still with the same problem. This game worked great during the open beta but now its unplayable. What changed from the beta????
Running a XFX 5870 here (single), not many problems. Tried the Catalyst 10.1 drivers, but I got the huge mouse cursor with it, so reverted back to 9.12 plus the Hotfix... worked fine in Beta, works fine for now.
I have a 5850 and crashed quite a few times on starbase 24's away mission, only seems to give me problems on away missions, strange, have tried both drivers, same difference.
Weird. I got two ATI HD5870 in crossfire and no issues here.
Same here. But I'm using older 9.11 drivers also. Game runs graphically beautiful. Smooth as butter in fact with 4xSSAA, 16xAF, Dynamic Lighting off, vsync on.

That's the same card I have, and I've been crashing too. Only on away missions, and SB24 is particularly bad.
Have you been crashing to desktop or to the Blue Screen?

Just the desktop with the little tell us about your problem box from cryptic... may have to tinker with the settings, although when you buy a meaty card it is very annoying turning graphics down.
Strange I'm running Win 7 64Bit as well, will have to see what happens with dynamic lighting turned off, what does V- synch actually do?
Vsync keeps your FPS from exceeding your refresh rate, thereby eliminating screen tearing. The only reason not to use vsync to begin with is for benchmarking. When gaming, vsync is always better then no vsync.

Might help.
lol i've a super pc, and for playing i need to transform into c64!
i try to disable DL and vsync... tomorrow! thanks :rolleyes:
Hoping to get some sort of reply at some point.
I'll try downgrading to 9.12
Let us know if that works
