It looks to me like a video card problem. Try switching to another video
card if you can.

uh no i just spent 100 dollars on this card i dont think i'm going to
"switch"

Card works perfectly with everything, that's the only error i've experienced

Odd Discovery:
It only happens in Direct 3d 8

it's normal in direct 3d 7, open gl, and software render.

same here, bug with 8.1

Yea, heh, don't switch vid cards, One because the only thing better then a
GeForce 4 MX for 3D games is the GeForce 4 Ti 4600, and Two because DirectX
8 on AW is just REALLY buggy, I've gotten bizzare things with it too.

I didn't say switch the video cards permanently. I just said put in another
video card to test it. If it's the same effect, it's a video card's
problem. Since I don't experience it, the only thing it _can_ be is a video
card problem. There's nothing the programmers can do short of springing up
money to buy you all new cards.

I tried switching between a riva tnt2, works normal on the riva, but i've
also had many people tgram me and say they experience the same problem, when
i ask them what video cards they have it's always GeForce 4 ranging from MX
to Ti heh

It's got to be the way they implement DirectX 8.1. Perhaps the older
drivers aren't as supportive of it, most likely not all of you have upgraded
to the new ones that do support DX8.
