I must admit im not really lookin for tech support on this, but if any1 knows anything other than install latest drivers and buy new grfx card then dont be shy :cheers:

The rest of ya, just take a butchers at this. I have seen a whole thread recently were Punk Buster took SS of a player on JO who was using a now well know JO hack to get this effect. The guy claimed it was a grfx card problem. Well i just installed windows XP, and tried all the latest drivers and got this when i play.

Yep, every other guy is lit up like oxford street at Xmas. That is the same for the opponents. So on dark maps (dark Insanity for example) every other enemy is lit up. BTW i will not be playing until i sort this out. But any help would be appreciated.

I think it maybe just drivers, try rolling the drivers back and gradually installing drivers in date order starting with the older ones first, also make sure Diirectx is up to date.

I see that is in bhd rather than JO ... does the same thing happen in JO? That information isn't gonna help me to offer a solution cos I haven't any idea, but it might give someone else a clue.

btw - wtf is the guy behind the pillar doing? Can't decide if he's dancing, dying, or pissing against the pillar doggy style.

Looks as if he's using the old "Tom & Jerry tiptoe sneak technique" to me.

I agree with what Poo says (obviously without the rollback bit...seeing as he's just reformatted all he's gonna roll back to is VGA...lol)

I NEVER update my graphics card drivers once I have found a set that works to my own personal satisfaction...often updating the drivers cause more hassle than its worth...at the moment I am using Forceware 56.72 drivers and they run well on my measly system but look like crap on my newer one.

Tried pretty much everything, from old grfx drivers to all the directx from 8.1 upwards, same problem. So i reformatted back to my old windows app :cry: . And promised my tight arse would spend a bit a cash and get a whole new pc in the next couple a months :cheers:

So again, thanks for all the help
