You mean something like this?

I get it sometimes as well, I just click enable w-buffer and then disable w-buffer and it goes away, or if you run the game with w-buffer enabled just do the opposite smile.gif

All people are achieving by hitting W-Buffer etc. is to reset the video driver or video init code within the game.

The problem occurs when the game is run with the same display settings as your windows desktop.

The bug is either with Nvidia 23.11 drivers or OFP, but I believe other people are seeing this in other games as well, so it appears to be the latest video drivers, not the game.

a quick way to get rid of it is just to alt-tab out of the game and then alt-tab back in again

Apologies for seeming to contradict you needlessly, but just for the record I run Opf at 1024x768@32, and run windows at 800x600 and I have a Kyro2 not an Nvidia card smile.gif

Since I installed XP I've been getting the same thing. I have Radeon 8500. It seems to only come if I make some other window active while OFP is loading. Alt+Tab does the trick for me.

If you're running WinXP, and have turned on cursor (icon) shadow, turn it off - that should help.

Placebo, you're not contradicting at all, where trying to problem solve here and now it appears it's not nVidia, but perhaps Window XP instead. Perhaps Bassemoluff has the answer, turning off cursor shadow? I'll be trying this tonight.

I just checked, but as I thought I have all options such as "cursor (icon) shadow" disabled (I'm one of those geeks who likes to get every last ounce of performance out of his puter wink.gif)

As far as I remember this double cursor thing has only been reported by people with 2k or XP, although if memory serves correctly Wobble went back to 98 a while ago?
