oho

and all (ALL!) reported problems I read in this forum are gone (patch 1.05): and I had them all, I think: white/black/coloured flickering, strange artifacts, crash to desktop when receiving, ctd without receiving-screen, bsod, stuttering until not playable, bad performance. All is gone (played around 1 hour) with WinXP. No performance problems, not stutter until now with maximum settings at 2000m vis. I have an amd quad 3400 and a geforce GTX260. This is hopefully my last visit in the troubleshooting forum :D

I solved this problem for me: I have a GTX260 with 865 MB RAM. When I put the Video-Memory to "High" (before I used very high or default) I never ever (starting from the same save game) got the grafical anomalies again. Still it has stutters and sometimes ctds so I won't play it anymore till the next patch comes out - but the strange triangles and squares are definitely gone.

that's really annoying. Any solution for that?
