Lynx: On every nvidia card I've used in this game, there is "sawing" where the texture saws into the terrain behind it. I'm guessing this fixes it for hangars at least.

As far as I understand, that's related to z-buffer issues.

That does explain it. I think I know what it describes, I get it in-game.

A fix is a nice surprise :)

Does this also cause the saw-tooth textures that pop up on objects-vs-ground display?

I always wondered what that was... I've seen that in a lot of games.

Z-fighting model is BS.

If this were a realistic sim, when 2 Z's try to use the same 3D space, BOTH would blow up!!

That's actually an awesome fix - I've had that issue for a long, long time over the course of both an ATI Radeon 9600 and x800 vid card.  Shore batteries, hangars, and other random objects would seem 'pinstriped' and wonky.  Looks good now. :)

The removal of that old "flashing bug" is highly welcome with me. Bases now do actualy flash when already under attack while you entering an arena. The secret gv base grabbers in underpopulated EW arena will hate it for sure.  :aok

Love the update. Just 1 question. I am running the Hi res pack and now I seem to have some graphic lag. What is the best way to fix this? Also are there plans to perk the Wirblewind? I ain't gonna run an osti anymore unless the wirbl. is perked.
