The NDIsles terrain is using the Pacific style terrain, thus the lack of Hedgerows.

Noir........ directions state don't play with the sliders!

Also...test full screen!  You have a windowed picture posted.

Hit ESC to go to full screen, and wait at least 10 seconds for an accurate FR display.

Same bug with sliders by default and in full screen.

Now I have a second HD2600XT in crossfire, and my FR got divided by 3  :huh

i guess this is another slap in the face from vista :uhoh
i miss xp
nvidia geforce8300 gs driver is up to date.

the geforce 8300 is a pretty low end card for recent games, vista or not. You won't be able to play in such a high resolution IMO.

It seems like the 8800GTX series gfx cards are owning the new textures.  :rock

Noir if running Crossfire make sure in settings you are in Standard Mode!

Also make sure ATI/Catalyst Control Center is not running or in task bar.

If it is booting up uncheck it using MSconfig in the start-up tab.

Restart with control center disabled or off.  Frame rates should be higher appreciably

I don't know about no standard mode, and running CCC does not explain why the FR got divided by 3, and even so its deactivated.

I'm running windows vista SP2

Noir I am running XPSP3.  That may be a difference.

If you do have catalyst/ATI control center I suggest you do this.

Go to Settings/Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced.  this should activate Control Center.

A drop down menu appears ....I'm using crossfired ATI 4850s.

the screen on the right should show a graphic of an auto driving on a road.

Underneath that graphic might be a slider or something that says Standard...(could be a slider or a chk box)

If you scroll down the menu on the left you will see the settings that you can adjust.

The last one in the Menu should be Crossfire.  When you select Crossfire you will see text that explains

that MAKE SURE when running Crosssfire you are in standard mode.

If you didn't find it at the first screen I described above click on the selections in the drop down menu

to the left.  You will find it.

Hope this helps

I don't have the standard option on the vista 8.11 catalyst panel. I do have a "balanced" option which is on. I still find odd that the crossfire is working in any game including AH2 and not that tester.
