Verm, the black water is normal for me. Even in the existing terrain, and the BETA terrain, the water is black. How you got blue water for the help file shots is beyond me. I can't run AH in 32-bit mode, I get a blue-screen. Alt-F4 is the only way to get out of it. Doesn't change with resolution either. I cranked AH up to 1280x1024 with no change in water color.

Yes I did change my desktop rez to match AH rez, with no results either.
