I had that same problem when experementing with agp setings, make sure youe depth of request in agp settings is set to auto. Also make sure your moniter timing mode is on autodetect.

Found the bug, if you can turn off 32bit zbuf you should be fine. Will be fixed for the next patch.

Thanks... I turned off the buffer in the 30.82 driver program ,
It got alittle better (I got into the game at least) but the weird video flashing was still there ,along with mousetrails and video destortion .
