Aha again!

I tried the most undoable thing, which was the anti-aliasing option. See the attached screen shot.

When I had the problem, the setting was set to "Use my preference emphasizing:" and the slider was all the way over to 'Quality'.

Then I ticked "Let the 3d application decide", restarted MoI and the problem was gone.

I did this a few times and yes, it is definately a factor with the issue at hand.

I know that I set it to 'Quality' myself a few months or more ago. I cant remember what app it was changed for though... I dont care anyway.

I will update the driver when you reply back, but I'll leave it on there for right now in case you have any other questions. KWIM? :-)

And here i always ignore video card type threads on any forum because those are for fools with outdated systems. D'ohhhhh! :-P

Hi Nick, that's great news!

Basically, what happens is there are a few times that Nvidia have had a bug in their drivers where they don't listen to MoI's request to disable anti-aliasing at certain times.

For the normal display anti-aliasing is not a problem, but MoI also uses the video card for some selection and visibility related calculations, and anti-aliasing in those particular calculations throws a monkey wrench in there.

You may find that if you update your video driver that you can then have the anti-aliasing setting and also MoI working properly at the same time. But it is not really necessary to do that since you have a solution.

Also even with your current driver version you can leave anti-aliasing turned on for everything, and then go to the "Manage 3D settings" entry on that NVidia control panel and there you can adjust the driver settings for individual programs and turn it off only for MoI there.
