    I'm using EVGA's GF6800 Ultra PCIe card and official 71.89 drivers, no problems. I have heard that later drivers do cause problems and not just with Pacific Fighters, so I am staying with the 71.89 for now. From what I have heard, the later drivers are aimed at SLI rigs, unfortunately as NVIDIA irons out the SLI problems more single card issues have appeared.

    I too am hoping that this will be corrected. Iuse te 67 series drivers and since I only run FB... the rest of my computer stuff is apps... it isnt a problem. It is a drag though. The missing panels on the B-17s and P-47s... and Spits.... and you are right it didnt start till 4.01. I am moving this to the tech forum.

    I don't want to have to remove my 9600 from my old comp to be able to play this game.

    Good luck getting an AGP card in your PCI-Express slot

    Seriously now, this is a widely reported issue. Us 7800 owners can only run in excellent as previous drivers that do not introduce this do not support our cards.

    Thanks for the heads up on 1C being aware Hunter, that should help focus nVidia on the issue.

    Lol, good catch on the PCI/AGP thing...yeah, it's only the "inviso panels" errors, like the G4M looks like it should be a Huey with the door gunners being out in the open, haha. I've found the force shaders 1x fix and am currently using that, aside from that nothing else.

    One question though, can you get water=3 running under Direct X? I'm thinking not. Oh yeah, and sorry for picking the wrong forum to post it, kind of slipped my mind about sticking it here instead of a general board .

    BTW, you can run BF2 allright with 69 or 72 series drivers, as long as you turn dynamic shadows off (also gives you a big boost in FPS).

    like i said thay work fine for me.

    Can you now confirm you are using 77.xx drivers, or are you on 71.89?

    So now we have come to the conclusion that the glitches are missing parts and textures on models. For me, these parts re-appear if you turn on the Navigation lights. They reappear and dissapear at different conditions.

    Is this Really a driver problem regarding the 77 series?

    I'm skeptic about that because it never happened UNTIL the 4.01 patch. The patch didnt impliment any new tweaks or features to the graphic engine itself.

    One of the points of having such a high end video card is to play With perfect settings, water at 3, ect ect. Would be a shame to turn them down just for this bug.
