    Has anyone else had this problem? I just got a Geforce 6800LE and with settings to PERFECT and WATER=3 this is what I get:




    Framerate is smooth, clouds look great, but no funky water...

    That happened to me when I tried to run the game in Direct3D, was just curious and that was what I got so I switched back to openGL.

    Since a couple of weeks I do own a 6800gt.
    I had also black water and I couldn`t solve
    this untill someone of my teammates mailed me
    his config. That solved the problem.

    The thing I can do for you is posting the complete config file.
    So you have to copy u/m details in an empty config file and save it in your pf folder.
