Graphics errors - first scene

[efin]

So sorry that took me so long! Snowstorms and anniversaries took me by surprise. hehe

I figured out the culprit: the shaders. When I put them down to "Very Low," the problem goes away. Although you should have seen the wackiness that took place when I tried to turn off the noise filter. It seemed like every single texture on the screen wanted to turn in a different direction when I moved my mouse around. My first instinct was to say it's my card, but every other game (that Vista lets me play) looks fine.

I keep forgetting to mention - I need to kill the process from Task Manager every time I play, also. When I try to go back to the menu from within the game, Penumbra freezes every time.



EDIT - Wait a second... is this solely OpenGL? Have you guys tried that in Vista with ATi's stuff?
