Crazy 160 visual bug

<div class="IPBDescription">all textures in-game = transparent</div>I'm not 100% sure if I played build 159 or not, but 160 has a crazy visual error going on for me. All maps and textures are almost entirely transparent, and I can only clearly make out textures that give off light. This gives me a spectacular view of the skybox (or lack thereof on the title screen), but makes playing a little hard.

I can't tell if everything is transparent or if it's actually the skybox itself deciding to jump in front of everything, but I'll leave that up to the bug-squashers.

specs:

Radeon HD 4800 series
Intel i7 CPU
6 GB RAM
Vista 64-bit

Let me know if you need more info.

    I would say that's most likely caused by you having MSAA enabled in your graphics card control panel. What you're seeing is only the self illumination surfaces.

    Sure enough, that was it. I don't remember ever changing the control panel to force AA on, but fixing that fixed the problem. Thanks, Max :)

    edit:
    Come to think of it, I DID update the drivers recently, so maybe it defaulted to "on." Funky.
