<div class="IPBDescription">Dark models</div>Well guys, first here's an overview of the system I am using. Q9300 quad core with 4 gigs ram and an ATI 4870X2 2 gig graphics card on Vista 32 bit. I have been able to run the game since the first alpha release, however with build 159 it has become unplayable for me. When I load the game, everything is dark. All models are dark and see through and the only lighted parts are highlights on the marines armor and displays on environmental models. This is in the ready room, load screen and in game. Walls and objects and skulks and marines are dark and see through. I can make out the outlines against backgrounds and due to highlights on the models that still are visibly lit but it is virtually unplayable for me now. Thought I'd let you know as it may be related to my graphic drivers which are up to date. Hope you address this in the next build so I can resume testing and playing. It's coming along great and looks like it will be an awesome game. Keep up the good work.

    Ahh, thank you. That was the problem. I was forcing anti-aliasing on my card and when I returned to app settings, it is fine now. Thanks for the heads up. :)

    The other problem you have is a 32bit OS, which can only allocate a total 4GB memory, and that includes the video card memory.
    Consider to change it to a 64bit OS (your GPU is for that) so it can handle more memory.
    Right now you have 2Gb outside of that range.
