Part of the background becomes transparent (bug or feature ?)Tristan10711/11/2008 - 09:44

This is too bad, because the game is fully playable elsewhere. On several levels and maps, part of the background becomes transparent (disappear, as a matter of fact) depending on where the cursor is, and how the screen is scrolled :

(The screen captures are done in Windows Mode, but the bug occurs in full screen mode, too).

Half factory :


Factory is back :


No more Factory :


I'm using the last version of the game (1.20) and this is my config, taken from DxDiag, which is quiet standard I think (I have the latest driver for my Card) :

Am I the only one to see the game like this ?

This is a video card issue, I'm almost certain. Does anyone else have a RADEON 9100 with this problem?
