Hello!
I'm new here an sorry for my english, i'm from Martinica (French West Indies)
I have noticed that many people experience graphic issue in Lock On, especially those who own an Nvidia based video card.
Personaly, i've two computer based on Nvidia card (one with an AGP 6800GT and the other with an AGP 6600GT, both system's CPU are Athlon 64 3400+)
I've got that kind of graphic "artifacts" (corrupted odd sky texture, corrupted info bar, bad shadow casts, etc.) in Lock On (ver 1.01, 1.02, 1.1 and 1.2). Indeed, I especially upgraded recently to Flaming Cliffs hopping that the problem would not occur anymore but I was wrong.
I know what you guy will tell me, but it's not a problem with the video card. Indeed, Lock on is the ONLY ONE game that give me that kind of issue. I can play hours and hours many games (Oblivion, Act of War, IL2 FB, PES 5, ...) with no problem at all.
My computers are VERY stable (good memory, good system files, no conflicts then no system failure at all)
The 6800GT fan is always on and the temperature do not exceed 65° C (that's far below the warning threshold).
I've already tried to reinstall Windows XP with SP1, with SP2, I've tried too different Forceware version (81.95, 91.28, 91.31, 91.33).
Note that the problem occur more often when High Settings are enabled and very often in A-10 and SU-33 missions.
I've heard that some codec pack may interfere with Lock On, I have Ace Codec pack on the other computer (6600GT) and no codec at all on the 6800GT computer: same problem.
Considering the number of complaints I reported on many forums, I can definetly say that Lock On needs special optimisation and tweak for some Nvidia cards.
But the question is... which and where? :noexpression:
Somebody have a suggestion about that? Am I wrong ?
Peace.
