I can see what you mean now, and it's definitely bizarre.

Firstly, could you tell me which Nvidia drivers you are currently using?

Secondly, could you tell me what the graphics card performance/quality options are set at? You can find this by hitting advanced from the display properties in control panel.

Also, do you have "enable post-processing effects" ticked in the game options? If so, have you tried disabling it to see if it helps?

I noticed this sort of problem in another game i Play. Although, this only occured when looking through a Telescopic Scope on the rifle in certain locations where the colours were completely different or there was mist about.

It was noted by others in the game to be a problem with the drivers so as Discordia says, check the drivers and setups.

Maybe try setting the drivers to default settings and see what happens then?

Sometimes i also find if i have problems with my machine, i always set everything back to default. It's long winded, but more often than not it resolves issues, then start turning on options as i play and test. I eventually find the problem. Then i report it. This helps the Game Devs and other players too.

Oh, just wanted to add. Do you get any problems with any other games??

Did you see this on the Guild Wars site? Maybe it's related...or not.

Neither do I...no offense but I don't think these instructions are correct.

I am having the exact same problem.

If you're using Forceware drivers you definitely should be seeing that tab. That's very odd.

Dan Mega · Jun 12, 2005, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Ok, my problem was that I didn't have the latest drivers. I just slapped myself on the head.

Once you download the latest drivers, and then follow the instructions above, everything will show up properly.

Thanks folks!
