I know this has been an ongoing issue and i have seen a thread on it every now and again but with the settings reset i noticed it again and wanted to bring it up.
what is occurring is that whenever i turn on the advanced lighting checkbox in options my sov and troop character windows have a haze that causes them to look distorted. this only occurs in these windows and the other parts of the game display fine.
i have an Nvidia geforce 8800 gt.
in the past when i first noticed this i have tried to update my vid drivers but this didnt help.
without advanced lighting
