[.803][Beta/2A][Graphics issue][Anti-Alias any version, leaves screen white]

Game stopping issue.

from Elemental Forums

I for some reason thought I had already reported this, back in Beta 2. But I can't find a post to indicate it.

When I have anti-alias of any level turned on. The world goes all white, and completely becomes unplayable. It has to be disabled in order for me to even see the world, or anything on it. That includes the cloth map as well.

Video card: GeForce 8800 GTS 

Drivers: 257.17 WHQL - 6/15/2010

I'm just reporting it, though I wouldn't be surprised if others have the issue too, and this was already reported.

Similar here except I can only view the cloth map. Have you tried zooming out to see the cloth map?

In all versions prior to .803 turning AA off would allow viewing the graphical map.

Last time I think that completely removing and installing Elemental was necessary.

I am about to try that now.

 

EDIT: Re-install did not help, running in windowed mode did not help, disabling all options in video settings did not help.

I guess I will have to try again with Beta 2B.

I was really looking forward to this build.
