        Here are my screenshots of visual curruption with the G400.
        OC or no OC, still problems.
        oh, and I am using the 5.2X drivers and the latest BIOS.
        (btw, no TurboGL for this game?)

          Heheh, the purple hands image was funny! Hey, a Raven Software tech support guy replied to my thread on Raven Software's message board. He thinks it is a driver related problem.

          Dataorb: go post there too so we can fix this bug!

            The Problems I (and other G400 users) were having with Voyager elite force were posted on this forum:
            http://www2.ravensoft.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000060.html

            I REALLY did not like the support guy reply.

            "Groovy screen shots! i had heard of troubles but never saw purple hands b4. curious"

            Oh REALLY? I did not find it groovy.
            well, it's a really nice game, too bad to get it spoild like this...
            well, since it's less then 23 hours befor the demo was released, I should not complain... but... well, I goota! or they won't fix it in the "golden" version...

            please support me and other G400 users by posting in this thread.
            we NEED to show Raven software that the Matrox Community IS BIG, and that they SHOULD fix it...

              DataOrb: Did you have problems in Soldier of Fortune? I did until PD beta v6.0 drivers came out.

                well, I think I have isolated the problem.
                Turning the texture detail to "High" and not "Very High" has solved the problems...
                Now, Quake3 textures at "Very High" Have no problems, so perhpas the issue here is the extensive use of animated textures?
