I can't seem to fix this. Happens on both my computer and my brother's. After playing a game for about 20-30minutes, all of the sudden we will have these glitches where the entire screen minus a few of the tank models will turn light blue or light yellow and then the game becomes extremely choppy.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Q6600 @ 3ghz
4gigs of RAM
GF 8800GT SuperClocked
Windows XP pro
Tried the following with no difference:
-Set to Win98/ME compatibility mode
-Dropped all details to low
-Rolled back to older video drivers
I would really like to enjoy this game since the MPI/coop mode had been implemented. Really sucks.
***EDIT*** I just noticed there is a Public Beta 4. We had been using 3. We will try this to see if it helps.
There's also a known issue with the latest GeForce drivers, along the lines of a memory leak that drags the game to a halt after playing for awhile... search for it on these boards and there's a link to older, proven drivers.

I have a 8500GT on one of my computers and haven't seen any issues with it yet. It's running the latest drivers as well.

My 8600 is fine w/ original drivers.

I don't remember the stickies being there until after had registered and posted.
-Trying even older drivers can cause issues with any other games my brother and I play. Eh.....I'll hold off on that as long as I can. Also, the original post mentions it, but was never updated to include any links to some...saving others time from digging through pages upon pages of posts.
-I've tried setting EVERYTHING to lowest possible details with no difference. I'll try just SKY this time.
Battlezone II is an old game. If setting sky detail to none doesn't work for you, I'm thinking the best way to get your video card to work with it would be to look for older drivers.
Try:
Quote from: Total Oblivion OmnisI recommend going into your video card settings and set a custom profile for BZII. Disable features one by one until the problem is fixed (hopefully). That's the best I can recommend.
I have two nvidia 8800 GTX 768mb video cards (SLI) & i'm using drive version 163.75. I'm not encountering any problems with the sky unless i use a newer driver version.
Putting SKY to none seemed to do it. Created some flashing, but that was fixed when I dropped LIGHTS also.
see my post about links to older nVidia drivers. every driver every made is on there, so you can download them easily. i would get someone to sticky it seeing as about 150 people have used them now...
i got gf9800gtx+ and bz2 working wery nice i try originals betas and newest ones,all are working nice on my graphics.
Im starting to consider thatsnot got somthing to do with graphics, maybe is sse mmx or cpu it self.

But you see, that is the problem, the latest DX and Video card drivers cut out DX6 and earlier support, and guess what BZ2 uses...

And guess what Bz2 hopefully wont use for long, if pb5 is made (fat chance).
Not a chance, rewriting the video system probably involves rewriting a good large chunk of the game. There could always be a PB5 (or a final), but there will not be a video system updating, that basically involves needing a new engine.
If only it was written using OpenGL instead, then it would be both forward and backward compatable. :P

The GTX 280 has had no such problem with 177.83 drivers on my side. Although, it's windows vista 64 bit (which is odd, since it's Vista 64 Bit and NOT having problems :?).
Edit: Ah yes, Geforce 8 series... 8, 9, and 200 series use same drivers, no?
It seems to be a problem with the G92 series of cores. BBB says that his older 8800GTS doesn't have issues, but that uses the older G88 core. If Steeveeo's 8800GT is a newer card, then it has a G92 core instead of a G88 core. And because the GTX 200 cards have a completely new core, it may not have the inadequacies that the G92 cores had.
