Sorry, I figured huge gaping screenshots could be frowned upon.

All i can think of is trying to update drivers again.

NEED a screenshot really...

What does not satisfy you about my screenshot?

Turn Local Fog off Luckz.

As I said, I toggled all settings to their extremes. It does not care. Roughly looks like this. (The whiteness is because I had to open my quick launch menu to get my screenshot app out, and tabbing out of the window to anything else makes it hang and crash as seen there. But before I tab it also only sorta-lives for a few moments, notably the F1 icon flashes, but as soon as I try to shoot or anything it crashes.)

Just had started a IA or MP game:

If I start an instant action or MP game, I see the HUD but otherwise only see what looks like, depending on the map, blue or reddish fog. The game sometimes just crashes then, sometimes it lets me fire a few missiles. Changing graphics settings does not seem to do anything.
Vista64 (with write access to the game folder), 9600GT with 185.81 drivers.

ESET Smart Security falsely flags <BZ2FOLDER>/bzone.exe as a virus when the 1.3TA5 installer is run. I know its typically a good idea to run installers with antivirus turned off, but I just thought I should post it here.

Had that happen too. I sent the bzone.exe to ESET saying that I presume it to be a false positive.
