New nVidia drivers (non-beta) linked at http://techreport.com/discussions.x/16439 . Not sure if this fixes the bug. If not, keep bugging nVidia to support DX6 better.

Private 1.3 builds do seem to have a workaround for this bug.

What fixed it? Changes to the Skydome code?

Are those builds available anywhere, or will we be able to get them in the future?

At this point, I have pretty much given up hope on getting this working otherwise. The GTX 200 line doesn't work on drivers older than the 177 series, which I think are too recent.

They're called private builds for a reason. :roll:

They'll be released when the next public beta of 1.3 is released.

Does that means GTX series wont work on older driver under 9?

VSMIT

I don't know.  I don't personally have a GT200 card.

Once again, nVidia has posted http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewstory&threadid=97118 new drivers. No idea if they fix things. As before, post-1.3pb4a builds have a workaround, I think. Not sure when it'll release.

1.3 tech alpha 5 is out now, and should squash this bug.

GSH  I just want to say thank you very much for all you hard work. DX9 patch works just fine for me.  :-D

This thread is possibly able to be un-stickied, or un-stickied with a replacement post that says:

1) 1.0 thru 1.3pb4a (inclusive) - turn sky detail off. Bug nVidia if you feel strongly about this.
2) 1.3ta5 and up - all fixed.

Well, I did amend the Solution section of the OP, if that helps any.

I have this same exact problem with the nvidia geforce 8600, only workaround that's worked for me is changing the view in game, (like changing 800/600 to 1024/768) its sometimes a pain when the buttons disappear then i need to go by sound :p
