I'm sure you've all heard about the problems XWA had when run on nVidia 8000 series cards (particularly the 8800 ones), so I was wondering if anyone's tried running the game on the new 9000 series cards, and, if they have, if they've encountered the same problems the previous cards have had.
I can answer this. I have a 9600 M GT (256 MB). Objects disappear, constantly, when I move the ship, first mission, the cockpit of the Corellian transport disappears and reappears. When I was in combat, first mission,, the enemy ship appears on the radar, but disappears in front of me, laser fire disappears.
I have a 9800GTX+ and I can't play XWA properly without playing in software rendering mode, which is unacceptable. I can't play a 640x480 game on a 1920x1200 screen. I suffer from the classic "no models, only backdrops, except in the targeting computer" problem that I can't seem to fix no matter how many times I fiddle with compatibility or nVidia options.
I think new drivers simply break XWA, and I'm not going to revert all the way back to 169 drivers just to play XWA. This is very frustrating.
however, I would very very much suggest that it be reorganized/rewritten to not be so confusing. it took about four re-readings of the thread to figure out what exactly to do.
