Hello,
 first of all: don't flame if there is already a thread about my problem. I used the search function and found no answers.
 
 My Problem: I just reinstalled XWA and it looks terribly ugly. to be precise. If I am far away from an object it looks ok, but if it happens to be at ca. 0.3 clicks, the textures start to blur.
 I tried almost everything, from getting new drivers to mess around with the settings.. with no results. So I'm crying out for help :cry8: 
 (It's not the corrupt fonts thing. I use the patch for high res)
 
 My specs:
 Athlon XP 1700
 MSI K7T 266 Pro2 board
 512 mb ram
 GeForce 4800 (creative labs), ForceWare 81.98
 Win XP Pro
 
 Ingame Settings: everything as high as possible 
 Res: 1280*1024 (as in Windows)
 
 Driver Settings: 
 AA: 4xS
 Anisotropic: 8x
 Vsync: active
 Force Mip Maps: Trilinear
 Texture Clamp: on
 Extensionrestriction: off
 Hardwareacceleration: 1 Screen
 Tripple Buffer: on
 Neg. LOD: Clamp
  
 
  
  
    Can you try a post in the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project forums (
http://www.xwaupgrade.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi) (specifically "Soft/Hardware Problems")? I wouldn't know about your particular problem, but I'm sure someone there does. You can actually also try the LucasArts tech support board (
http://forums.lucasarts.com), too.
  
 
  
  
    Your problem is to do with the way the game uses software vectors and is quite common but usually only at super close range. May I suggest setting everthing on your card to automatic instead of forcing the game to do things it wasn't designed for.
 
 post at XWAU like the B-Wing pilot says.
