You've got a wierd problem. Maybe you should try doing a full uninstall of mtm2 and then put it back in, sometimes that helps. And before you run it after installation, restart your computer.

Sounds to me like you have your graphics set too high.

Try toning things back a little, like decreasing your viewing distance, or increasing it, as the case may be, and the general settings like the truck quality. If you have a great graphics card, setting even the quality on low, doesn't make any difference, it still looks great.

I have mine set on low, and there is no difference between the look of things, with it high to low. You can try messing with your buffer settings too, see if you card with allow triple buffering, in the graphics menu.

I'd just start messing with some of your visual settings, until you're happy with it. Like the sparse settings on the tracks, and the lens flare box and the things like that, alot of those things don't need to be on.

Would it be possible to show us a screenshot of what you're talking about?

I think you're experiencing the noah effect. In the game, on the menu, go to

Options > graphics > hardware options

And uncheck the boxes for reflections AND truck reflections. You won't notice any significnt differece in the way the game looks and you should get rid of the water. Let us know if that doesn't fix you up.

Listen, this is not a debate, and it is not a matter of opinion. Do as I'm telling you and the water trouble will be taken care of.

Also, your picture does not allow remote linking. I changed it to a link so please do not change it back to an image. That just makes the page load slower.

Have you recently updated your graphic drivers? I had a similar problem when I updated to the latest nvidia drivers and had to roll back to the old drivers because the new ones really messed up mtm2.

Mal, look at his picture. You have to copy the url to the location bar. High vert truck, reflections turned on, water level high. There may indeed be a driver problem but until he gets rid of the noah effect, he won't be able to tell anything.

No you did not.

His picture reminded me of this..

It appears to be the noah effect but it wasn't in my case. The funky drivers were causing ground tiles to dissapear and reflect the sky and water.
