You can post your pic for us to see by using an image host such as Imageshack or Photobucket(registration is free at both). With the pic we may better be able to answer your question.

Judging simply by the fact that you've got the new water and that I just got a new graphics card recently, I think it's probably your game. Especially since you didn't have this problem with the original ZT2.  Is your disk scratched in any way?

I would try reinstalling it, that usually solves problems, otherwise I would suggest getting a new game and returning that one.

Someone else may be able to help you more.

Hi...it could be a graphics card problem but if you have the new water, I wouldn't think so  :huh So if you could please post your system specs and your graphic card information...I don't think I could help you with it but I know someone else that is more knowledgable about computers can.

Here is a topic about graphic cards, maybe you can compare your specs there with others.

Hope you solve your problem.

The ES comes with a new reflective water look, but it only shows up when you have a very powerful graphic card and all settings set on high. There are many topics about this new water, so for more information, look around for these  ;)

I had this EXACT problem. This is the fix: go to the graphics setings and put them on custom. Then put "terrain texture sixe" on low and then the problem oes away forever. :)

Glad to be of assistance.

I too wonder what spectacular effects does. Maybe it makes sunsets better. I dunno  ;)
