try changing the mipmap detail all the way over to quality

I've also thought about asking for this paint, it sure would be nice for flying to Madiera.

I had something similar happen with the weird lines and it turned out my graphics card, which is the same as yours, was getting way too hot.

good to hear mate

did it activate?

i've only been sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night since it was released. before i'd sleep 8 to 10.

ok thanks for your advice
