That green around the station. Is anyone else seeing this in game? I also see this around the Nial fighters when at ranges greater than around 150. Less than 150, it's ok. Happens in every mission with Nials and stations.

Just wounder if this is a common thing, or if I should worry about my comp or demo copy.

I really don't have any experience with V3's but I suggest you to try out several drivers. If latest does not work, then try second to latest...

Also overclocking may cause texture corruptions...

I also have voodoo 3 and I do not have the problem. Try to change the drivers as mentioned above. I installed all the newest drivers and am running the game with 3dfx Glide, not direct3d.

The green is transparant on all video cards....except some of the Voodoo line apparently. We're you using Glide or D3D?

We used this effect to optomize LODs as much as possible.

Green on nials and stations?? who the hell made that blunder?!

It must be you 3d card ...and most probably is. see if you have some 'uncoventional' settings and/or drivers. Its not my fault!!!

It appears that your three dimensional accellerator card is incorrectly handling the transparency settings for the game known as Freespace Two.
It is my recommendation that you remove your three dimensional accellerator card from your computational machine and hit it several times with a mallet.
I thank you for your cooperation on the above matter.
