well i reinstalled my game and got my PDS system to work, had to reset my league and recreate all my rosters, now as of today I just installed a new video driver for my NVIDIA GeForce4 ti 4200 AGP8X card. I installed the newer 93.71 driver that came out in November, and now I see wierd black lines on my screen when starting a game. So far this is the only game I have seen vid issues with since adding the new driver.
I have tried multiple graphics settings ingame from 600 x 800 16 to others trying to get rid of this problem. Do I ned to reinstall the game again?

ahh I see what went wrong, Once I switched shadow detail to "none" the problem went away so no-harm-no-foul.

It's possible the latest version of the driver doesn't support the graphics technique I use to create shadows. The version of the driver I use is 81.98 and it doesn't have any difficulty with the shadows.
I'll try and see what's going on. There may be something wrong with the drivers as other versions of the drivers seem to work well. I may have to contact nVidia and see what's going wrong.

Hi again.
I have checked out driver version 93.71 and yes, it's definately having a problem rendering real time shadows. The earlier verison, 81.98 does not have this problem. The shadow cast technique I'm using is fairly standard with nothing special really being done. I'll poke around and see if I can find out why this is happening. I'm not sure what sort of response I'll get from nVidia, if any.
