missing textures in afthermath, possible info

http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=3184

Seems awfully similar to things happening to me and others.
But i could be wrong, and it is from mars 2005 so not all that current.
But as the recommended NVIDIA driver don't even support any of the 6xxx cards, and the game was made back in 2003 it dose not seem to be a too far fetched idea that it is the same problem, roughly at least.

Oh i know it is not the same game mentioned, but still, it seems probable.

1.4 game questions, plz help thingie

Hi.
I am playing aftermath, as i got a new graph card a while ago and desided it would be nice to actualy play the game now that i am able to.
I like aftermath so far, allot.

Some questions i have, are the flares really used fore something?
For something useful i mean.

Smoke grenades seem to work for a relative short time, or is it only the graphics thats disperses fast?

And how are exp done/work in the 1.4 game?
If my troops kills the unconscious enemy's do they get more exp?
If i shoot for example two shots (shotgun) for 900 damage, do i get the exp for 1800 damage done, or the creatures hp, or exp value?

If i can enter either a ufo or base without clearing the outsides, dose it matter?
(besides the obvious exp loss)

Grenades, acid and fire, are they useful?
(more then the usual one that is)

With all the patches and such, are the info about the weapons valid, or where can i find out the effective weapons info to look for?


Russian mission are not at a high lvl of priority or whatsitsname, but i got rocket ass rammed with a battleship mission.
Oh yeah, psi and alien rail weapon was there too.
And i have not got blue armor develop't yet even.. >_<


Now for some real trouble i got, in ufo ships or bases, several rooms are missing their textures.
The aliens themselves show up fine, but 1-3 rooms usualy are greay unifor non renderd blanks.
Floor shape and such shows, but not the "paint".
I tryed to re in stall, both game and my nividia drivers (nividia 6200 card) still same thing happens.
No matter if i use one or the other way to patch, or windowed mode, or setup settings or annything.
Can my cd1 or cd2 (witch got a few year on the belt) be scratched so something not being installed?
I are downloading the game from the net to see if that helps -if- it is a scratch.

But have you any help to give with getting the missing textures to work for me?

pilots, their stats

I dont remember if all their stats go up in the training module, or if some reqierd combat.
Or if all their stats was able to grow.
Or what stats was best to get when hiring.

No dont have the manual left, i think so if it is in there in understandable form i dont remeber where it is or what it said..
