So when I check out the ships in the tech room, it crashes. When I click the Ulysses it loads up as does the Hercules but the image looks a bit distorted. When I click any of the other ships below those two, it crashes. The music also feels a little distorted like it's skipping somewhat. In the training mission, every now and then a certain area in space gets all green and polygonal.

Anyone else experience any of this? The whole thing feels a bit unstable to me.

I gotta get to work but I figured I'd slap this up here as I don't immediately see any problems beyond his video card.

[Jeff Vader]

He's missing the patches for the MediaVPs, but I would also blame the gpu. Perchance advise him to remove MV_Advanced and see if anything works better.

[The E]

Yeah, mediavps should be patched, and video card upgraded. In addition, it could be worthwhile to try the -novbo and -no_set_gamma options.
