After some more testing, I've isolated the problem: CMSF does not like the "Edge Detect" setting in ATI's AA control panel. With any setting below "Edge Detect" ("Wide-Tent" in my case), the in-game AA now works properly.

Any comments from the devs or testers about this? With such a mainstream card like the 4870, I'm surprised hardly anyone has commented on this.

What I've found is this: -With in-game AA settings set to "on" and ATI's control panel AA settings set to override the game's settings, I get the awful graphics shown above. -With the in-game AA settings set to "on" and ATI's control panel AA settings set to use the in-game settings, only the map labels and the "move/assault/etc. panel at the bottom have the "purple graphics" problem. -With the in-game AA settings set to "off" and ATI's control panel AA settings set to "use in-game settings" I don't have any corrupted graphics, but of course the game looks ugly (but playable) with all those jagged edges. I should add the video card is very new, not overclocked, and running on the latest Catalyst drivers. No problems like this show up in any of my other games.

I experience the same type of problem with my ATI HD 4870.

So...anyone?

This is what the game looks like for me when I try to load up a mission - the sky and ground is covered in purple pixellated graphics. I'm running an ATI HD 4870 at 1920x1200. I've tried different graphics card and in-game settings, but so far nothing has worked. How do I fix this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/LukeFF/CMSF.jpg

Those aren't Czech markings, though they do look similar:

Longer than the number of question marks in your post.

Correction - the swastikas in IL-2 are disabled by default but can be easily enabled via a number of third-party programs, such as IL2 MAT Manager.

I loved this quote:

Somehow I'm not surprised, Siggi.

Excellent! I especially liked the part where the German solider steps on the Tiger commander's head.
