Babelfish? :D

With Unreal 227, both Direct3D9 and OpenGL are good. The final result depends on your graphics card and drivers. I use D3D9 because OpenGL does not work on my nVidia GeForce 8800GTX due to a driver/renderer compatibility issue.

Strange...I have a GeForce 8800GTX, and I use OpenGL all the time.  Seems fine to me :P

I think you have an older driver Shivaxi. Older drivers work fine, but for quite some time already, the newer drivers have a display corruption problem when switching to fullscreen and back.

The difference between OpenGL and D3D usually are only preference. I could use both and get the same results, so I use OpenGL just because it has "Open" in its name :)

Ooohhh...that bug...yeah that's really annoying. But that never happened for me even with the new drivers until I upgraded my Mother Board...so I dunno.

But thanx for that post Smirf. I'll definitely be trying that first option ;)
