I keep hoping that this gets fixed.
I have always advised people to get a G-force/nvidia card so it will work with AC for years.
Needless to say I stopped doing that when this issue was first reported. I really thought NVidia
would have reported a fix or pointed to some issue(s) that software is doing/not doing by now.
btw, I'm happy/proud that SC has work hard to trouble shoot this issue. I'm also sorry
you had to go to these efforts.

I have this issue but maybe not to the extent most of you do because it honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest. Its not like AC has beautiful graphics I want to savor anyways.
So the sky flickers now and then, doesn't hurt the gameplay whatsoever for me.

Will there ever be an MMO as good as AC?

It's a good card, but go for the 4850 instead, it's cheaper and faster.

el_ibn_der - as with all things computers YMMV. I'm happy it doesn't detract from your game. I hope you never get the entire screen flickering wildly that plagues several people who use Series 8/9 cards.
ATI cards - I know nothing about them, but recently seen a thread where they are having problems multilogging characters with them. If you dual/triple/etc log alot... you might want to check that thread out first.
headache_mt - even if you maximize the main chat window you still have the glitch bleeding thru? If your still around I'd love to know what card and what resoultion your playing the game at. I can't promise to fix it, but I can try to see if we can locate a better bandaid for your problem. The glitch fixes were, I thought, working for everyone so if I need more info to try to create another workaround.
wubbie - still don't own a series 8 or 9...

I recently upgraded to a NVidia GTX260 card from a 7800. Always had zero problems before, but have noticed flickers on the landscape every once in a while. Portions will briefly flash white. This is dual logged with lots of plugins loaded and have only had the card for 2 days, so not a lot of time to investigate. Will report back when I have more data.

I was REALLY hoping they would get this issue sorted out before the 100th patch. I might just have to get this running under WINE again by substituting the currently bugged WINE dll with a copy of the real Windows binary.
