Why is my water grayed out under options? I use windows Xp home with 256k ram sdram. I just installed a Gforce Xf 5200 128 ddr ram into an AGP slot. Box states most have a motherboard with an AGP 2.0 slot or 3.0 how do I know if I have the a 2 or 3 slot? I do meet all the othe requirements. SL does look good. I used an MX 240 card with SL 1.0 but I wanted a new card for SL 1.1. If you lived near Northen NV. I would ask you to take a look.

Currently, the ripple water doesn't work with FX cards. I have a GeForce FX 5600 w/256mb, and it's greyed out for me. It's a known issue, something to do with vertexes. They're working on it, hopefully it will be fixed for FX users soon.

ok a question, if water ripple effect does not work well with GF FX cards, why does the SL Website promote them?
I bought one to see SL in all it's glory to find I can't do that, would have got something else if I had known !!

Most graphics card cannot currently do it. It's still a 'beta' thing, I think. Even when you can do it, it doesn't always look too great (so I've heard). In any case, I'm sure it will be working soon.

You can activate it in one of the ini files so that the option isn't greyed out if you really want to try it. I haven't since I figure they disabled it for a reason and I have enough crashing issues as it is ;P
