Same settings as last night before I had to download the new version tonight... I can't seem to change the very dark blue almost black color of the SURFACE of the water. The color changes I make in the Enviormental Editor only effect the underwater color. I can get the color to show when I uncheck "Atmospheric Shaders" on the graphic's tab but my beautiful water (that I had) is replaced with the dark blue/black water similar to one of the presets available. Thanks for any idea's.

had the same problem here on one of the machines - a quick update of the card drivers sorted it out

Thanks for the lead addax but it didn't help... Although I did install the current graphics driver the surface water is still that ugly almost black. Wonder if my graphic's card is starting to fail. The only place I have a problem on my computer with graphics is the surface of Linden water. ???

Water has turned black for me, too. I posted my specs in the JIRA, thanks.

Just curious what is shown for Water Color in World / Environment Settings / Environment Editor, for those seeing this problem.
