I have an ATi Radeon 9600XT and the latest Catalyst, and I'm having lots of graphical errors ingame. It seems to be a z-buffering issue, because any overlapping prims show the one being covered in front. This problem hurts my eyes and makes it very hard to finish the house I'm building. Anyone have any suggestions? I've already tried messing with my display settings but that didn't help at all. Thanks in advance.

I had something similar to this one, the prims where set where they where spose to be, but zooming out and they flickered, looked like they where overlapping.

Object detail set to max, and it wanished, to low and it came back.
Only happen when i zoom out about tho.

Shot in the blind, but try maxing object detail in options.

Yes, I'm seeing something like this too, drove myself mad trying to correct prim alignment till I realised it was a graphics artifact. Only seems to have appeared recently though....

Go to Omega Drivers they are backed by ATI...ATI actually sends them the newest drivers before release to test...they then tweak those drivers for max performance and put them out on their page.

Before going with the Omega's I had problems all the time since then not one.

The Omega drivers have been the most stable with my 9600XT as well. I recommend them.
