    Grendade and Explosion damage causing odd video effects.

    This has happened before, but I don't know what is causing it or how I fixed it last time.

    Here is what is happening. When a grenade blows up next to me or I'm caught in an orbital strike, instead of my "vision" blurring and becoming disoriented the screen goes black and then slowly fades back in. It's weird I tell you. Anyway, could this be a video driver error?

    Again I had this problem about 2 months ago, but I don't remember what I was doing before the problem started or how I ended up fixing it in the end. Anyone had a similar problem and know what is going on?

    turn off AA in 2142 menus and test again, that should fix it
    then on your desktop, open nvidia control panel and override app settings and force AA on, this way you can have AA on and not the graphics going wierd

    This is a known problem with some of the more recent drivers on the newer Nvidia cards. Same thing happened to my 8800gt so i kept my drivers out of date.
