Coming back to see if this ever got solved for stock a2.  I think it was fixed for FO.  Anyone?

Can you describe the bug with a bit more depth?

Yes.  When the initial load screen appears with the progress bars, there are six big squares that a blue, gray and purple shades.  When you get to the game, the ships are rendered correctly, but none of the icons or windows are, making it impossible to play.  The icons etc. are all plain blocks.  I'm using an Nvidia 570 with Windows Vista.

I believe someone else fixed this by updating their nvidia drivers.

Nice card btw.

Odd, that fixed it.  Cool!  Hey any ideas on how to get it to work better with modern speedy mice?  My Razer whatever mouse appears to cause choppy movement in game.

Never mind!  I turned off compatibility mode, which I was fiddling with trying to get it to work, and the mouse works normally!  Ah precious wasted time, we meet again!

I'm really surprised they fixed the driver.
