Ok, large flashing lights?
Ok so, just updated to the latest drivers for my GeForce FX5700LE off Nvidia's website, and now Darwinia is having a little problem with the blinking lights. The pixels are bloody huge.
Revert to old divers? Meh, I will mess around with the settings before I do that.

Ok so new beta, and the same problem still exists with the flashing lights. I have the newest drivers for my graphics card, nVidia FX5700LE, and yet the problem remains.
So, what to do is the question? Messing around with the graphics settings does not fix it.
Ok well Omega drivers work fine, but have screwed up other games....damn.

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same problem with a Geforce 6600:
http://www.hylobatidae.org/misc/darwinia.jpg
System specs (ooer):
AMD Athlon 64, 3200+,
Windows XP SP2, all patches,
NForce 4-based motherboard
PCI-Express Nvidia Geforce 6600, latest drivers (66.93),
1GB memory,
Blue LEDs on front,
Really clacky old keyboard off a 486 (microswitches ahoy!)
It's slightly annoying as I'm really, really enjoying the game - it's like a pimple on the face of the Mona Lisa...
I'll try downgrading the graphics drivers to see if that fixes it, anyway.

Two thing you could try.
1) If you have any overclocking on you graphics card then take it off.
2) Goto you Nvidia control panel and select performance & Quality settings and see if Negative LOD bias is set to 'Allow'
If that did not fix the problem then explain how you removed the new drivers that you tried. You might still have some of the newer driver remaining on your system

Forgot to say - the game demo works absolutely fine!
No overclocking, no 'Negative LOD bias' setting available and everything else left at default, and newer drivers removed with the proper NVidia uninstall thingy from the 'Add/Remove Programs' control panel entry.
Still, I've been having great fun, despite the oddities...

Dual screens, you say?
Yes! Two 17in CRTs as rescued from likely oblivion in a skip. I probably should have mentioned this, but I forgot...
I'm currently away from my PC (no Darwinia for a week, the horror) but I'll try it single-headed when I get back.
Incidentally, after playing on Yard for an hour or so, the problem fixed itself. I wondered if it was to do with me changing resolutions (framerate was a bit low at 1280x960) but I haven't been able to replicate this - changing resolution in a recently started game doesn't fix the textures.
Hmm... Nvidia driver bug?
