Graphic video problems: the word is in darkness

[talon]

I’m using this install  release version
http://www.destructavator.com/92dl/ufoai/ufoai_2_3_win32_r30111.exe
1. when I try to turn off full screen the game shinks way to much even when mine is set to 800x600
2. When I change programs and come back the gaming screen pixels are distorted
Even after I exit the game and return it still got this weird low graphic pixel problem and requires an unsitall, install
The first 2 I can deal with
3. When I start the campaign the geoscape is just a black screen I can’t see anything
I tried placing a base then coming back but still just black

Side notes.

There used to be graphics on the ufoedpia for item I liked these and they have been removed
On the base screen when selecting your aircraft the picture is zoomed in way too close
Thanks for your help I really want to play the 2.3

You use nvidia or ati graphic-card? maybe update driver.
Disable shaders in video settings could help, if you got a older card.
you using xp or vista/windows7? try compatible mode for xp if you got vista/windows7

changing the GlSL in game options, fixed i can now see the geoscape thats works fine

however i still have the problem where it the game starts correctly the first time
but in subsequent starts the game screen shrinks to a squished 3x4 inch mini box

updated the dirvers still the same problem even after reinstall of UFO

p.s.
i watched you video Kobold, when you say reflection you means on the walls and such when the rocket was fired, it was strangely cool
i have not played a battle yet as i'm still trying to fix shrink screen problem

i tried making a new install and creating a save game, unistalling except for save game and reinstallling

but it still suffers from the mini screen problem

do you know where the save game file is
if i can't fix i might try a manual copy and paste of the save game when uniostall/install see if that helps
arghh so painful

any others suggestions anyone

destructavator uploaded a new version try it out: http://www.destructavator.com/92dl/ufoai/ufoai_2_3_r30221.exe
the savegames located in: i dont know lol
possible you need microsoft visual c++ 2005 and 2010 redistributable version.

and dont forget to tell me if you can see the reflections from that damn rocket

Good luck

Does it look normal (version 30507)? Is the ground really made of steel (?) or is it some kind of a glitch? It's hard to see anything here.

EDIT
OK, I tried all different settings and it looks like that only with lightmap block size set to High.

Pretty sure it's not supposed to look like that.
