GFX... water...

[Frier]

.. JUST GOT SI!! Yippee...

... one thing though, I set the settings so I could have awsome water in DAOC...

... logged in my character and the water was just like the classical DAOC!

Im running a 2.2 Celeron, Geforce4 440se/si. 256ram... ARRHG!

Any suggestions on what the problem is?!

You are not the first to be caught out by this.

Despite you having a Geforce 440 it is a MX model which doesnt support the hardware acceleration needed to display the SI water effect. Sorry to have to be the one to break this news.

No patches or driver updates will change this - it is a limitation of the hardware and unfortunate branding by nVidia of its chipsets, as a GeForce 3Ti500 is superior to GeForce 4MX, as it contains the necessary Pixel and Vertex Shaders.

Then again did you log in under Camelot's old symbol or did you use the new one that came with SI when you installed it? sounds silly but I did this first time round and wondered what the problem was

One last thing you can check.. in your options on the character selection screen there is an option to turn water from classic to the new funky look it has now, it should do this automaticaly but you never know.
