I downloaded the Homeworld 2 demo the other day. Everything ran great, except most if not all of the ship models had dithering problems at certain viewing angles or on certain areas of the ship. It occured at all the resolutions that I tried. Has anyone else experienced this?
15" Al Powerbook, 1.67 GHz G4, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9700 with 128 MB VRAM.

i must say, i looked at it some more yesterday and maybe there is some dithering after all... hard to say. nothing spectacular anyway.
when starting up HW2 shows a warning message to me that shadows and other eye-candy is not supported on my videocard and therefore turned off.

Yeah, it turned out to be the shadows. For some reason they were turned on by default for me. I turned them off and everything is fine. The dithering was extremely distracting, though, when shadows were turned on. You wouldn't have missed it easily.
