    Yes, software mode is one such (last resort) workaround, but it can be very juddery. In software rendering mode, your graphics card's 3D capabilities are not being used at all, a software renderer and thus the CPU, is doing all of the work. Unfortunately for MTW players the software renderer was removed from that game so it's not an option.

    Ok found it: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=305307

    In this thread at the TWC, the OP links to a thread at the Nvidia forums and the official CA .com site.

    It seems that the pre 100.x drivers solve this problem. This might make sense actually because I had this problem on a 7300GT with the latest drivers. Installing the older drivers and changing a few setting eliminated it.

    [speculation]In short this issue may not be the card at all, but Nvidia drivers between certain versions.[/speculation]

    Asai,

    Thanks very much for your help with this issue. If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting I switch to an older driver for my video card. I have to admit to some trepidation about doing that, since I can't predict how it'll effect my other games...

    This is entirely up to you of course. How it affects your games depends on which other games you are playing? In reality though it's a lottery. Before you uninstall the current drivers I advise that you identify the version and download them as a backup. If installing the older drivers does not satisfy then you can revert back. It's always a risk however so if you are unsure then I would advise that you leave it and instead try running the game on a different machine, if possible, or continue using software rendering.

    I have not the game currently installed, but i am absolutely certain that is in the central Options menu; either in the "game" options or the "graphics/visuals" options. If i am not mistaken it requires you to tick a box for the fullscreen or widescreen.

    In any case however even if you dont find it it makes little difference in playing the game - i got the impression that your field of vision is the same regardless.
