My afterburners have wierd black squares over them. I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this. The squares get annoying and they get in the way of some good screenshots.

Can you post your PC specs and a screenshot please?

I know my system isnt top of the line, but the afterburner used to work fine.
You can see some screenshots at:

And this only started happening a few days ago.
Its worked just fine since i got the game a year ago.

I believe that you have a graphics problem, not even speed and not enough memory.

Have you loaded any addons that might have overwritten the texture bitmaps used for rendering the afterburner effect? If they used to work but don't now, then this might be a cause. The effects bitmaps are to be found in the effects/texture folder.
