So, I just installed the newest XP driver for my Radeon 9800 video card. It all seemed spiffy, but when I played UT, I noticed this wierd black square around any character I see (including myself in 3rd person). I went into the 3-D settings for the driver and disabled all the frills it had, and the problem still persisted. However, I found out that when I reduce character shadow to blob or none, the problem goes away. When I set shadow back to high, the problem comes back again. With shadows, do all UT chars have an invisible black square around them? I noticed that when playing the Alien Swarm mod (before the new vid driver), there was a faint, almost invisible black square around each characer, say, 512 unreal units wide. Other people playing with me on other computers said that they saw it, too. Strange...[br][img width=800 height=600]../../files/public/1176593124_244_FT0_shadowbug.jpg[/img]

Hmm, sounds like the driver is the problem, if it worked good before.
Just downgrade to previous driver if this one isn't vital in any way.

Done. Problem gone. One of the great things Unreal ed taught me: when in doubt, undo. Thanks, Bjossi.
