I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Whenever any of my
characters go in water and start to swim I cannot see underwater anymore.
The screen just goes blue and sort of boxy and nothing. I used to be able to
see underwater...strange.

Is this a graphics card driver problem...?

Has anyone else come across this ?

Can it be fixed.

Likely.

Just get the latest drivers from e.g. <www.nvidia.com&gt; (for GeForce) or
<www.ati.com&gt; (for Radeon).

I think some video cards had problems with the advanced graphics effects
(like full-screen glow). Try turning those off.

his beard wet again.

It should also be fixed in the 1.5 patch:

This is for Radean 8500/9000 though, not sure what you were using.
