Bug in FS2004

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.discussion (More info?)

In my FS2004, there seems to be a bug. If I set regional settings to my
country instead of USA, the water looks like FS2002 and the effects are
gone.

Is MS aware of this problem? Are there any plans of fixing this??

I have a P4 3.2 GHz CPU with 1 GB memory and Radeon 9800 video card. I have
English version of Windows XP Pro and English FS2004. I am BTW from Norway,
and I have bought FS here too.

I would like to have my regional settings at Norwegian, but then I loose
all water effects.

FPS is locked on 18, wich it can display with no problem.

I have talked to several other people, and they have all the same problem:
the water effects are only on when US regional settings are selected in
Windows XP control panel.

This is not a bug, your settings must be low, or your PC
can not render everything in a good timely manner.
