severe corrupting graphics

[XyZspineZyX]

hi i love far cry , but one day, after i played the demo , i decided to use rage3d tweak to change a few strange driver settings (like turn up z compression, and a few other things...) and when i launched far cry demo again, the menus looked good, the loading screeen looked good, but the moment i go into 3d, everything looks fuxxored, i can see 3 boxes on top of my screen containing the corrupt renders of textures that were supposed to be on screen... and my own hand only gets rendered properly when i look straight up and not too many polygons get rendered...

umm nevermind i solved the problem... reinstalled (actually had to redownload the installer cuz download.com's kontiki installer seemed to delete the files it download when i uninstalled it...) and now everythings fine...

uhh good news everyone...

its still not fixed, it came back by itself, i installed new catalysts and its still not gone, and im sick of reinstalling the single player demo...if this doesnt work anymore i'll just get rid of it and not buy far cry at all cuz its sucking for me right now...

::edit:: turning off anti aliasing from the gamecfg file solved this problem... hmm let me see if its turning it on at all that's causing the problem, or setting it at 4x is causign the problem...

hmm turning off anti aliasing completely seems to be the only way to fix it... shame , tho... far cry looks exactly like the still renders from the little bits of graphics that i can see rendered...
oh well at least theres something to feast my eyes on...

please help, i cannot seem to find the gamecfg file. i mean i can find it and system cfg but where the heck do you turn off anti aliasing? i cannot find that (gonna look again)
