Got the same "green" screens at times. Looks like it is running in 4 colors or something. Wierd thing is, it works in Voodoo fine, but my Elsa TNT card, using Elsa drivers gives corrupted colors, but with reference drivers worked fine. Think game looks better with Voodoo drivers, but not sure yet. Will try TNT again and compare. Great game though.
