Ow, sorry didn't know the ban thingy, but anyways, I've reinstalled the game about 3 or 4 times, and still having the same problem, but it's weird, the first time I installed the game, all was OK, and then I had to reinstall it because of the CTD save glitch, and then all the madness started, ... maybe a water mod will do it... anyone has a solution, and by the way, my graphics drivers are ok 9600M GT NVIDIA Geforce... and well, the game ran ok with the water the first time I installed it. It might just simply be a graphics glitch. Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? Also, try updating DirectX, that helps sometimes I think. That's weird, because I recently installed another game, and with that game... I actually updated directX, and well, my graphic drivers are up to date, and here is something weird, the water looks like in the photo, but if I let a item or shoot at the water, it's refractions and all the details appear, so it must be something with the game, geez... I'm not a expert neither qualify as anything with those matters...
