| The best solution I've found avoids fiddling with your drivers, instead you adjust your graphics acceleration. To do so, right-click on your Windows desktop, select 'Properties', click on the 'Settings' tab, then click on the 'Advanced' button. This will bring up a new panel, select the 'Troubleshoot' tab. You should see a bar allowing you to set your graphics acceleration (it's probably set to the extreme right ('Full') at this point). For my card I had to turn it down 3 notches (i.e. 3 to the left from 'Full', or 2 from the right from 'None').
This disables D3D acceleration, and fixes the problem for me with no in-game side effects that I've seen up to now (you will see cursor trails on the menus prior to actually entering the game, but this stops once you are playing). Note: don't adjust this with the game running or it might lock it up, adjust it first then launch the game.
I noticed no performance hit from doing this, YMMV. Other cards/drivers might require more or less fiddling with the precise acceleration (I'm using a GeForce Ti-4200 with the 93.71 drivers). Make sure to remember to restore your previous acceleration level (probably 'Full') when not playing Torment.  |
