I have a problem-PLEASE HELP JUST ONE QUESTION

Hi ewerybody!

Im playing the game just a few days now ,but there is a strage thing I noticed:
so it appears that my ships doesn't have any "skin" I mean they are just colored by 2 "paint-like " colors and thats it (whyfor is then the 32 color depth) It looks wery ugly + I cant build unike ships a watched the tutorial made the steps but I cant place any extra peaces on any hull...

I dont know if thats because of my graphic card ,I installed the latest driver from the net and no progress
(Geeforce FX 5200 128 + 512 ram in the machine)

Could either (or both) of you post your debug.err files (from the GC2 dir) here? One thing I can recommend is to set your language settings (in control panel) to English-US if it's not there already. This has for some odd reason been known to produce some very unusual graphic anomalies otherwise.
