		GF4, C&C Renegade & curved surfaces... Hi I installed C & C Renegade original. In the graphics option menu, Iâve set the graphics to full. There is also an option: âcurved surfaces (if hardware supported)â� but I canât select it. Iâm using a GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB 8X AGP, the latest 53.03 Detonator drivers & DX9.0b. Doesnât this card support curved surfaces? Do I need to update the game with a patch? Thanks in advance.

		GF4, C&C Renegade & curved surfaces... I'm not sure what they mean by curved surfaces; AFAIK that isn't really a hardware feature at all.. maybe it applies to some particular card or something. It could also just be an incompatibility with the game and your driver.

		GF4, C&C Renegade & curved surfaces... New ATI cards have "curved surface". Basically it's a card option where it adds intermediate polygons to objects (if the supports it) to make them look smoother and such. You gotta have one of the DX9 ATI cards to use it (not sure about DX8 cards or Nvidia cards).

		GF4, C&C Renegade & curved surfaces... That's the name. At least that's what ATI calls it. Not sure if that's what the C&C game is refering to but it's the only thing I can think of.

		GF4, C&C Renegade & curved surfaces... That's true, I forgot about that one.
