When I enable AntiAliasing in game options while Light Glow is enabled the screen becomes black and I only see light sources, meaning I see nothing but little lights, no city, no cars, no road. When I tried AA with Light Glow disabled everything ran perfectly, but I don't think I'll be playing without light glow since it gives so much realism to the game. I tried enabling AA from the CP and it worked with Light Glow, but the game was horribly slow compared to when AA was enabled in-game. Anyone suffered the same problem?
Is there anyway I can solve this?

A few of us had this problem in the demo (they just said turn off AA) and it actually appeared again for me in the retail version 1.1. I currently have AA and light glow both enabled and it is working. I noticed certain resolutions + the details level (the slider right below the res setting) had something to do with it so I kept playing until I found something that showed me the environment properly (higher than half-detail with res of 800x600 worked, and now 1280x1024 works for me). If you pause it in-game and do the changes, you can see what will work and what won't.

I know it's not a technical solution, but it's a workaround until someone figures out exactly why. And make sure you have the latest drivers for your card.

What's your videocard? I've already tried many combinations and none of them worked for me.
I am currently using 4.9 cats, I'll try the 4.11 which I hope will solve my problem, but it's going to be a long wait for me (Dial-up user :( )

ATI 9800 Pro (128MB)... I was using 800x600 with the 4.9 cats ... only tried higher after getting the 4.11s. Also, all my ATI card settings are enabled ... fast write, VPU recover, etc.

If you turn off AA in the game, does it work normally ?

For the drivers, they have smaller download packages for dialup..
