Im hopeing someone either has a straight answer or a fix here...
Well, wanting to re-live some past game experiences I busted out the old Omikron...never finished it back in the day due to limited attention span but remember the game being quite awesome! Loaded her up, everything went smoothly...no issues what so ever with Windows 7...except one thing...graphic corruption.
Make it short and sweet, the graphics display what I can best describe as "trailing black and blue pixels with movement". Nothing I can do has fixed the issue (changing compatibility, even using 3D Analyzer) and nothing can fix this glitch.
I read on a forum somewhere else that it is due to the Radeon HD4XXX series LACK of 16/24-bit zbuffer and this is causing the issue...is this true? My hardware and software work fine, nothing physically wrong, but it may be an actual hardware limitation on a 11 year old game on new age hardware...weird...
Heres the forum that I was able to find out about the zbuffer limitation (if one exists):

The very first picture explains it all...this is exactly whats happening on my rig...
Anyone else have this issue and fixed it or know what may? I have the game on my Dreamcast, so I could play it, but lets face it...even with 11 year old games the Dreamcast is quite a few steps behind graphically, even on Omikron compared to PC. Thanks to anyone that has a fix or know whats wrong...like I said, fix or not, I just want a straight answer here!
Anyone who can fix my issue gets a special present ;-)
