    While I agree about the clipping plane, let's go all out and have them update the DirectX Wrapper that the game runs under. While I would prefer either a DirectX 10 or 11 update just upping it to 9 would solve a lot of issues with newer graphics cards and would allow for shiny water on PC and XBox.

    Yes, yes thank you, I tire of staring at clear jello (La Theine), or black tar (Port Bastok says hi) XD

    What issues with newer graphic cards? Who has graphic issues with this game? Why would think that D3D8 prevents the game from having "shiny water" already?

    Every now and then newer cards will have issues with the game. The Geforce 660 series did recently. New drivers sometimes don't support outdated games well, and you can't always dial back to older versions. Also, some graphic effects like those involving more realistic water, simply aren't supported under older versions of DirectX.
