I also get the grid lines using OpenGL. But only in the overlay, not in the 3d portion of the screen. Also, OpenGL was much darker than Dx for me, even when I turned up the OpenGL brightness setting on my video card.

I think the grid-lines may have something to do with the video card used. I have an ATI card and I think they have some trouble with it.

I have to use OpenGL though, because using DirectX I randomly get a fatal error when I go to automap: "DDHelp has performed an illegal operation" blah blah blah. I believe DDHelp is part of direct draw and that I have either encountered a bug or there is something wrong with my system, but seeing as how my system is 4 years old, it's ok [img]tongue.gif[/img]
